The sculpture says it all.
I love the movement captured here. Works of art appear and disappear all the time at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town. I am very happy that this one has reappeared.
Sculpture by Dylan Lewis: worked in clay and cast in bronze.

Wow! That is wonderful. Why do they disappear? Do people steal them?

haha No – I think the art work is changed around, or maybe goes on display somewhere else for a while. π
BTW I wanted to ask you – do you know if there is something going on with the Notifications – in the little bell thing top right of my WP reader? Maybe it’s just me – but when someone new “likes” a post, it keeps showing the first few “likes” and not the new one – so I have to go to my post to see the new “like”. It started doing this about 2 days ago.
I’d appreciate any input on this. It’s quite possible that I have done something stupid! I did de-activate my snow feature, and from other blogs I visit, because my internet is just too slow with it on.
Thanks Rachel π

The way Likes are displayed in the notifications list has just changed but you should still be able to see all the likes there. What you can do is click on the bell icon and then click on the first like you got for that post. When you do that, a list of all the people who have liked the post should appear.

I agree – beautifully portrayed. The art work is moved around, changed etc, I suppose to keep it interesting. A quick look at the link I gave will give you more of an idea of the beautiful gardens π

Yes, I remember your lovely photos π Looks a lovely place to go. There are lots of free places here, but to see monkeys, I have to pay also – which I don’t mind, as it is a bird sanctuary (where the guinea-pigs are). π
