I went to the Anne Marie Sculpture Garden

As the title suggests, I did indeed go to the Anne Marie Sculpture Garden this morning and It was not what I origainally ecpected.
The air was brisk on that faihful Salomons Island Morning, the leaves were still damp from the morning dew. The Cardinals and Orioles were conducting a treetop concerto to the small ground squirrels below. Then I showed up in a Chevy Equinox and ruined that piece of nature.
The garden was not that much of a garden in the traditional sense, it felt like more of a park whose main focus was showing recycled scupture from the Smithsonian collection and other private contributors. Many of the pieces were tucked away in the trees like a large bronze stature of a bishop. Or others were placed out blantantly in the sunlight like the scupture that was three huge red poles or the fountain dedicated to fisherman. I especially liked the installation that was a large broadwlk that acended through the trees and had inspiring messaged etched into the boards. The childrens guide also had a fun scavanger hunt.
