Ox Trot

Our community has started this really cool project to help raise money to keep art in school. What they are doing is making all these Ox and then business are sponsoring them and such. There are 30+ Ox in the community, everyone is really cool. Check them out CLICK HERE :) I am going to make it a goal to get a picture of my kids by everyone of them.

Here is one of my favs so far he is in-front of the Scuba Diving shop here in town. The sun was at a really bad angle so I think we will re-shoot this one but it will be neat to see them all.

This is so cool! We had pigs in Seattle. I'd like to see more of these.

Wow, he looks so cool! We had something like this around our area when we lived in KY, but ours were painted horses with jockeys on them (go figure). It was so neat to go around and see all the intricate paintings on them and how the different businesses fixed "their" horse and jockey up. The cow scuba diving just cracks me up!
