Not technically great photographs, but there’s something I quite like about them.

Grounds for Sculpture – A bird
Not a sculpture, but a real bird. Anyone reading this blog will know by now that I struggle to get pictures of birds. It’s not that I’m not technically capable of taking the pictures. Rather it’s that I can’t find birds to take pictures of – except for Canada Geese and Mallards. Can it be that these are the only birds that like having their pictures taken?
I’m no expert, but I believe that this is a Grey Catbird:
“The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the “catbird” genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris), it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird.” (Wikipedia)

Grounds for Sculpture – Sculptures based on Impressionist Paintings
In addition to the version of Manet’s Olympia (See: Grounds for Sculpture – Arriving at the visitor’s center) a number of statues based on Impressionist paintings were scattered around the landscape. These are just a few of them.
