Camana Bay Grand Cayman Island Mosaic







Mosaics

The use of mosaics in the Town Centre at Camana Bay is one of the most stunning pieces of art installation I have ever seen. The glass tiles themselves are imported Bisazza Venetian glass tiles from Vicenza, Italy made in 114 colors. The artists who designed and installed the pieces used hand cutting tools to create the pieces.

The Observation Tower


The location of these stunning mosaics illustrates the beauty of marine life and reef formations. The observation tower stands four stories high and each floor depicts a different scene.
Included here are some details shots to show the intricate work involved!

Snowy Horses





Rick and I spent the morning with the dogs on a nice hike through our snowy woods. We always have high hopes that will tire the dogs out but that never really happens! I bought an inexpensive camera for my trip tomorrow to the Cayman's so we drove out to the barn to get shots of our woolley horses. This is one of the first days in several weeks there has even been a glimpse of sunshine. Of course, all the barn dogs arrived in great energy thinking we might take them riding with us.

dogs











The Dog Family

So after Christmas, we have adopted yet another dog. I think it was actually a trick since the dog was being fostered by our friend Sheryl. Then she asked us to watch him for the weekend and Rick (not me) decided we needed to keep him. The adjustment took about a day and now Moses is thrilled to have yet another chew toy that is much smaller than he is now.

Thank goodness we bought a King sized bed and have a decent sized bedroom....it is now strewn with blue rubber bears and pink rubber pigs that are missing ears, tails and even some legs. Each dog has their own bed but Gullliver (the new one) still tries to sneak up during the night. Still, I am glad we have the room in our home and hearts for another rescue!
