The Frost Line


I love it when we have a hard frost. The edges of our cut steel Kokopelli catch the frost and turn white, accentuating the outline of its simple, graphic shape.

This sculpture is a major focal point in our garden, perched right above the koi pond. I designed it and had it fabricated by a welder-friend as a birthday gift for Jim, many years ago. The rustic material and regional symbolism make it a perfect fit for our garden.

Nice, I remember those blankets of snow growing up in Denver, at least between chinooks! You might laugh at my comment about the "cold" morning here in the high 20's.

Thank you, Allison --- it was a cold one, too!

DD, we are actually in a warming trend right now, looking towards 60 degrees the next few days. Crazy Denver weather! Thanks for visiting!

Jocelyn, that's fabulous. The frosted edge gives it such projection.
A real fun piece of sculpture

Robert, a bit different than what you might see in GB, so glad you like it! Thanks...
