Friday Faces-Fun Sculptures

    Hi  everyone.  Happy Friday. Another week has flown by, and here in the US it’s the start to a long weekend. Memorial Day is a day to honor fallen soldiers, and often is a time to visit cemeteries to visit loved ones that have passed, even if they were not fallen soldiers. And unofficially, it is the start to the summer season.

   Sounds like the weather in my area will be cool and even a bit wet but definitely not feeling like summer. 

   Today I will be joining Nicole for Friday Face Off  with some  faces. I will also be joining Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break.

 

  Last week my local botanical garden (Bedrock Gardens) opened for the season. I always get a season pass, not only to help support them, but also so I can visit as much as I'd like between May and October. The other interesting thing is that they are part of the American Horticulture Society. If a garden belongs then you can visit any other member garden for free with your membership. When we visited Magnolia Gardens in South Carolina last month both my husband and I were able to get in for free, and just that entrance fee would have cost more than my membership to my local garden. I love that I'm already ahead of the game. 😏 But not as much as I love visiting my local garden. 👍

   One of the original founders of these gardens is  a woman named Jill Nooney. She is also an artist who makes some fun sculptures with found materials. She sees things in those bits and pieces I certainly don't. She has many of her pieces displayed  at the gardens. 

     These first 2 are some new sculptures in the garden. 

     There were also a few sculptures at the little shop area at the entrance to the gardens. Here's a few of the choices you could buy if you had a little extra cash.

   I really like this next one. (And it's probably how I looked when the bear visited my yard last week at 3 AM.)

   Too bad her sculptures, although not ridiculously expensive, were just a bit pricey from my present budget.  😏 Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday and start to your weekend.
