Things You Run Across On A Walk

Put a fork in it

With the weather finally warming I’m getting back into the habit of taking a good long walk each day through the neighborhoods surrounding my digs. I have to admit I got out of that habit during this past winter with family travels and other things on the agenda.

Occasionally I stumble across something new, or at least something I don’t remember. This wooden sculpture of a sausage skewered on a fork in a local dog park is one of those things. A clever bit of whimsy on a nice afternoon.

A large wooden sculpture carved from a tree trunk stands in the center of a gravel-covered dog park. The sculpture is shaped like a giant fork skewering a sausage. The base of the sculpture is a wide, flat tree stump. Behind the sculpture is a two-story brick building with several windows, and to the sides are lush green trees under a clear blue sky. A low stone wall and a paved path curve around the gravel area. A black chain-link fence separates the park from the building. Two tennis balls lie on the gravel to the left of the sculpture.

We can all use a bit more whimsy these days.

You can also find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above. This site does not use affilate links.
