Kansas metal sculptures

The Coffe Cup collection was surrounded by a lot of metal. . .art?







What do you see?

Wish gas prices were still that low

We found this old station somewhere along a Colorado road, thought the pumps were really cool.

Roadside art

We find the oddest things driving down the road, lol.

The Shoe Tree ~ Sooc #38

Driving between Devil's Tower and Custer State Park we discovered this shoe tree at the side of the road. Not sure why it started but since finding it I have also found a couple of shoe fences. . .odd.

Some days you just want to hang it up, that's when you really need to keep going.

Weird Wisconsin

I see this pink elephant along I-39 every time we travel south a bit, but have never stopped to take a photo. He faces the interstate, but as you can see, we stopped behind him, so I still haven't got a front shot. *sigh* Can you see he's wearing glasses? And no, I haven't been drinking, I actually saw a pink elephant, wearing glasses.

UPDATE: You can see front shots of him along with a map of where he is here.

Cheese curds are very popular here in Wisconsin and we'd like them fried please. This truck just cracked me. I spotted him at the Neekoosa Giant Pumpkin Festival last month. And while I didn't eat curds there, I did find some yummy chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick.

They had a few big pumpkins. They all got weighed, I can't remember exactly what the winner weighed but I think it was around 1100 lbs! Last year's was over 1400 lbs!

Reverence (Burlington, Vermont)

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

On our way through Burlington (Vermont) I had to stop and see the Whale Tails. They can be seen from the Interstate but what’s the fun in that?

We walked right up to them.

I gave them a little hug.

Not sure if Dennis was trying to push them over or finding his Zen.

Reverence was created by Jim Sardonis from 36 tons of African black granite in 1989.

Anyone have a huge bottle of wine?

You know I’m attracted to big things, so when I saw this huge corkscrew (World’s Largest?) on the roadside, I made Dennis turn around while I grabbed the camera.

Roadside Attraction

Only in Wisconsin

Enjoying the Journey

We shot a wedding while we were in Missouri. It was a small, outdoor wedding and it rained like crazy right before, but we got lucky and the clouds cleared away just in time. Then in typical Missouri fashion it was hot and muggy. Above you see the father of the bride and the bride’s daughter.

After shooting Sara and Michael’s wedding (you can see more photos here) we enjoyed the drive back to my parents’. It was a good two hour drive but very scenic.

We found these miniature-people-house birdhouses in a Monett park. Trivia - My son Gage was born in Monett with the help of a midwife but when he was little he liked to tell people he was born in “the airplane park”, this is the same park.

If I were a bird I would want to live in this one. Although all of them have great details.

Stay away from these guys, they hurt bunches! I remember, as a child I scooped a wasp out of my swimming pool not knowing they could even sting when they’re dead. Ow!

We saw a lot of daisies but we also saw a bunch of these tiny versions. The blooms are about the size of a dime, maybe smaller.

We didn’t do much hiking because, well see that path towards the right side of the photo? Uh, yeah, I actually found a weed taller than me! These daisy mixes were about hip high.

But we did take some time to smell some flowers.

We kept seeing purple flowers along the ditches and at first we thought they were water irises but once we got close we saw they were Spiderwort. I just love the whimsy ways of that plant.

One place we stopped I kept hearing splashing in the water and finally got the courage to look. Apparently, even the cows thought it was a hot day.
