Some Fun Rhino

Here are 5 rhino I discovered that I thought were rather fun!
The ladybug

The Racer - at the Racecourse - where else?

The Bulk.

If you like ice cream,then this Banana Rhino Split would appeal.

Splodge was definitely a cause of merriment for my family, who thought he was a great find at the zoo.

The Rhino King and a Few other delightful ones

The King of Rock he may be, but is this the King of Rhino?
He was number 1 on the list of 62 Rhino to find but he was not my favourite.

This one, Rodney, was my friend Rod's favourite Rhino. I wonder why?

Blossom was one of my favourite ones,she is so intricately designed and shows all 4 seasons. Clever and beautiful.

The Wallower really made me smile. Imagine, a rhino in a pink polka dot bikini!

Fleur is really beautiful. I really really like her. Maybe it is because she is pink?

She might well just be my favourite.

Not All Rhino Are What They Seem

Last weekend I wandered along the river and found these beauties:
Charity




On the way, I wandered through the park and discovered that there was more to this white rhino than it had seemed, when I had first spotted him on my first safari walk.

Because, on meeting him face to face, it became obvious to me that he was not just a white rhino

but also a black rhino! Very clever. 2 for the price of one. I love a good bargain, don't you?

The Rhino Hunt Begins

I went for a loooong walk earlier this week in search of a few of the 62 rhino that landed in our city on Monday and the quest to find the 116 mini rhino that arrived with them.
I have found about 18 large rhino this week and 1 mini rhino.
Rhino Mania is around my city until September as part of our summer festival and is called Wild in Art.
The larger rhino's seem to be sponsored by local businesses and done by artists and the mini ones are done by primary school children in the area.

A few months ago, we had a small plain white one arrive that I signed for when it was delivered, complete with a compiled welcome pack containing rhino art ideas, instructions and information on rhino's in the wild where I work. It was quickly donned it in a cowboy hat and blanket and it stood in our entrance way for weeks to say hello to. He was then duly painted and varnished before being collected to join all the other rhino to appear this week in and around the city.
Somewhere.
Waiting to be discovered and hunted.
I decided to wander and meander, to enjoy the discovery and surprise and to just happen upon a few, rather than download the map of where they all are.
I will gradually begin to post the rhino for you to see and enjoy, as I discover and photograph them.
The one I spotted whilst driving on Monday Morning on my way to work:

After spotting the first on the roundabout on Monday morning, this White rhino was my first walking discovery in my local park on my Rhino Hunt. I think he is very grand.

Rhino clock is outside tourist information. I love these colours and the clock on his back looks cool.

Romana Rhino was proudly, perhaps ceremoniously, stood in the amphitheatre. The amphitheatre wall is due to be painted by a muralist to give the illusion of the finished amphitheatre.

I found this one in the Roman Garden.

More to show soon.

Shimelle's new class

I am joining in with this new online class, as recommended by my friend Rachel over at my slightly crazy world. Rachel has done a few before and she raves about it. She is also very talented so I thought I too can learn and would enjoy it a lot.It is a class run by Shimelle. check it out here. It started on Monday but I didn't seem to have had the prompt. Presumably a technical glitch. I got it last night! Yippee. Meanwhile, I have been going on a bit of tour.
These have appeared all over our city. Overnight it seems.
This was the first one I spotted on Monday morning.

The rhino hunt has begun.
