Like the Fast Food one that I featured two weeks ago, this is one that always makes me smile, even when the pigs aren't dressed for a special occasion (in this case, Thanksgiving).
Where did I find it? In front of a veterinary clinic on one of the main roads in Cheyenne.
Ursus, who was first on display as part of the "Gardens Gone Wild" exhibit a few years ago, may not be an official greeter, but he's what you see as you approach the Shane Smith Grand Conservatory - another reason to visit one of Cheyenne's most beautiful locations.
If you're driving through downtown Cheyenne, you might spot this sculpture on the corner of one of the main streets. I smile every time I see it, in part because of its somewhat whimsical name: Fast Food. The artist definitely has a sense of humor.
The original Lander Lil was a live prairie dog, but eventually she was replaced by a statue in the middle of town.
Note how she's carefully positioned so that her shadow is behind her. That doesn't necessarily guarantee an early spring, but you can't fault Wyomingites for trying, can you?
