Walter Sisulu gardens - Bugged! December 2012

Last weekend Rob and I decided to head to the WS gardens to see their display of giant bugs made from recycled metal! (Jo loves all bugs that don't try feed off her or inject various playful venoms into her nervous system!)

Let's see what they had!

A giant Tetsy fly! Mind flying is the last thing this tin can is going to do! *sweat drop of relief*


 Imagine finding this ant in your sugar bowl?


 I feel this dragonfly looks a bit depressed. Wonder what's on his mind?


 This was my favourite of the all the mosquito giant statues. It just looks exactly like those horrid blood suckers! We felt that with 4 of these statues, as in real life, there were just too many mosquitoes!


 One praying mantis! This big it wouldn't feed on bugs so much as small dogs and children! Useful info the next time your family's bratty kids come for a visit...


The sting in this tail! 


I love that they put the giant spider on the kids climbing gym! This wee girl doesn't even know what's above her head! *shivers*

Then on to other things! There was a nifty concrete pipe way for kids! So of course I had to go exploring! Even just a bit of the way in and already it felt a bit creepy, like maybe something a bit fantastical was awaiting on just the other side of the tunnel! Fun to go in, twice as much to go out again!


We also saw someone's romantic nook, with a petal path strewn to the snugged away picnic! Don't you wish this was yours? Wonder if they're going to drink all that champagne?

 Seriously? Seriously! A camera crew photographing a model posing! I just find it ironic as the billboards around the fountain pool all say the water is unsafe to swim in! Bilharzia anyone?


 "Can I please get out now!!!"


Of course we had to go exploring about the jungle like pathways! Mind your head!
*KLONK!*



 And just romp about the open lawns. It was a glorious day to be out and about!!

We ended with Rob having a fine seafood meal. Isn't this pic pretty? Not sure I'd take a nosh on that but I'm told it was plenty tasty!

We managed to have a great day with minimal sunburn and some awesome memories!
AGAIN!
