Looks like a cross between an ostrich and a dinosaur. Great photo. Xxx

actually there was a dinosaur like that with the same head and neck. my 8 yr old neighbour could porbablly tell you the name . I think it is a diplodoccus possibly . A local granddad built it for his grandchildren . you can sit on the dinosaur back . it is just an old tree with branches removed . and a mouth cut into it also has a reed tepee, a swing, a helterskelter, and ring of foot high tree stumps with one central one where they could put the world to rights . unfortunately the children have now grown up . a super play area . i hope they appreciated it . i love it ! full of flowers now too

Sounds perfect Jaybird.u did well to go out for a walk.x

[Patk1 in reply to Jaybird19]

Looking at it again,it's reminded me of local parks up here that have various carved structures spread out be woods,on walkways.x

[Jaybird19 in reply to Patk1]

yes we have those too they are brilliant jus a chunk of wood transformed into a creature / mostly near to the carparks but not been to those places for 3 years now . getting my mobility back again i go to the nearest seat and progress on from there try tpo do further each day but fine weather means others get to the seat before me , the two teenagers after school, and yesterday i met a flood control engineer on the seat i was aiming for . a young man with a really wild mop of hair in shorts with and with a strong liverpool accent . had interesting conversation about a wide range of subjects besides flood control . i live in a town on the meeting of two rivers that do rise rapidly and have flooded the town a sometimes. endeavoring to extend walk each day and found a path through a small patch of wasteland that had been developd by council with existing trees and flowering ones added and bluebell s and forget me nots l planted in masses . It been there at least 10 years but never walked there before. when i came back the seat wasnt available and it was a struggle to get home but getting better and less muscle pain next day .

Brilliant photo - looks like Nessie crossed with an alligator to me! 😊xx

[Jaybird19 in reply to Nula2]

there are steps up to its back (out of shot) and chicken wire on its back so children can climb on it safely

[Nula2 in reply to Jaybird19]
