  5. Thanks to everyone for leaving comments on today's post. Many of the small towns near my home have sculptures along their main streets. I've promised myself that I'll spend a sunny day with my camera, capturing them for future Saturday Snapshot posts. Won't that be fun?

  7. Judy, there are lots of interesting sculptures in downtown Auburn and in Puyallup. When we're driving by in our cars, the streets and sidewalks just zip by and we miss so much. You and I should take a walk through both towns on a sunny autumn day and take a closer look.
