Iron Mule

I have no idea if this sculpture is actually iron, but I loved the way it looked. The Mule has artwork along it's body and an arc of interesting object above it. I am sure it has something to do with the Veterinary school as it is one of several sculptures that sits on the lawn outside the school.

Breakfast table

As we were walking through the French Admin building at WSU admiring the architecture and artwork, I happened to look down and spotted this scene. I imagine someone was enjoying their breakfast and stepped away for a moment to get something. Upon closer look of the photo once I arrived home, I noticed that the open magazine is actually a research publication...pretty hefty reading, so perhaps a student or professor at the Vet School?

James Wilson Hall

WSU's James Wilson Hall was named for the Secretary of Agriculture who served from 1897 to 1913. The building has served as not only a horticultural and agricultural facility, but for a time as military barracks and a vocational training facility for soldiers.

Nothing but a shell

Outside the Museum of Art at WSU is another display...or rather this is just sitting upended on a patio. I am not sure if it was a past display, a future one, or if this is just where it belongs. Perhaps someone nose dived from a few stories up and it just stuck there! In any case, if you click the picture to enlarge it, you can catch a glimpse of the 'heads' that have been displayed and currently reside on the Museums' front webpage. The link is in a post below. :)

Recycled pipes

Outside the WSU Museum of Art are several pedestals with various works displayed. When we visited, it looked like garbage until I got a closer look and realized that these are different varieties of pipe...clay, pvc, copper, all bound with wire, and painted. Technically I don't suppose it could be called garbage anymore, and it certainly looks better as an art form than it would look at the local dump.

Museum of Art

Wazzu's Museum of Art had an interesting display out front when we visited last week. They change things up every couple months, so you never know what you might find. :) Tomorrow I will post up a photo of the most recent exhibition.

Heart for the arts

This rather interesting looking object is...well, it's interesting! A giant blue heart with a variety of objects embedded into it's surface. The WSU Museum of Art sits just to the left and has a number of unique exhibits outside which I will be sharing this week. If you click the photo, you will have an enlarged view of the heart. :)

Fierce rivalry

The Cougs played the Huskies today and whooped their puppy butts by 20 points, 68 to 48. Go Cougs!

This board announces all the upcoming events at Beasley Coliseum. On Mom's weekend, Huey Lewis and the News will be performing. I think I am showing my age. ;) hehe

Visit to the vet

Earlier this week we took our two kitties, Maggie and Pip in to the veterinarian to be spayed. When my hubby worked in Pullman, he had a lot of interaction with the local veterinarians and the vet school at WSU, so when it comes to our animals, we trust Dr Stone at Evergreen Veterinary Service...and we are fortunate that another friend of ours works for her as well, so our kitties were in the best of hands and seem to be recovering nicely. The photo is of the cover over the mailboxes...and who doesn't love Snoopy?

Theme Day: Best photo of 2008

Since I just joined City Daily Photo in October, I don't have many photos to pick from as best photo of 2008, so I chose this one taken of my daughter during the summer. It is my favorite photo of all those I have posted this year and was, in fact, the very first photo I posted to my blog. :)
