    Geese

    Sculpture

    The sculpture, Spirit of Nebraska’s Wilderness, consists of 67 bronze and stainless steel works by Kent Ullberg, of Corpus Christi, Texas. The sculpture occupies four corners of the 16th and Dodge intersection as well as works on 15th Street. This wildlife monument includes 3 bulls standing at 8′ and weighing nearly 1,400 pounds, several yearling bulls, and 2 cows with their calves, as well as a large water feature with 8′ Canada Geese in bronze taking flight. As the geese fly across the street they are attached to 18′ bronze trees, a traffic signal, the corner of a building, a light post, 2 other poles, and culminate with several stainless steel geese suspended within the glass atrium of the Bank’s headquarters. Each of these works has been strategically placed to engage visitors, particularly children, as they pass. This image was taken while taking the G12 for a walk around the sculpture.

    I met this beautiful woman while on a walk around the Loveland Benson Sculpture Park. I started up a conversation with her but found her to be a little on the quiet side, possibly some shyness. I loved the way the wind blew through her hair and the intensity in her eyes. Don’t think she is my Sugar-mama but I’m always open to new relationships. Hope everyone has a wonderful Aprils Fools Day.

    I have posted images taken from the park previously so some of the sculptures you’ve already seen. The park is located on the north side of Lake Loveland and showcases, at the present time, 131 sculptures. You can follow the walking path and meander through the sculptures. If you feel a bit tired you can relax on the many benches along the pathway There are a couple of ponds in the park where youngsters can try their luck at fishing, and a gazebo with enough room to seat 50 people.

    Sculpture Park

    Loveland has a sculpture park called Benson Park that has 130 pieces on display. Since it is a few blocks from my sisters house, I stopped by and walked among the sculptures one morning on my way to the coffee shop. I wanted to try and show the  large quantity of sculptures but nothing seemed to capture that. So I settled on this bronze lady with her hat on and not much of anything else.

    A couple of days after the above image I awoke to overcast skies and a light fog. Immediately my mind went to the sculpture park so I spent some time wandering around looking for more images.
