On the beach at Waikiki we found this beautiful sculpture in a pond at the park where we attended an arts festival. Thanks for coming by, your visits are always appreciated. Have a great day. Anita

I am sorry that this weekend I didn't get to comment on all the photos. I took a weekend trip and when I got back there were plenty. Hopefully the photo's I took and am posting will somehow make up for it. Smile Steve

This is really fascinating - what a great sculpture! When I just saw the thumbnail and hadn't read the description I thought that was one huge dragonfly!

Ok...I read all the comments and had all the same reactions as were described, but leave it to me to wonder what the heck the depiction is of what he's supposed to be eating? That large, it could be just about anything!!!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
