REVISITING

 Revisiting previously posted images, around Maryland,
around my neighborhood, favorite places.

"Split-Rocker" by Jeff Koons, at Glenstone, Potomac, MD.
Created, and recreated annually with over 24,000 living flowers standing 37-ft tall.

Blowing in the wind, fun, lost.
From a visit at Sherwood Gardens, a privately managed and supported park, 
open to the public, renowned for over 50,000 tulips each Spring.
(posted originally April 2023)


What's behind the red door?  
Just walking, in my neighborhood.

Nipper.
The original.  Symbol and "mascot" for the RCA Company (1929) he sits atop the
Maryland Center for History and Culture a block from where I live.

Main entrance to the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Cathedral Street, Baltimore.

  6. Lovely photos. The first is a similar idea to one we saw near the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. It is hard to tell whether it is a cat or a dog, they call it Puppy, but I prefer to think it was a cat.

  7. Hello,
    The floral sculpture is beautiful. I have lived in the Baltimore area all my life and have never visited Sherwood Gardens, I should change that. Nipper is cute! Take care, have a wonderful week!

  11. Wow, what an amazing tour of favorite places around your area. We absolutely loved the Split Rocker topiary. It reminded me of Mainau, the garden island in Lake Konstanz, Germany. I'm a huge fan of topiaries. I don't think people comprehend how challenging it is to create such amazing slices of nature. And who doesn't love 'little Chipper?' Happy Monday.
