"Florida's Finest"
This bronze statue sits in the entrance park to the governor's mansion. It is dedicated to the children of Florida and depicts 5 children and a dog playing "follow the leader". The artist is W. Stanley "Sandy" Proctor.
Wow, Sandy's such a fine sculptor. I love this one as much as the others. For me it shows these children running head long into the future, fighting to keep their balance. A perfect metaphor for growing up! Thanks, Lois.

I love this sculpture!
I too love this sculpture. So many cities have great park sculptures. It's about time I say. MB
How cute! At first glance, I thought it was real.
I can't believe how green it is there in November! Well I suppose it must be green all year in Tallahassee. Sigh.
