Canal mosaic

This mosaic is on a wall at a turnaround point on the canal ride in Bricktown. Devon is an Oklahoma energy company.

This fountain is in the heart of Bricktown, and shows a little more in the background some of the renovated buildings and the area. It really is a great destination and one of the best draws for OKC. Sonic has its corporate headquarters there, Toby Keith has his restaurant in Bricktown, and the Women's World Series of Softball is played there, also.

OK lawn ornament

This buckboard is at the end of the driveway of a house that is on the the border of OKC and Moore. This is about a block of houses that are not mansions, just large homes with large, beautifully kept lots, and a buckboard.

Beautiful gate

This wrought iron gate with the rose bush iron work is the most beautiful gate and fence I've ever seen. It's at the outside of a housing development between my house, on the south end of Moore (south of OKC) just a few miles from Norman, by the rural route. Norman is the home of the University of Oklahoma, the Sooners.

Bricktown Canal

This is what I think is the best part of the Brickyard - the canal system. You can see the yellow boats at the top of the picture. They run a circular route with a captain giving interesting facts about the area. It's not a short ride, it's nice and long and gives you a good feel for the area, and at the halfway point, where the turn around it, is the bronze sculpture that is at the top of this page, although there is much more to it. It is well worth the ride. I'll have more pictures of this area and parts of the canal ride, cause it's a great thing to see in OKC.

Fountain in Bricktown

This fountain is located in Bricktown, the former industrial area of downtown OKC that has been renovated beautifully and is a big tourist draw. The buildings have been left in their original red brick but have been taken over by restaurants, small shops, clubs and galleries. There is also a baseball field and a canal system with boat rides.

Working away

This web was actually a perfect circle as I ran to get my camera, but the activity of people around the web destroyed the bottom half, but the spider stayed put. This beautiful web was actually made in a doorway of a garage going to the backyard, obviously not one used a lot that day.
