Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
"Go team!" I think "Julia" by Keith Haring looks like a cheerleader with a little skirt. My daughter Lily thinks it looks like a shower head. What do you think?
Along with the usual campfires, beach and family fun I had last week — when I was home for our annual camping trip with my family in Western Michigan — I took time out to see some of the unique treasures in the area.
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is a gem! A world-class collection of gardens and art that took my breath away. Here are a few pictures of the multitudes …
Here's another one, that I don't know the name of … I think "Junkyard Dogs" fits, though.
I'd like to take this piece (titled "Mad Mom" by Tom Otterness) home.
I stopped by the Mad Hatter's tea party for a "succulent" treat.
Lovely, lovely Dale Chihuly's chandelier makes me want to go home and paint!
A section of the huge glass lighting fixture/sculpture by Dale Chihuly.
One of three figures made of letter forms by Jaume Plensa.
This Alexander Liberman piece titled "Aria" is like a song.
Wow…how cool. Love the topiary, love the Chihuly (as always) and the letter sculpture is so fabulous. Thanks for sharing this idyllic place…Elizabeth
