June 03: Botanic Gardens: Part 4 (Spirit Guides art installation)
Part 4 of 4 of the Denver Botanic Gardens!
Each year or so, the gardens do some sort of art installation. Generally it's something sculptural. A few years ago, it was all glass Chihuly sculptures, a couple years after that it was an artist who made driftwood horse sculptures (though I'm not sure they were actually driftwood or pieces cast to look like driftwood...)
This year, the installation is called "Spirit Guides," which are a series of hybrid animal sculptures by Mexican artists Jacobo and María Ángeles.
They were cool!

"Coyote-Fish"
I think this one was my favorite, though I really liked a lot of them.


"Rabbit-Deer"
And of course this one is my other favorite, because it's basically a jackalope. :)


"Armadillo-Insect"


"Jaguar-Eagle"


"Deer-Butterfly"


"Camel-Eagle"


"Monkey-Iguana"


And this one is just "Crane"

So we also got to see An Art! I do love the vibrant colors, and of course think the fantasy animal hybrids are cool as hell.

(That one is my favorite, too. I also love it because that's an exact position that Bella does. She very often will stretch her head up to look behind her at one of us, and it's very funny.)

The deer-butterfly is lovely. It looks so ethereal and light!
