ZimSculpt # 4

Here are more of the ZimSculpt sculptures. Églantine dropped by on Tuesday to take more photos and then the two of us went back on Wednesday and I took more photos. Since I first visited, last Friday, there have been a lot more sculptures placed about the gardens and many of them have been waxed and polished to a high shine that reflects the gardens around them.

Found on Clover

During our dog walk through the fields yesterday we noticed a bit of strange colour on a red clover.



A closer look showed us this tiny caterpillar half covered in plant material.



I have yet to find time to look through my caterpillar book for a name but, meanwhile, here is another view. I'll add the name, if I can find it later.

ZimSculpt # 3

Three more Zimbabwean sculptures . . .



This is the only one shown today that is already set up.



This bird is waiting for its stand.



I assume this mother and child will be standing, but I think it looks good lying down too.

Backyard Growth

Just a quick diversion from the neat sculptures . . .



Looking from a distance over our asparagus and rhubarb gardens, one can see towering sunflower plants with more and more blooms.



Looking closer, through a foggy camera lens, one can see that we have tomatoes too. (The air was full of humidity and mosquitoes this morning so I did not spend too much time outside. After a very quick dog walk, and time for two photos, I escaped to the safety of the house.)



Églantine stopped for a quick close up of one of the sunflower blooms and sunflower pollen on sunflower leaves.
