Hmmm...Horseshoe Sled Chair

Continuing on my exploratory journey of this amazing property, I discovered this.... Sled Chair? Perhaps rocket propelled? With saddle bags for storage....   Can't imagine the horse shoes offer much comfort while seated but maybe you don't notice that if you get up enough speed.  Hmm. Definitely interesting!

Race car or grounded spaceship?

I happened upon a wild pasture filled with sculptures (and a boat in a tree - see yesterday's post) and photographed many of the whimsical and fun pieces. One of the site followers (thanks, Ellen!) posted an article that appeared in the AZ Daily Star about this veterinarian-turned-blacksmith. I had missed the article and if you'd like to read more about this interesting artist, click here.

Ready for the big flood ~

 

We did have some rain over the weekend but not quite enough to launch THIS boat! I was tempted to use this wacky image as one of the "Where is this?" contest entries. I doubt if even Ellen or Kathy would know where I saw this!

Guard pig?

The familiar javelina (actually a peccary, not a "pig") is usually an unwelcome visitor because he/she brings the entire family with them and eats the flowers and vines you have in your yard. But this metal sculpture standing guard (definitely life size) might even deter the herd. And what about that nearby cat? There was also a big metal lizard decorating the front but I couldn't capture all 3 in one shot. 

Car flirt ~

Yes, you CAN believe your eyes. This car is sporting enviably LONG LASHES. And they are not painted on - they are 3-D! WOW! What fun to dress your car up with glamorous lashes like these!

Spectacular Tucson Sunset + Double Rainbow (scroll down)!

This incredible rainbow sky show took less than 5 minutes to come and go! I was so lucky to be driving down Pantano Parkway near 22nd Street when the light was just right. This double rainbow was gorgeous!

Uh, is that the best you can do?

Seriously -- would you drink something called "Moose Drool"???  And how many ad agency creative brains were involved in selecting THAT name? Oh dear.
