Monument Au Fantome (Monument to the Phantom) was made by Jean Dubuffet between 1969-1971. |

gorgeous park, your momma should take picturs for a living. It reminds us of a park in NYC near the new world trade center but yours is nicer
ReplyDeleteurban hounds
What a dream that would be one day! You have no idea how badly I want to go to NYC!!
DeleteThat park is so pawsome! Thanks for the great pictures and tour!
ReplyDeleteKeep on wagging,
Tootsie
Anytime Tootsie! :)Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteYou always post the best picture last :) hmmm not sure about that park...bit to modern for our liking...to manicured and neat. We think that heart thing is called "we love to poop" it does look like a big heart shaped poop :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I like that and it is somewhat near the dog area :)
DeleteAnother great post full of awesome pictures!! Max, your mom has a great eye for pictures. Can't wait to hear what your next great adventure is. You make it so we out in the blog world feel like we were along for the ride.
ReplyDeleteAw, what a wonderful compliment - thank you!!
Deletehaha what's next, Ma? You are brilliant, Max. Thanks for inviting me in this fabulous Park. I never thought that your city has such a lot of green places... oh and what was in those bushes ? A squirrel? Or a Mole?
ReplyDelete...or a treasure?
Easy we have to go out hunting for places but Houston has lots of green just not in Ma's pockets! Ha..the mysterious thing in the bushes..and old ice cream cone wrapper!
DeleteWe love your outdoor art. Everything looks fabulous and sunny. We have been out in the Sun today as it at least warm now. Yesterday it was really cold. Have a terrific Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
I'll take some of your cold...this weekend is supposed to get in the high 90's (F)...yuck! You have a great today too!
DeleteLooks like an awesome park! The plant looks like a bottle brush! :P You know, out of all the major cities in Texas, I can say that I've never really been to Houston. Looks like a pretty interesting place though!
ReplyDeleteHa, I knew you were my "go to" on the bottle brush :) - thank you! What do you think is the best Texas place you have been? I really like Austin a lot but hear jobs are hard to come by :(
DeleteWow, that looks so awesome. I love all the colors, the water features, and the art. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun little park in the city and in the winter they have ice skating for a short time I hear.
DeleteAnother thought...would you like to link this post to the Travel the blogville world bloghop on my blog? It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteSure - let me try to figure it out real quick - thanks!
DeleteOk, I figured it out rather painlessly for a change! Wow...I feel smart today...normally those kinds of thing hurt my head to figure out...think I might FINALLY be learning :) yea!
DeleteOh that looks like a VERY neato place to discover all kinds of things Max! And you even met a new friend - that's pawsome!
ReplyDeleteKitty Hugs, Sammy
We didn't see any kitty place though...bummer huh Sammy?!
Deletethat park is beautiful! Lucky you!
ReplyDeletestella rose
It really is a nice park I must say!
DeleteThat is a wonderful park! I love all the outdoor art installations!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see even more art and water stuff there! :)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous park. There are so many lovely things to see. Love the bright coloured block and the fountains are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDip Bridge and Elliot x
There is actually 3 of the colored block installations and I like them too - makes it more cheerful :)
DeleteThat is a GREAT park! I love all the water features and plantings. Is that a manmade lake and can you swim in it? Very cool, maybe even worth all them bucks!
ReplyDeleteNaw, made made and shallow but better than nothin' and I know at least $54 million was donation money but not sure about the rest....but it didn't come from this motley crew cuz we are outide of the city limits so no city tax for me...it's the one thing I got lucky on with regard to taxes :)
DeleteLooks like a great place to visit. Pawsome that they have the dog walking area!
ReplyDeleteMax for sure prefered the park grass but at least he could run around leashless for a while there :)
DeleteMax, you sure got some interesting place to go see!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Won't be able to visit any of them for a long time now that the Houston Heat is on...time for a/c and indoor fun!
DeleteLooks like a super great place! I would have been in the water with the kids, though!
ReplyDeleteWe did take a quick run through the water when we were leaving and it felt wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great park! Max, you and your human never cease to amaze me with where you two go together. $125mil well spent. That's a beautiful park!
ReplyDeleteI can't get over all these fab parks you go to, Max! The art is great. Boy, we just go to the same ol', same ol' beach all the time!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great place to spend the weekend! I would love to try to kayak and go under the fountain :D
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Max and every person enjoyed their stay there. Happy weekend :)
