Wordless Outdoor Wordful Watery to Join
Between the bay [along the marina and Shoreline Blvd., downtown] and the city buildings there's a grassy median with sculptures along the way...hidden in one area, in a grassy knoll, is a pond and the bronze work of kids, skipping rocks. I've actually shared this area before, but this time when we were walking there, the pond was actually cleaned of debris from leaves and trash and the fountain was running!!!
Aye Matey!!! Yer a foxy little one I tell ya. Grrrrrr Is that a sword in that dar hand or 'er ya just glad to see me? Love the photos my friend. Cute statute. But I'm more infatuated with yer piratess LOL :)

Oh I love the statue of the little boy. Is he trying to cross through the rocks?

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

As an art lover, really like the sculptures. They look really nice against the green watery background. Sorry we're getting all the rain. I'm trying not to complain since I've heard from several of my friends how dry it is there. Hopefully the drought will end soon. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteCool! Don't you just love the saturated pinks of oleanders....

Hi Anni, such pretty pictures! That water is so very green, and the statues are really neat. I always appreciate it when somebody years before made something for us to enjoy later on. Planning for the future, they were.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday, and thanks so much for stopping by to say hi.

ReplyDeleteHere’s My Watery Wednesday
Love the sculpture - looks a lot like the one right by Lake Loveland. Who was the artist? Looks very familiar!
ReplyDeleteLovely place to spend some time off .... and great shots! Thanks for visiting :)

I love the sculptures. Looks like a nice spot.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully lifelike sculptures, aren't they, Anni? And I'm sure this is much nicer without the debris, and with the fountain running, than it was before. Lovely Watery Wednesday post. Today is my first contribution, because we've just spent a month in watery places and have plenty of photos. See you later for TTT.

Such a beautiful spot and I love the sculptures, they're so realistic, aren't they! I wish they would have something like that over here where I live. We have a few really nice parks but no sculptures like that in them. I can't get over how nice and green everything is in your part of the world. Still yellow grass here and no leaves on the trees. With all the rain we're getting the last couple of days, the grass should start to turn green soon...I hope! lol xoxo
ReplyDeleteAnni, these are fun and wonderful statues. Love the closeup one of the boy crossing the fountain. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of water shots. Looks like a fun place to visit as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit to my flooded field.
Beautiful collection of shots. The sculptures are great.
ReplyDeleteThe sculptures are nice! I love the flowers too! Nice set Anni!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Watery Wed. Thanks!
Hi Anni,
ReplyDeleteI'm so late...today is B's b-day so I've been doing b-day stuff. Tonight we have ice cream cake...yummy.

Your photos are quite lovely, and everything does indeed look spic and span.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day, Boonie
That first pink flower is oleander ? In Singapore we have a story about it. The poison will kill an adult. If you haven't heard about it, I will tell you next time.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! What a beautiful place! And you, of course, got AMAZING shots! :)
ReplyDeleteWW: Signs of Spring...Finally!
Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSeems very peaceful to go for a walk. Love the statues too!

Have a nice and happy day****
Someone had a great idea to create such a fun group of statues. This is a beautiful setting, thanks for sharing Anni.
