It’s so busy at the moment I keep forgetting to post things that I mean to, like this.

Every year the coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama Beach hosts an exhibition of fun and whimsy, contemplation and reflection, art in the open to open our minds.

I like to post the ones the kids were moved by, I am always fascinated by what sparks their interest.

It is a big walk with many many steps so Sabi chose to take the daddy train for most of the day.

The girls insisted I take a photo of this one for Eli, he was sick at home with Grandma and Granda (thankyou) and they thought a representation of a dead human pointing out to sea from the top of a ladder would cheer him up.

Sculptures Weee!!! Lilly was hilarious she couldn’t stop dashing from one to the other, only it was always the one across the field that caught her eye so she was forever traveling its entire length.

Both the girls and every other kid there loved this brick teepee thing, we had to cue for this photo. I found it slightly disturbing like its a cross between and kiln and… well…something rather private.  Sorry, guess my puerile brain wanted an outing too, it did make the constant supply of children popping out of it all day somewhat humorous though. 

Lillian’s absolute favourite for the day.

Lani loved the spider web one, you can hardly see it in the photo but they put so much effort into their scary spider faces I couldn’t not include it.

And this is what the sculpture park looked like when the rain came pelting down.

Always knew they were a work or art…sorry sooo corny I know, I imagine this is the caption under everyone’s version of this shot.

"look it’s red men playing Duck Duck Goose!"

These guys were actually really cool in the rain. The water slid straight down their shiny bald heads and gathered in the sharp grooves around their eyes only to burst over the bottom eye lid when enough droplets had gathered, streaming down the vivid red cheek just as if the stature was crying. And now I know that really crying statues are enthralling for the under tens.

I think this piece summed up the weather nicely.

This one summed up Lani nicely

someone shrunk Sabrina too ahhh!!!, no wait, sorry it’s just a really big screw.

And finally a turtle you can climb inside and make it’s head wiggle, super cool. Thankyou artist people you are amazing.

When ever I sit I scribble a dragon, it’s becoming quite an obsession. I’m constantly bugging poor Glenn with requests for his opinion on their anatomical structure.

I’m ashamed to say I even scribble over the kids drawings, this is Eli’s beautiful drawing of Cat in the Hat with Little Cat’s A and B and a dragon scrawled over the top, ooops.

and when I asked Glenn for his opinion on this one he said with all seriousness “No I don’t think any Dragon ever looked like that…….non that I know off went around with purple Dog Fishes stuck on their chests”
