A few lovely photos by Nancy Moe

Here's a few really wonderful photos by Nancy Moe.
Enjoy!







It's a good day to walk through the Rain Garden.
The Mosaic turned out just fine!
What a great crew of artists we had to work on this.
Thanks for visiting this blog. It's been a pleasure to keep the record.

Done. Finis. Complete. ..... for now.

Working long hours in the "hole" AND in the rain are Ann N. and Helen N.

They climbed out of the "hole" dirty and happy to get the fresh air.
 
Battle scars included backs.

 

But with the prayer flags, made by my quilter friend Caron Lage, flying
and with the encouragement of others....
 
....the job got done.


Can you find your fish?
Pastor Jays Nemo is in there.

My Charlotte Elizabeth the egret, will dance forever at the top of the run.

Ann and Sarah interpreted Greta McLain's designed panel.

Flowers and bugs and water life abound.

Many people come through the commons area every day.
It's pure pleasure to see them, say hello, stop and chat.
Here's Scott. He rides by several times daily
with his little dog, Jules.
It's been a very good run on the Rain Garden Mosaic.

STILL Working

 
Sandy and Ann working side-by-side.
The cleaning of the tiles is tough work
and takes a lot of time and "elbow grease"!


 And they still look happy to be here!
That's Helen up in the hole...the box...... I mean the cistern.
Who IS that working on the tiny details of Charlotte Elizabeth's panel?
 Oh! It's Helen S.
She is one amazing woman and we've had fun getting acquainted.
No rest for the weary.
Helen works endlessly and tirelessly on each panel.
Battle scars.
This is from the other day working on her tummy and raising on her arms.
Ouch!
 
See? Bob N really does work.
 Proof!
 Hi, Bob.
 
Yup. I'm there too.
It's been a good week in the Rain Garden.

Working


 We tried to hire contortionists for this part of the job but alas,
we had to become those bendy bodied people ourselves.
 Pam worked with diligence and does a fine job.
Look! She's enjoying it!!!
Others bend and twist to clean buckets and rags.
Sarah checks in with us almost daily between clients.
We really don't want her to damage her massage hands
so she doesn't get to grout and clean tiles.
- we need her after the install!

My buddy Sandy is our little perfectionist
and it's exactly what is needed in this grouting job.
This will be a testament to one of her many talents.
Isn't it beautiful?!!!!
 
And look there. To the left. On the bench. Yes! That's Bob N.
He's come to work and is helping immensely.
We try to remember to hydrate as often as possible.

Our workers get hungry after all the work being done.
Here's Helen N signing for the Pizza Luce.
Lucky us.
Thanks Vicki!
Waves.

More waves - and are those alligators?!!!
