I read where animals about began with the sculptured cows in Berlin. Also read your comment about the horse running down the street, LOL, and, again, great fun to read.

You have reminded me of another story of when I lived in Arkansas. I worked at a real estate office on the main street and was in the broker's office talking to him and I heard a horse galloping and all of a sudden I saw a race horse galloping down main street. I just stood staring because I couldn't believe my eyes. then everyone in the offices came running to see the horse. Apparently a race horse had escaped from his jockey from the Oaklawn race track right down the street and it was galloping down the street without a rider. It was eventually caught, but sometimes when you see something incongruous in front of your eyes it takes a minute or two to believe it.<br /><br />I was just thinking there must be some famous artist who does paintings like this - your pants flying by would be a great painting.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-15407497434809802432010-03-29T06:56:55.354-04:002010-03-29T06:56:55.354-04:00Ha, your white unicorn reminded me of my flying tr...Ha, your white unicorn reminded me of my flying trousers! We were at a friend's place on a very windy day. The house was on a hill in Dunedin. I looked out the window in the afternoon and saw a pair of men's trousers flying past! The funny thing was that no one would believe me. We all were drinking a little whiskey at the time and my friends put it down to the perils of strong drink! But it really was a pair of trousers!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-23040629284541520332010-03-28T23:09:56.210-04:002010-03-28T23:09:56.210-04:00Hi Patti, thanks, I figured you'd enjoy the ho...Hi Patti, thanks, I figured you'd enjoy the horses having lived near Ocala.<br /><br />Hi Mary, thanks, middle of next week we move in, I'll post about that.<br /><br />Hi Trish, thanks, glad you liked the story and the unicorn.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-46845417067833201202010-03-28T23:01:36.180-04:002010-03-28T23:01:36.180-04:00Thanks Linda..made me smile..such colourful horses...Thanks Linda..made me smile..such colourful horses. ;)and like the unicorn.<br />T.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14380977275248693050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-18246846681506056422010-03-28T22:38:49.729-04:002010-03-28T22:38:49.729-04:00Cool story...well is it offical yet living in Flor...Cool story...well is it offical yet living in Florida?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-6348882890861717572010-03-28T10:37:48.581-04:002010-03-28T10:37:48.581-04:00Loved your unicorn story and glad you solved the m...Loved your unicorn story and glad you solved the mystery.

I know animals are overdone, but anything that can bring attention to art and the artists in the public's eye I think is important.<br /><br />Hi Cindy, thanks, yes perhaps the animals are a bit overdone, but still it keeps art in the public eye and for many it may be the only time or place they think or see it which is a good thing. Not only that but the animals are brought into the spotlight too. <br /><br />I hope I will be lucky because of the white unicorn, I truly have been in my life so far, thanks.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-52315476775314482872010-03-27T20:33:07.682-04:002010-03-27T20:33:07.682-04:00In Anchorage we have the Wild Salmon on Parade and...In Anchorage we have the Wild Salmon on Parade and for the Fur Rondy we had Sled Dogs. I think now all the art animals might be getting to be a bit much(?) Did it all start with the Pike Place Pigs in Seattle, or the Cow Parade in Missouri?? Kind of like the craze over rubber bracelets -who would have thunk it?!<br /><br />Linda -I think you did see a white Unicorn :o) and now you will forever be lucky!cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-45897123099913125632010-03-27T20:01:50.098-04:002010-03-27T20:01:50.098-04:00i knew it wasn't a unicorn, i just knew it. we...i knew it wasn't a unicorn, i just knew it. we have lifesize horses all over town... you know, the kentucky derby. when they suggested it, i thought it was a good idea but the companies that bid on the horses ended up having a say in the way they were painted and now there's a bunch that are just advertisements in the shape of a horse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-7221057070492992382010-03-27T18:37:11.763-04:002010-03-27T18:37:11.763-04:00I like the painted horses!

They placed them around the island in various places and the tourists check them off on a map as they visit the sites. By taking the completed map to the bureau, they received a prize.<br />Love that Unicorn!Mr. Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696214535601007261noreply@blogger.com
