Look at that! An advertisement made entirely out of fruit. That’s right. This sculpture was made out of peaches. Isn’t it cool looking?
What a shame if they wasted the peaches though. I just love peaches.
Have you seen the bean?

This weeks theme is Metal
I’ve posted photos of Chicago’s famous Cloud Gate sculpture -aka The Bean – on a few of our blogs, but I don’t think I’ve posted this photo.
The bean is a huge spherical metallic sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Depending upon where you are standing when you gaze at the bean you can see different aspects of the surrounding city reflected in it’s almost spotless surface.
What you can see reflected in The Bean in this photo is what I think was a place called the Millennium Theater. It’s a huge outdoor theater or band shell and it’s got a gorgeous design.

The zipper pond?
I only wish that I had a big enough property that I could create a cool landscaping design! Maybe not quite like the zipper pond that I’ve included above, but something interesting and unusual would be really interesting don’t you think?
We did landscape our yard when we first created our garden. We put in build up raised garden beds pretty much all around the perimeter of the garden. We used easy lock stones. We also created an oval that is attached to the garden beds on one side and it juts out to one side and acts as a partition between the patio and the back area of the garden. It helps to create a garden room.
Have you landscaped your property? Did you do anything interesting? I’d love to see some photos if you have landscaped.
Art imitates life?
Wordless Wednesday
Ok we’ve all seen new stories that show cars that have crashed into buildings or that have been carried by strong storm winds into trees or the top of buildings.
Some commercial buildings place cars or even airplanes in settings that make them look like they’ve crashed into the building … Well, now even home owners are beginning to do their own take on “car crashes into building” scenes.
I guess this is a new art form?
Perpetual Blue Jay

This weeks theme is Original
This summer my husband and I went to an outdoor art exhibit and the exhibit that I enjoyed the most was the one put on by a metal work artist.
This looks like a blue jay either guarding it’s nest or possibly landing or flying away from it’s nest. What do you think? I love that there’s actually eggs in the nest too.
All of the metal art work was made from recovered metal such as propane tanks and oil tanks.
