SUGAR at Sunset Seat

September 16, 2015

From Surf Dogs Surf A Thon event at Del Mar dog beach, we stopped at Anderson Canyon just north of Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego. Recently, an award-winning woodworking artist Tim Richards transformed a red Torrey Pine into a piece of art.

Torrey Pine is the rarest pine in the United States . Torrey Pines are native to coastal hills and bluffs in the Del Mar area of southern California and to Santa Rosa Island.

Definitely a unique way to transform a dead Torrey Pine.

The dead Torrey Pine stump is now called Sunset Seat. A stump where people can sit, look and enjoy the scenic ocean view. A carved red-tailed hawk, official bird of Torrey Pines Reserve, is attached to the stump.

Many locals and tourists are admiring Tim Richards art piece. We were informed that another beetle-damaged Torrey Pine on Coastal Rail Trail (City of Solana Beach) is Tim Richards next woodcarving art project.

What do you think of Tim Richard’s Sunset Seat?

In The City, Exploring #WrigleyField100 #CentennialSeats

June 11, 2014

 

Last weekend, Sugar had lots of Golden FUN in the city, Chicago. We live in the suburbs, so going to the city is always an adventure.

We went for a stroll on Michigan Avenue, also known as the Magnificent MagMile.

Chicago is known for talented artists and community groups. Every summer, special exhibits are held on the streets of Michigan Avenue.

In 2011, Sugar had an opportunity to sit under Forever Marilyn Monroe giant sculpture. Last year, Sugar got to see 14 planters of Giant Chia Heads. This year, we had so much fun exploring 50 displays of 100 ball bark seats to commemorate some of the greatest moments of Wrigley Field first 100 years. We are big CUBS fans so this adventure was Golden Sweet!

These ball bark seats are artistically designed by artists, celebrities, and community groups. At the end of Summer, these seats will be up for auction with proceeds benefiting Cubs Charities and the community groups.
