Transient Safari Art

In this hot weather, the kids (or at least some of them) like to cool off by hosing each other down in the garden (not quite as calm and sedate as that might sound...)

A development of this has been their discovery of the fact that by getting wet and then pressing various parts of their anatomy against the fence, they can make 'art'. This started with Caleb's inevitable discovery of 'bum prints', but has developed and become slightly more civilized. The result is what I like to call (for reasons that will become obvious) 'transient safari art'.

Here are a few examples:






I'm sure an art critic could find deep things to say about the symbolism of the extinction of species in fragile ecosystems, but I'll let you reach your own conclusions :)
