Saturday Snapshot
May 5, 2012
Our neighborhood is designed around a concept that’s popular in this part of the country. Houses are built on small lots and have front porches. To encourage a sense of community, there are sidewalks and pocket parks throughout the neighborhood. This is one of the statues in the largest park in the neighborhood, and it’s one I can relate to.
Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. It’s easy to participate – just post a picture that was taken by you, a friend, or a family member and add your link on Alyce’s site.

This is a lovely shot =)
I want that statue for my back yard! How perfect!
Kathy, I’ve seen housing communities such as yours. We have a Sun City here in our town – based on the same concept as the one in Arizona. We’re not quite old enough to live there, but I’m almost at the lower end of their scale. Anyway, I’m not saying you live in a Sun City community, but the small lots and park concept is similar.
I love this statue. That was me as a girl. You too?
How cool is that?!?!
Very cool!!
That is so cool! Might be a little startling if you happened upon it at night and didn’t expect it. Lol.
OMG i love it. So pretty! Great shot. I love the house in the background.
What a great shot! There’s several abandoned lots in my neighborhood. I wish my city would turn them into small parks.
Now that’s my kind of statue! I live in an older town but they have been creating scattered small parks. It does make the town look and feel nicer.
What a lovely place to live, and of course I love the statue. This was definitely me as a girl.
Gorgeous! I love that statue and the shrubs next to it too… makes me want to do a little yard decor of my own
I relate better to this statue than any I can remember. It seems so natural, and the setting works for me.
Lovely photo! Perfect choice for this meme!
I wish we had a statue like that somewhere near!
Here is my Saturday Snapshot post!
I do love the fabulous statue, one all of us bloggers would love I am sure.
I love that statue – I remember spending so many summer days in that exact position when I was a kid.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that statue. It’s like she’s secluded and in her own world. Haven’t seen anything like it.
That’s so cool! I like the idea of your neighborhood too- sounds like a cool place to live.
That is awesome!! I would totally put that in my own yard.

Oh, that’s my kind of neighborhood! Not the kind I live in, but one I’d love to live in. Great shot…enjoy!
I love that one! Do all the parks have statues?
What a cute statue! It almost looks real!
Love this. So inspiring – both in and of itself and that someone thought to put it in your park!
What a lovely joyous statue- I’d enjoy seeing that one every time I went for a walk, I bet you do too.
I love the idea of pocket parks (never heard that term before) and I ADORE that statue!
i am so envious! it sounds like you live in a community paradise
and the statue is so perfect for our line of hobby/job!
Love it
Love that statue. If only I could find one in a little bit smaller scale for my backyard!
What a lovely picture, I’ve spent many an hour doing that myself.
That’s great! Lovely statue.
I love this! It reminds me of some similar statues that are on the W&M campus in a “secret” spot.
how nice!
Wondering where I can get one for my garden!! Bet your neighborhood is lovely to walk through.
Oh that is a wonderful statue. And it sounds like a great way to encourage a sense of community.
Absolutely love it!
I love this and forget the park, I want this in my yard!
This is so awesome. She found a great hiding nook to read.
I love that statue!!
Love that. Would look good somewhere in my yard!
Wow that is beautiful. I wish we had statues like that in our parks.
That’s great!
