TwistedCrank -- when I was little I had bad dreams not about monster skulls but about clowns. The 20-foot-tall kind that might be just outside the bedroom curtains, looking in.
snakefoot -- after some trips, I'm surprised to find so many pictures of statues. The good ones seem expressive, centuries after their sculptor turned to dust.
This gentle face wants to say something, I think, about young men dying. She reigns over a museum of war.

Nice photos as usual Wes. If you are interested, the bathing bird is a White Throated Sparrow. Love the song of that bird. It is the ten o'clock bird on many a bird clock. :)

Thanks much! I have a couple, small bird ID foldouts now. Need to get a better book sometime soon, I guess. Added three bird feeders to the back yard, and have a bunch of "regulars" now, mostly various Sparrow's, some mourning Doves, Red Winged Blackbirds, and a billion goldfinches (they are Thistle crackheads). With an occasional special guest of a cardinal, a couple house (or maybe Purple?) Finches, and some other little guys that I haven't gotten a good look at. Will try to get some photos of them soon...

So... is it one of those Bozo the Clowns? Did you shoot it yourself?
No, that one didn't die for my sins. But some of his brethren might have done, it's their bad luck to be tasty.

kitch and culture funk like that is so great - there's some front yards near Joshua tree like that...
For sure it's sculpture and for sure there's a strong counter culture message but in an absurdist kinda way...
Consumerism factors in as well.
really good.
thanks.
