Continuing with Becky’s Spiky Squares themed photo challenge, here are a few sculptures and plants that were just a bit on the pointy side at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Meijer Gardens is my favorite place in GR! We just moved from there in October. Lovely captures.
Thanks, Patti. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would love to go back for another look.
Excellent assortment of subjects!!
Thanks, Indira! This was the largest sculpture park that I’ve ever seen, and so much more, with gardens and nature walks. It took us two days to see everything.
A well balanced selection.
Thanks, Tom! I like the way they incorporate works of art with the natural surroundings, and their greenhouses are spectacular.
what amazing sculpture, not sure I have seen anything like it before
They had a pleasing mix of traditional and modern art and although I’m not a huge fan of the modern stuff, they provided some interesting pictures.
in the right place it works, all to often though they put the most bizarre pieces in the most lovely places and you think why?!!!
Very cool! Where is this park? I just blogged about one in New Hampshire yesterday!
The park is in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Love the colorful cactus!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by.
