The James Boys December 1, 2012 at 1:37 pm

This morning I spent it with the James boys at Kit Carson Park.  Which by the way is a new favorite place of mine!  Thank you Matt for suggesting it!  Tucked away in the back, Kit Carson park has an awesome sculpture garden called Queen Califia’s Magical Circle Garden.  This garden was created by the late, internationally famous Niki de Saint Phalle.  It is one of the four large-scale sculptural environments designed and built by the artist and her studio collaborators and the only one located in the United States.  Niki de Saint Phalle chose the mythical Queen Califia as her subject.  Califia is an Amazon warrior and has been depicted as the Spirit of California.  She often figures in the myth of California’s origin, symbolizing an untamed and bountiful land prior to European settlement.  This garden is so whimsical and nothing short of fantastic.  I felt like I stepped into Alice’s Wonderland.  With that said, here are a few of my favorite pictures from today that were in the sculpture garden and in Kit Carson Park.  

 

Their Dad calls the twin boys “Search and Destroy.”  I LOVE it and I think he needs to make T-shirts for them that say that!  Thankfully, they were not on a search and destroy mission during the photoshoot.  They were great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The boys played a little frisbee golf during the photoshoot, so of course we had to include one of the pictures from that!

 

And last but not least, I snagged an artsy self portrait of myself! ;o)  I just happened to pop up in the reflection of the mirror and I couldn’t resist!  Love all the rain drops on the glass and colors!
