Arrangements in Copper and Tin

More than just a bronze head of a cow poke...

or the signs near outhouse door...

The Benson Sculpture Park in Loveland has over 200 pieces of art


and many well known artists have their works on display.


Heralded as one of the finest outdoor juried exhibitions of three-dimensional artwork in the United States

the park features the work of sculptors from around the world.


It's a great place to have a picnic

and stroll around the grounds on a sunny afternoon.

It's pretty cool, but it's no Swetsville zoo!

Mantis vs Caterpillar
In October last year we visited Swetsville Zoo. Apparently the caterpillar eventually demolishes the mantis as the zoo must make way for the eventual 'progress' of the town of Timnath! They think the town will have a population increase of two orders of magnitude in the next 20 years! No more dinosaurs! No more Swetsville! If you haven't been, get there before they are all gone! (call first- they're in the phonebook)
