It's probably never a good idea to encourage me!

Amphitheatre at a certain women's college located in western Massachusetts on a perfect May afternoon.

The shadows give it a magic sense of depth.

From Gareth Wonfor a distant cousin:-
An album of lovely hand tinted tourist prints that I will be scanning over the coming days. This album was very kindly given to me by a distant relative, Colin Wonfor.

I love the detail on this one just the shade in the Lichen.

This is nice just the stillness. These were done between the late 1890 - 1901, all the girls are long since gone, a shame.

This is nice just the stillness.

Now that I’m retired, working part time, I have the flexibility to schedule some photo time. I just have to actually DO IT! Great pics.

Yes, just do it! Shoot lots and ponder what you do and don't like in the results and why.

Great advice @fiddlefye and I did just that this week. Woke up, grabbed by Nikon D90 and tripod with zoom (Nikor AF 70-300), not a terribly expensive lens but something I bought to play around with. The contrast is not very good by the nature of the sculpture and its surroundings and the morning light. But it's a start! Thanks for the push.
Mustangs at Las Colinas is a bronze sculpture by Robert Glen, that decorates Williams Square in Las Colinas in Irving, Texas.

The sculpture commemorates the wild mustangs that were historically important inhabitants of much of Texas. It portrays a group at 1.5 times life size,[1] running through a watercourse, with fountains giving the effect of water splashed by the animals' hooves. The horses are intended to represent the drive, initiative and unfettered lifestyle that were fundamental to the state in its pioneer days.

The work was commissioned in 1976 and installed in 1984. SWA Group's design created a shallow watercourse extending 400 feet (130 m) from northeast to southwest across Williams Square, a gently sloping granite-paved open space about 300 feet (110 m) square. The plaza setting for the sculpture won a National Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects.[2]

A fox family has dug a 3 hole den in my front yard.

They vanish at the slightest sight, sound, or whiff of me, so I went out the back door and climbed onto my roof, where I was able to get a few shots of the little ones:
