The Big Splash.. Dolphin love encore..



Another of the delightful dolphins around the city spreading awareness of child and adolescent mental health in the Big Splash WA event that I mentioned yesterday. The marvelous mosaic design on Dolphin Splash, leaping midway down the ornamental watercourse in the parterre gardens of the Bishops See behind St George's Square on the Terrace, was created by Perth based artist Di Parsons. It was a cloudy day with flashes of blue, more blue would have been appreciated to catch the sparkling glint in the dolphin's eye :) Happy weekend, take care and stay safe..

  6. I so enjoy our time together, G. Such wonderful places and scenes. That long water feature is like the one at the University Museum in Philadelphia where I often saw mummies and such when growing up.

    Hehe, I remember we wanted to catch a cat to get to Kings Park, got into a lille argument, I stomped off and suddenly stood in that beautiful garden! Helped getting rid of the argument, too :-)
