Siesta Key Sandcastle Contest

It's been a great two weeks here in Sarasota. First the awesome chalk festival drawings and now the stunning Siesta Key Sandcastle Contest. You will notice from the photo's they are almost 9 to 10 feet high.

The winner is:

A volkswagon gecko? Not sure but love those feet and scales.

My favorite is:

Look at those abs!

Or maybe this is my favorite....

and the funniest thing used in the process of making these sculptures is:

a currycomb - right? It looks like the ones we used to groom the cattle for the fair! And a few more photo's...
