The Einstein Project: Spurs the Turtle

Here is a head on look at Spurs. Look at the detail on his face and legs ... impressive. Spurs was created by Lynda Secor and sponsored by Bank Mutual. Thanks to all involved for the effort.

The Einstein Project: Spurs the Turtle

Another of the turtles from the Einstein Project. Based on his camouflage I walked right by this one without noticing it at first.

The Einstein Project: Patches the Turtle

This is the other side of Patches ... what can I say, he was pretty slow. This piece of art was produced by Sara Gerondale and sponsored by Chestnut Gallery and Gifts. Once again, thanks to you both.

The Einstein Project: Patches the Turtle

This is the first picture you'll see of Patches ... another of the turtles produced by the Einstein Project. I'll tell you more about this turtle tomorrow, but for now I'll tell you why I liked this one. It's a bit nostalgic, but it reminds me of the kind of quilts my favorite aunt and my grandmother used to make

The Einstein Project: Turtle Island

Another of the brilliant turtles around town from the Einstein Project.

According to the Einstein Project site the painting symbolizes the Oneida creation story. Both of the painters are creators themselves ... one a children's book author and illustrator and the other barely more than a child at age 13. Thank you both for your work.

This one was painted by Stephanie Stevens and Jessica House and sponsored by the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin. They are the biggest local indian tribe and run the casinos in town and by the airport.

One Last Wildlife Photo

before I switch to more building minded photos.

Tom, got this photo of a turtle near his home. They walk thru his yard to get to the nearby swamp. Sometimes he even helps them.
