I See What You Mean

Mile high baseball and beer

With a very limited amount of time in Denver this past fall, I based my non-work time in the city around a couple of late season baseball games and some craft beer sampling. This is the luxury of second visits to places – there’s no need to rush around seeing the sights to alleviate the fear of missing out on something.

Once my meetings wrapped up on a Friday afternoon, I got to work in making the most of my weekend in Denver. First stop: my all time favourite piece of public art – “I See What You Mean” or as it is more commonly known as, “Big Blue Bear”. My weekend was off to a great start.

I love the Big Blue Bear

Living, as it is, in a city with little to no public art, I sometimes get a little giddy at the effusive displays of creativity in public spaces in the places to which I travel.  With limited time to fully explore Denver, I still managed to come across a number of really interesting pieces of public art.

First, the striking “The Yearling” by Donald Lipski outside of their public library downtown.  Indeed, a horse standing atop of a chair.  Love this:

Denver, Delayed

I returned home from Denver about a week ago, but haven’t had a chance to write a thing about the trip.  I’m participating in NaNoWriMo this month, so am preoccupied with trying to complete a 50,000+ word novel in the next 14 days.  I’ll write more about what was an enjoyable trip to take in a conference.  I loved the food, was astounded by the selection of beer, and fell in love with what I think is the most engaging piece of public art I have encountered on my travels – the Big Blue Bear (see below) – entitled “I See What You Mean”.  More to come later this month on five great days in Denver.
