Henery David Thoreau 1817-1862
sculptured by Janice Corkin Rudolf
of Concord, Ma
An American naturalist and essayist, poet, and philosopher.
He is best known for his book Walden a reflection of simple living in natural surroundings. That book is very relevant today as it was then.
This sculpture is in the park in Meredith NH. There are lots of new sculptures this year in the park and it made for a nice walk for husband and me while eating an ice cream to end the day Sunday.
Catching The Wind

If you enlarge the picture, you can see through the open part looks directly at the Native American sculpture on the island in front of it.

I did not get the information on this sculpture for some reason.
It is very appropriate as it is a loon on the banks of the Winnipesaukee.

This is just a small sample of the sculptures in this area.
It was a beautiful evening and there were boats everywhere!! Lined up waiting for docking space to go to one of the many restaurants within walking distance.
I love birch trees, and these were so lovely in the afternoon light.
Speaking of trees this one was heavy with Cormorants settling in for the evening. If you enlarge it, you can see there are birds all through this tree.
Last but far from least I met my sweet friend for dinner last night.
We celebrated my birthday with drinks and dinner and a bag of wonderful gifts. I am so very blessed!
We took at walk after, and we saw a mink with a fish in its mouth! The poor little critter was so surprised at all the people around but made it's get a way into the lake.

Have a wonderful Day!

Happy Birthday!
Sounds like you had a good time. Perfect evening.
Lovely sculptures, they are all favorites.
Thoreau is my 4th or 5th cousin remove a few times, sharing a grandmother. He helped my great great grandfather bring his family over to Concord from Ireland.
Hi Cathy, those sculptures are quite amazing. The Eye of the Beholder is my favourite and I went back twice just to look at it.
Happy Birthday 🎈🎈🎈

The sculptures made for an interesting walk while enjoying the ice cream, Cathy. Admittedly, I was waiting to see a final ine of yiu and your husband enjoying your treats.
The sculptures are very interesting and I, like others, like the Eye of the Beholder.
