Show & Tell: Better off red
The kids were both in school but Roger and I had Veteran’s Day off. So we had a date in our city.
After lunch (which included acai sangria), we strolled over three of Denver’s bridges toward downtown. On the way, we found this:
Photo by Jeffrey Beall (his is better than mine).
National Velvet is by artist John McEnroe (not the tennis player, I presume). The sculpture was dedicated a year ago today.
Denver does like its primary colors, doesn’t it?
I have sudden urge to prepare kidney beans for dinner.
See what my classmates are showing and telling over at Mel’s Show & Tell.

Hey! I talked about red today, too! Kinda. You’ll see. http://thecasualperfectionist.com/2009/11/confessions-of-a-casual-perfectionist-day-18/ (Red is the fastest color.)

That’s a lot of red.
Funny, it kind of puts me off kidney beans…

Lucky you getting a daytime date with the hubby!

I just love art that makes me say “WTF is that supposed to be?”
[Reply]
I’m so gross. Due to my recent post, I saw it and thought something else entirely.

Ewwwwwww.
That grosses me out.

What a cool, happy, kidney-bean-sculpture-thingy
Thanks for sharing!
[Reply]
Hmm that is very…red and…we shall say interesting.
[Reply]
Acai Sangria? Hook me up!
That statue is odd to say the least. Municipal art is always interesting and ecclectic.

What an odd sculpture. Hey, I keep forgetting you live in Denver. I will be there at Christmas! What part do you live in?
Kids in school? A day off with your husband? Sounds like heaven…
I know that that time will come quickly enough, so I’m trying to enjoy Oscar at this age, but the thought of having a “date” like that…sigh.
[Reply]
That is a very strange looking sculpture. I’ve been staring at it for several minutes now, unable to pull my eyes away. Odd!
Hope you had a great day out with your hubby!
[Reply]
OMG…that thing gives the evil Bronco a run for its money in the WTF department. Maybe it looks better IRL?

I think I like it

I LOVE Denver, I graduated high school in Littleton… I miss it so much!

I feel the need to go get a giant pooper scooper. Hmm, I guess you need to see the sculpture in person.

Wow. I don’t really know what to say.
[Reply]
Well, that looks like something you DO NOT want in your body.
[Reply]
Wouldn’t it be cool if those were all water balloons and you were at a party with, say, a lot of 8-year old boys….or a few silly drunk adults! …it was the acai sangria!
[Reply]
That is a very interesting sculpture. I don’t quite know what to think!
[Reply]
Wow. I don’t really know what to say.
[Reply]
Hmm… I think I like it. But I couldn’t say why. (Other than I love red.) Really no idea what it’s supposed to be or represent though…

That is some weird art! Colorful…and kidney bean-like.
I’m glad you and hubby got some time to yourselves.

That’s really cool. It looks kind of like sausages to me.
