Telling Our Story One Scrapbook Page At A Time – Installment 16, Galveston 2012, No. 3 Tree Sculptures part 1

On September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike made landfall on Galveston. Among the destruction Ike caused were beautiful old trees, uprooting and killing thousands. Years later, the tree sculptures were born.

On this day, we decided we would take the list and map we found online and see how many tree sculptures we could find. Although we did not find them all, we could have but our stomachs had other ideas. So, here is today’s tree sculpture scrapbook pages.

“Pod of Dolphins and Mermaid” located at 902 Ball Street. The artist is Earl Jones.

“Dolphin” located at 828 Ball Street. The artist is Earl Jones.

“Squirrel with Acorn” located at 1302 Ball Street. The artist is Dayle Lewis.

“Wildlife Totem Pole” located at 1302 Ball Street. The artist is Dayle Lewis.

“Two Herons” located at 1316 Ball Street. The artist is Dayle Lewis.

“Guitar” located at 1415 Ball street. The artist is unknown, however some website say the homeowner is the artist.

“Toad” located at 1615 Ball Street. The artist is Dayle Lewis.

Tomorrow I will be back to complete the tree sculpture tour.
