Outdoor Art Alert

If you get the chance to drive Highway 101 from Olympia,Wa to Aberdeen, Wa, check out the bigger-than-life cow sculptures in a field at the Mud Bay exit. They're on the south side of the freeway, and the exit is located about 5 minutes west of Black Lake/Olympia. The view of them is better when you're driving west than it is when heading east.

The first one I saw reminded me of Babe the Blue Ox, except that the metal critter wasn't blue. There are two more sculptures west of the first one-- a steer and a mother cow with a calf. I'd like to go back soon and take a detour on the Mud Bay exit, so I can check out the sculptures up close.
