At the same art museum there is a beautiful courtyard. It almost seems out of place in my silly town. I was able to take pictures of the animals that surround the posts. The pool and fountain are all done in aqua tiles which I also love. It is a nice little place, I would like to move it to my backyard so that while I sew I could look out upon it... we all have to have a dream, don't we?
Proud duck 
Hoot the Owl
Nutty and Wacky the crazy brother squirrels.
Is it a woodpecker?? Or just a fanciful imagination bird?
Ahhhh, the tile....I love it with the curved edge, definitely a quilt inspiration.
A little pan boy playing a tune...
But wait...who is lurking in the shadows? I think that it is one of the Asian dragon lions from upstairs...Yikes!Happy Sunday!

you guys are as cute together now as you were when you were dating:)
Those animals are fabulous! The only similar thing we have here in Brisbane is the cloisters at the University but instead of whimsical animals we have gargoyles of long-serving and much respected academics! The animals remind my of the Ken Follet book I am reading at the moment about the building of a cathedral just before the English civil war - the Stephen and Matilda version of the 12th century - the master builder is thinking about carving his pillars and he decides that he is not going to follow tradition and carve the usual decorative scrolls, but instead carve a variety of leaves from the trees in the forest that surrounds the cathedral. I wonder what your mason was thinking when he or she chose those animals - why they were meaningful for her? Mmmm... Thanks for sharing the photos! :-)
I almost went this weekend. It is free every duck home game weekend. I couldn't get it together with my mom here, but plan to go the next free weekend.
