Saturday’s Critters – The Bison Herd at Lafortune Park

There is a bronze bison herd at Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. They added on to it a few months ago and I finally went over to see it.

Bison make for great sculptures because they look so powerful and they have this sense of movement even when they are standing still.

Sorry for the bad focus!

So these new additions look great and complement the others already there.

And everyone loves the “Red Dogs” the bison calves who play and cavort just like their real life counterparts do.

Exploring “The Herd” at Lafortune Park

I had some time so I went to check out the “The Herd” at Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. The county parks department commissioned an installation of a herd of bison at Lafortune Park. They had been there forever but wrapped up in plastic so I noticed that the plastic had been taken off so I went to check it out.

Here’s the little red dog or calf.

Here’s the dad. A huge old bull.

And the mom. As with all species the hardest working family member of all. I didn’t get very good photos. Taking photos of bronzes in full sun is some thing I need to work on.

So I sneaked off from the Herd and around the side of the little league ball parks.

And found a geocache. This is unique because it was actually 3D printed from a computer app. That takes geocaching up a notch from the recycled Bismati Rice plastic jars that I like to use.

And then I went by this pond on my wat back to the car. I can’t go by a fountain or pond without taking a photo. This one has a bit of a rainbow on the left side.
