liberty + rules
Let’s go ahead and call this folk art, because I’m not what else it might be.
The Statue of Liberty is made from a stump of one of the town trees that died; it was carved by a regionally-famous chainsaw carver.
I don’t hate it – in fact I really like repurposing the old metal tank to make sort of a retablo. But I am not a fan of the giant ten commandments over there in the background. But if you feel the need to go read them yourself, here’s Helpful Hint: there’s a spotlight on them so you don’t even have to race sundown with the short December days and all.
And, finally, here’s a Fun Fact: all of this has been assembled by the town’s mayor.

Moon, setting
Here’s another photo from our friends Darryl Birkenfeld and Joann Starr’s place, Casa La Entereza, with the summer solstice moon high in the morning sky.
If you’d like to know more about the house – which was designed by the Patient Spouse – go here.

Labyrinth
I am pretty sure this is the first time I’ve posted a photo of a labyrinth. You were wondering when I’d get around to it, weren’t you? This labyrinth is on our friends’ land.
Their place – Casa la Entereza – is a beautiful house/retreat center on the edge of a playa lake near the town of Nazareth, Texas. Please take a minute to follow the link and read about all the things they are doing.

PS – For some reason, my fingers refuse to believe “labyrinth” is spelled like that.
