LAKE PLACID, FLORIDA

                   A DAY IN LAKE PLACID, FLORIDA
A day in Lake Placid is like going to an 
Outdoor Art Center.  The murals on the buildings, all over town, are so professionally done.  If you get to Lake Placid, be sure to pick up the booklet about the murals.  They are all listed, as to where they are, the artists, the sponsors, the date completed and the size. A picture of each mural will be found in the book, as well as a short "blurp" about each painting. 
With a clown school in town, there are clowns to be found in the most unusual places.  
         Clowns can be found on park benches.         

Faces of Florida history.

WOW!

Symbols of  America on one of the buildings.

We found these birders in a wide alley on a side street, amongst other sights of nature.  A little bridge, a pond with fish and multiple native plants grace the small alley way of magnificent murals.
This was my favorite "mural" place in town! 

Amazing ~ these bears were huge and appeared to look so real to life. 

Birds are found, here and there, around town.
So true to life they were.

Garbage cans around town are painted with various scenes/so unlike regular garbage cans. 

This actually looked real as you walked up to it. 

Small-sized vehicles are found in different places in Lake Placid.  Painted and people riding in them.  
So cute!
As you walk passed some of the murals and small vehicles, like this train, you trigger a mechanism that  starts sound effects for that particular mural or vehicle. 

These murals are so great!  They are also huge, taking up the entire sides of buildings in town. 
It really has to be seen to be appreciated.
