At the treehouse at the Tulsa Botanic Garden there are several yarn bombs hidden away in the shadows.
Yarn Bombs are my favorite form of graffiti. It’s not vandalism and can be very colorful.
And if they get a little aged, sagging, or miscolored, a pair of scissors removes them.

Playing around with a double exposure app on my phone yielded this shadowy photo of a deck rail shadows and flowers.

Deep in the shadows of Tulsa’s Bales Park is an old, retired, stone water tank.
I was geocaching at a clinic’s gardens in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma when I came upon this sculpture. I thought, “interesting” and snapped the pic and moved on with my task.
I found what I was looking for and noticed the walkway circling the sculpture and saw roman numeral numbers, then the light went on in my head! The sculpture is a giant sundial and is keeping almost perfect time. Eureka. I love figuring out stuff like that.

The tempietto is the centerpiece of the garden at Philbrook Museum.
A former oil baron’s mansion that he gave to the city to Tulsa way back when.
The pond in front of the tempietto used to be the swimming pool for the residence. A changing room was underneath the tempietto

I’ve been riding my bicycle more these days. I try and start in the morning to beat the 100+F heat we have been having (and are going to have for the foreseeable future.) I only go about 15 miles or so. This fountain is my turnaround spot to head back. I don’t rest at the fountain; I rest in the shade of a tree.
Stay cool everybody, find some shade.

Shadowy cool in the lobby of the former Sun Pipeline Building in downtown Tulsa on a very hot day.
I was on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain the other day and came across something I had forgot about. A Human Sundial.
Here is what it looks like
And here is the instructions and the guy who put it together as an Eagle Scout Project.
So, I stepped on the July step, and sure enough, it gave the correct time. Corrected for daylight savings time of course. I remember discovering this years ago and I completely forgot about it. Nice to find stuff like this again.
Kudos to the Eagle Scouts of the World and their multitude of projects.

It’s been hot lately, 100 F or over several days in a row. We added an extra water bowl to the two bird baths plus a fountain that we already have and we get a steady stream of customers. We have a rabbit who hangs out underneath the bench most of the day from about 9 am to 4 pm and then disappears. At first I thought it was kind of sickly but it does appear robust so maybe its a doe that has some kits stashed nearby.
