Though I live in northern Illinois, I am currently in Arizona for the holidays. A favorite place to visit in the Phoenix area is the Desert Botanical Gardens. On display right now is some amazing artwork by the artist, Philip Haas. Installed at the Gardens are four sculptures, each of which depict produce and flowers that are ready for picking during each of the four seasons. Lucky me! I can start my 2013 blogging efforts with a photograph of "Winter".
Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove the warm winter sculpture.
Your winter looks a lot warmer than my winter! Ha! What a beautiful art piece! I would love to go there someday!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my friend!
What a great, imaginative sculpture. Happy New Year Val!
ReplyDeleteSuch an unusual sculpture. Great start to the years challenge.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
Enjoy Arizona......Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteNeat sculpture--but if I found him in MY garden, I believe I'd leave the veggies for HIM! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that it has been five years. That is a fabulous sculpture.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot! I just got home from Phoenix. I wish I'd had a chance to see this.
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeleteI like this! Very colorful. Have a great day!

Ahhh..warm Winter weather...I can dream!
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly an intriguing take on a cornucopia. (I have to admit that cornucopii have always freaked me out a bit. Don't know why, but I think they're creepy.)
ReplyDeleteOne of the great thing about seeing these blogs in the challenge is being able to look at things around the world that I would not otherwise see. Thanks for showing me this.
ReplyDeleteAn unusual piece of art and very cool too. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThey look so real!! Great find. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Val! That is a great way to start of this year, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteCatching up, this is pretty fabulous as is the garden that I've not seen in too many years.
You sure put some miles on during the break!
