Wandering Around the Yard

Leaving the rose garden area, I wandered around the yard to look at other sculptures. I came across a familiar fence cast, a corn row fence. Except in this case it was in painted in full color instead of all black. Some of the last ones are my favorites.

Rose Garden and Fountain

Here’s one more shot of the Pavilion before moving on to two rose garden areas with a fountain sandwiched in between. The head on top amused me.













Scattered Sculptures

Looking down from the railing there is an abstract sculpture of figure. I then took a walk around the yard to take shots of other sculptures. Again some are labeled and some are not.




Fred Borchet, Implement #11




Alfred Haberman, Untitled




Greg Elliott, Out of Chaos, Let Reason Prevail


Gordon Chandler, Gasparilla Bench


Anthony Robinson, Winged Figure

Mississippi River View

Standing at the railing I took some shots of tugboats and barges on the Mississippi River. You’ll notice the river is a ways down from the bluff. It’s a nice spot for a view.














River Bluff Pavilion

From the sculpture I walked over to the River Bluff Pavilion. There’s an observation area with a railing. A gazebo sits on a hill slightly above it.















Stair Sculpture

Since I did not see a plaque identifying this sculpture, I’m simply referring to it as the “Stair Sculpture.” I walked around the piece for some closer shots. There’s a cow skull at the top facing the Mississippi River.
