Picture 5/18: Litter Critter

May 18
(year 6, picture 138)

I was at Nelson Park this morning -- together with the rest of the Beautify Decatur Coalition gang -- for the filling and erection of our first "Litter Critter" sculpture:


Handcrafted by Jim Swaim of South Carolina and delivered to Illinois by Jim himself.  And what better animal to choose than the Illinois state animal, the white-tailed deer.

I'll betcha we loaded more than 600 cans, jugs, bottles, etc. into the deer.  Plus a few unique things, like a hose and a couple hubcaps.


Yet another very cool piece of art of which Decatur can be very proud.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt
