The Zoo

Little Lake City Colorado is way too small to have a real zoo. So a local home grown artist decided to redemy this.

                                and opened a wildlife art zoo in her very large backyard.

She has painted over 200 animals on wooden cutouts, most of these life sized and a smattering of stones with the likeness of animals in the forest.

Okay a few of them may be extinct.

Children are given a sheet of paper with a list of animals they need to find and check off.  If you complete the list...you get a lollipop.

I like that she has the animals in groups.

It have discovered that it is a great way to entertain your younger guests, although a group of my college aged visitors had a ball here. Karen, the lady that created all of this also has rock painting classes on the grounds,

a fun little putt putt golf course,

and a  challenging croquet course..that my Granddaughter Hannah enjoyed. 

Of course my favorite is the only live animals running about...as I mentioned in the last post...the very entertaining Marmots.....this one posed for me ever so nicely.
