June 30, 2006 - Protecting art - aka “Gumby plays soccer”

« day before | today | day after » Protecting art

Also the art now has three signs around it saying “Look but do not touch” … The art is in Falls Park in downtown Greenville, SC.

PS: My wife calls this art Gumby and a reader (Lisi from Hong Kong) commented that it looked like a World Cup player ready to kick to ball, so I think the art should be named “Gumby plays soccer”. What do you think?

June 25, 2006 - World cup

« day before | today | day after » Greenville Drive pitcher In the Daily Photo blog community the World Cup is the hot subject. Since we (in the US) can not brag about soccer (sorry I mean football) then I will attempt to divert the conversation to baseball. This photo was taken at a recent Greenville Drive baseball game.
