Rhinos on the Streets of Bedford

We've driven past this sweet pair of traffic watching rhinos lots of times but this time I stopped to take a picture. I've always wondered what the deal was, why rhinos in Bedford and still don't know although I did find out they are another of Mark Cline's creations! Remember him? I've shown you some of his work HERE

They are also listed on Roadside America . com ...have you ever used that site to find interestingly odd things nearby? We've found quite a bit of stuff in our area from that site!

What's that out there?....

Way out there....zoom in closer...

Well I'll be!....it's a ginormous octopus...on a lake!

We heard about this April Fools prank pulled by none other than local artist Mark Cline so we had to drive out and take a look for ourselves...it was such a pretty day so we rented a couple of boats to row around the lake and get closer to the sea lake monster...left camera on dry land though, just in case!

You can read the story HERE

and I've shown you a bit of his work in the past HERE & HERE

Rubbish Tuesday - Enchanted Castle

I think this is a giant tick who ate a man...maybe?

Enchanted Castle Studio in Natural Bridge

So just a teency bit down from the zoo, yesterday's elephant, we saw this! Me: "WHOA! Did you see that? We have to stop so I can take pictures"! Oh my gosh, an abandoned theme park! How super awesome! Ok, I was a bit scared to walk around because I'm thinking there must be tons of snakes around in there. If I was a snake, I would want to live there, what fun! So we didn't do too much walking around. But I did find THIS STORY about the place so maybe we can go back in the snake-free winter and see more! I would love to snoop on the other side of the fence.

Not long after we moved here, the boys wanted me to take them to the monster museum (mentioned in the link above) but it burned down before we got a chance. That's what I get for procrastinating. What a bummer though. All this guys hard work, up in flames. I've shown you some of his work before RIGHT HERE...

I'm wondering if the elephant is his work as well?
