Teddy In Spring

One of my favourite sculptures in the city is Teddy who lives on the grounds of a large home in the Wychwood Park neighbourhood. I took this pic at the beginning of May when the daffodils were out and you can see a few more shots of him if you click the McEwen label below and also see some other pieces by the artist John McEwen. Teddy's colours seem to be developing nicely through the years.

My Dad turns 99 today! Happy Birthday to him.
