Stealing History: This Really Peeves Me

 I do not like it when people steal plaques and such, thinking their need to melt down some bronze for cash is greater than the publics need to know or remember or enjoy.

This is at Miller Landing Park

  These are history thieves and this type of crime costs way too much.  Penalties should be increased for this.

Lewis and Clark Artistic Memorial at Miller Landing Park

 This art work was completed by John Howard Thein and John Mossman in 2004.  I found it very interesting as it depicted historical episodes.

Avian Forest Artwork, Bellevue

 I drove past a strange art object of a bird.  It advertised itself as Avian Forest and is on Bellevue Blvd. between Fontanelle Forest and Camp Wakonda.

 The other art at the Conference Center is very symbolic and can trigger many emotions and thoughts.  It includes the tree of life, pioneers, and a representation of angels.  Paintings of Jesus
