A favourite hood ornament, the Flying Lady, graces the hood of a 1931 Cadillac La Salle. I enjoyed the annual car show last week despite the fact that it was once again very sunny and dusty. 🙂 Lots of amazing art and design to be seen, and photographed.

Here’s another image from John Zubick’s Scrap Metals where all the great sculptures are. This bird sits in a row of other birds beside Clarke Road. I don’t know who the artists are of this piece but it certainly has a lot of character.

A view of the top of one of the few outdoor items in my garden that stays out year-round. It provides interest in all seasons.

This is a surface detail of a "modern" sculpture in Victoria Park, erected in 1950 and "Dedicated to the cultural enjoyment of the citizens of London." It is a large silver-coloured piece with this graffiti-like finish etched into its surface. From an artistic point of view, it was ahead of its time. I will do some research to find out who the artist was.

This pensive looking girl is a cast cement, sculptural face found at one of the coolest stores around, Artefacts Salvage and Design in St. Jacobs.

This image is of The Trumpeter Swan Sculpture in the Midland, Ontario Harbour that I took a few days ago. Created by artist Ron Hunt and erected in 2001 by the Town of Midland, it honours North America’s largest waterfowl the Trumpeter Swan, considered an endangered species in the 1980s. Thanks to the efforts of the Wye Marsh, their population has been nurtured back to health.
