LEANIN' TREE, BOULDER, CO 7-26-09


Ed Trumble founded Leanin' Tree, a fine art greeting card company in 1949. The popularity of Leanin' Tree cards has enabled him to pursue his vision and build an important collection of fine art of the American West.









Although you are not allowed to take pictures inside the museum that houses 250 paintings and 150 bronze sculptures, you can photograph the statues in the garden,











Everything is life size and the detail of the bronze statues in just incredible.


This on is titled "Checkmate".









Here's Bill with a buffalo.













This was my absolute favorite. It's titled "Waiting for the Mail".










This was definitely the most interesting. It is created completely of tools and other metal items found around the farm. If you click on the photo you can get a closer view. It was amazing.











This bull elk is titled "Sound of Autumn" by Gerald Balciar.











The burro, who made prospecting a lot easier for the miners.











White tailed deer.










"The Intruder" by Ken Bunn.













This is a view of the front range and the Rockies in the background taken between Boulder and Golden, Colorado. I never tire of this beautiful scenery.






We found this small herd of buffalo on the way back to Castle Rock on Tomah Road.
