Don's Blog Totem Poles 8-4-19

One of our favorite adventures is to drive  the back roads in search of what shows up.

We were on a back road near the southern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park when

Jan said, "Stop", which I did. she had found an amazing  carved statue. There was a green hatted gnome with beads. As a Gnome Meister I had to get closer. It was a wonderful

playful carved tree and was accompanied by many others - a spectacular field of totem poles. This gnome was standing on a toadstool and is holding daffodils with Kris Kringel lurking in the background.

                   

Nearby was a winged bird which defies description.

                    

Further to the left was a yellow bird on a toadstool  atop a brown totem with red lips.

Then Smoky the Bear with an owl on his head.

And then this totally original curled toadstool.

To the right and back from the original gnome totem was this whimsical curlicued snake with a

smiley face below a toad stool.

Other than knowing where these totems reside we know nothing about the artist. I had no permission to climb the wooded hill to the these images. I have no permission to show these images. There are plenty of trees around to add to and enlarge this field of treasures. 

Part of its charm is the mystery of not knowing.

Consider:  Miracles are out there for you to find but you have to be looking and having Jan's eagle eyes really helps.
