I ventured out last Saturday on the Ross Garden Tour and, ever since, my thoughts wander back to this particular bunny, clearly titled “garden hare” in the guide book. It certainly possesses the proportions of a hare. Regardless, it’s garden juju is strong. Usually when I think of art in the garden my mind runs through [...]
