Fellow member, Diane Cardill, will fascinate you with her Rabbit snow sculpture installation. Images: "Rabbit Sculpture 1 by Diane Cardill" and "Rabbit Sculpture 2 by Diane Cardill". Enjoy! Below is what Diane wrote about her installation:
" I have attached a pic of my latest snow sculpture from the last thaw.  I try to take any opportunity to create public art in my yard for our community to enjoy.  Sometimes must be seen as strange, but residents young and older love passing by to see the latest installation.  Lovely that art can give a community a sense of belonging, start discussions and bring art into the suburban”.
