Imagine my delight when I happened on this sculpture on our June road trip from Southern Indiana to Orlando, Florida. “The One That Got Away” by Sherri Warner-Hunter greets motorists eastbound on Interstate 24 making a pit stop at a rest area near Chattanooga, Tenn.
I was so excited and a bit rushed by my family wanting to keep moving on down the highway that I made the mistake of getting my shadow on the plaque and the frog close-up. And the turtle you see in the background of the sculpture truly was “the one that got away!” No close-up to show. 😦
Photo of the Week series: Every Sunday in 2012 I will either share a photo from my archives or something new I just can’t wait to get feedback on for future art shows/exhibits.
Blogger participation: My hope is to receive enough input on each week’s photo to later post a Bloggers’ Choice of the Month and wrap up 2012 with a Bloggers’ Choice of the Year.

Love this set of photos… great…
I was thrilled to share them, Rob! Thanks for the compliment!
These remind me of Parque Guell by Gaude in Barcelona. I will need to find this rest stop some day. I think these are wonderful!
They truly are. Check out her website for other locations with her work.
Sheila, this is such a fun sculpture… I’m glad you captured them all.
Love the colour!!!
Thanks so much, Robyn. Appreciate the compliment!

You could have ended your trip right there. How on earth would you top that discovery?

Haven’t been through that part of the world in a while. Good to see art becoming a part of the landscape.
Agreed. Thanks for visiting again, Mel. 🙂
