Hi everyone. Happy Friday. I hope everyone had a great week or I should say a couple of weeks since I didn't join any Friday posts last week including Friday Lunch Break at Gillena's bog. My husband took a vacation from work and, if you haven't read any of my posts for a while, he and I drove up to the province of Quebec, Canada.
You might remember in my last couple of Friday posts I shared some statues from an art walk I'd taken at a local sculpture garden called Alnoba. You can link up to those 2 posts Art Walk Part 1 and Art Walk Part 2 if you're interested.
Today I'm back at Alnoba with some more sculptures. Today's sculptures are by Native American/ Apache artist Allan Houser. He was a favorite artist of the owner of Aloba. These first few sculptures are very classic and lovely pieces.

Good morning, I enjoyed these sculptures but I am not seeing the fish will come back and look again
Happy Friday hugs Kathy
These sculptures are very dramatic. I suppose that bird poop is a hazard for statues everywhere, but if our bird populations continue to decline, it’s going to be less of a problem. All the best - David
The statues are all facinating. I would so love to walk that trail! The 2nd one is my fave, but I love the abstracts, too. Hope you are yours are all well! Hugs, Valerie
...Erika, thanks for taking my on this art walk, someday I need to do it in person.
Glad I don´t have to decide which style of the statues I prefer. Both are wonderful.
Hope for more adventury-pics of your holiday and wishing you a great Friday, hugs
Interesting visit, indeed 👍🏼
Happy October my friend 😘🧡🍂🍁
Those face expressions are fascinating!
Love, love,love the statues! Thanks for sharing.
Those are quite the boots on that first statue!
Gorgeous photos!
OMGosh! This art touches my heart. There is so much emotion in all of them. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a wonderful weekend.
Fantastic statues. You visit some great places. (Sorry I haven't been by to comment in awhile.)
These are fabulous statues! And after you mentioned it, I did see the fish, but before that I didn't. All the statues are beautiful and the different styles are fascinating. Talking about Native Americans - I just finished a book about the tragic problem of murdered and missing indigenous women. This is an issue in the next county over from ours, so I was very interested in it. It is tragic that indigenous people, especially women and girls, are still seen as "lower people" by some.
Our community had an art walk in September. Loved it all.
Fantastic sculptures ~ what a great trip for you and thanks for great photos ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laugther and love in your days,

Wonderful sculptures. I saw the fish, too!
I love the bird poop. It's an important part of the sculpture now. Humans and their art are ephemeral and nature will always win.
I remember those beautiful sculptures from Alnoba; I’m so glad you’re sharing more! Allan Houser’s work is truly captivating, and I love how his pieces tell such rich stories. Those boots look fantastic—I can just imagine the craftsmanship and artistry that went into them!
Thanks for bringing us along on your art journey! Looking forward to seeing more from Alnoba!
Wishing you a fantastic weekend! I'd love for you to check out my new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/10/my-visit-to-hunterian-art-gallery-in.html
Alnoba's sculptures are beautiful, Erika. I really love the third one which makes me think of Indigenous peoples' reverence for nature and the Earth and what we need to learn from them.
Welcome home and wow those sculptures are amazing! Always love a good art walk!
At my age I will never visit America again so I do enjoy your posts and this was no exception. Love the statues, esecially the first ones but saying that i did like the latter ones also. Yes, I saw the fish. Well I think so, if `I am guessing right.
Hugs, neet xx
