A few years ago, something called the Cow Parade<\/a> made a stop in my area. For those who don\u2019t know, the Cow Parade is a traveling public art exhibit that encourages local artists to paint a hundred or more life-sized fiberglass cows, which are then displayed throughout the region, both indoors and out. The Cow Parade has appeared in cities all over the world, including dozens of major U.S. cities, including Chicago, Houston and Atlanta.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really fun to see the different designs that are painted on the cows, but one thing I\u2019ve noticed is that there have been several watermelon-themed cows created over the years.<\/p>\n

Cow Parade \u2013 Tokyo, Japan (2006) \u2013 \u201cSuica\u201d (watermelon)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the only watermelon cow I could find of the \u201clying down\u201d variety, but I like this one because of the incredible attention to detail, including the realistic stripes and stem spot on top.<\/p>\n

Cow Parade \u2013 Atlanta (2003) \u2013 \u201cWatermelon Helen and Crazy Crow Cousins\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This design comes complete with a cowbell. The \u201cCrazy Crow Cousins\u201d can be seen perched on Watermelon Helen\u2019s back.<\/p>\n

What can I say about a sculpture like this, except that it\u2019s one of the most memorable watermelon-themed cows I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
