THEME DAY - STATUES

Well it's time once again for THEME DAY. But, that is secondary to the really big event of the day;THE KENTUCKY DERBY. So, I thought I would combine the two. The fellow pictured above has dreams about running in the big race. Unfortunately, he is a horse of a different color. He will have to be satisfied with smelling the roses instead of running for them. Why not gallop over and check out the other participants and their take on May's theme.Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

    There is a REALLY CUTE kids' book called Robert the Rose Horse. Check it out if your bookstore has it (probably a bit one would.)

    Good shot for 'statues'.

    This chap will have to "soften" himself a bit in order to really gallop!
    God bless you!

    Beautiful horse, look ready to start at least on the street and without a rider. Have a great weekend!

    A fine sculpture to represent the Kentucky Derby. Great to combine the two ideas - Theme Day and the race.

    Is this killing two birds with one stone? Great post or Theme Day.

    A brave and noble steed despite his 'handicap'.

    It's a pity, this horse could have been the next Triple Crown winner...

    How fun! And funny.

    Darn! I always forget the the theme days, and ironically, I've been thinking about doing a post or a series on statues.

    HAPPY MAY DAY!

    Brilliant combo of the two. Needless to say, we're not invited to a Derby party as we totally forgot about the event. We were at the dog walk!

    This is a great statue for theme day. I like the way it seems to be hiding.

    I am in jaw-dropping mode here. First, you found the perfect pick for a Double Crown and you are the winnner! Second, what the heck is that fancy-schmancy tack all about? Third, and this only proves what you've been depicting for quite some time in Ft. L.: It seems odd that an unassuming little abode (or so it appears) has such a monumental statue in the front yard. It would seem that almost every inch of Ft. Lauderdale is a tourist attraction.

    Thanks for the comment. Actually, the first statue is Lewis and Clark, an Indian and a Dog. I hadn't mentioned it :)

    Too bad you couldn't send a lil' bit of sunshine their way. I hope his mudder was a mudder!

    Well, he could do way worse than spend the day smelling roses.

    Fabulous choice for both theme day and Derby day! That horse looks like a better choice for someone's yard than my giant chicken statue.

    Very cute, Bill. I shoulda posted one of our Ocala horses, but it didn't come to mind. So I'm glad if I provided you with the couple of memory jerkers...or maybe that wasn't a good thing! ;-)

    hmmmm....

    Viewed from the rear, this statue would look like many of the denizens of Washington, D.C....

    This is after the fact, but isn't that Calvin Borel an amazing jockey? Bet he could ride this one, too.
