Slice of Life: An Open Air Art Gallery

(This is a post for Slice of Life, a weekly writing activity hosted by Two Writing Teachers.)

Sunday was unseasonably warm, and so we took our kids and dog on a forced march through the woods and river near our house.

Someone had been up to their artistic tricks again, making sculptures out of found wood and rocks and objects washed downstream in the river.

I once used some of these community sculptures for a backdrop to a welcoming video to Making Learning Connected. But the city highway crews redid the bike path, and took away all of the sculptures. They have been “returned.”

A wander through our woods is like a walk through a fresh air art gallery. You never know what you will find.

Peace (in the found),

  1. That’s fabulous. It makes me want to take my children out into the woods to create one found art sculpture. I always love your slices. You share parts of your world that inspire me.

  2. We have big snow today, a snow day for all in school & many public places too. It’s too pretty to stay in, so I’ve been out already. Only snow sculptures to see this time, but wish I had seen a peek of something like from your open art museum, Kevin. Awesome to see, and I imagine that you also look for surprises. Glad you shared!
