So funny. Went to Heard Museum to take some shots in the courtyard.
Some good ones posted to Facebook. (Beryl will like them, I'll bet.)
This one here I figured had some mystical significance, like a Kokopelli.
I'd no idea what it was... looks like a hippopotamus to me, of a sort.
At coffee, a Navaho woman sat across. I approached and asked her what it was.
"It's just a bear." I was terribly amused. Making something of nothing, as Iris put it.
In passing, I asked her again whether it had any meaning beyond the mundane.
"In Navajo culture the bear is a protector." That made my day, thanks be to God.
