Here is the first spindles on the main stairs. Notice that the hand rails
are already in. Kona seems a little confused about the new features, but then, she's often confused...
Henry Moore's Large Spindle Piece sculpture at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
The bronze work dates from 1968-74 and was originally created for an exhibition in Hyde Park.
Moore was born in Castleford near the park and donated many of his works, believing they were better seen outdoors in natural landscape.
There are a whole series of them laid out in the country park area near the entrance, with people and sheep alike wandering around between them.
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures.
There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited.
The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.

My 3 year old giving this cute little spindle a whirl. She does look downright professional in doing so :-)

The notched whorl measures 1 5/8 inches in diameter, and the cocobolo shaft is 7 1/4 inches in length. The bottom of the shaft has been shaped to accommodate a half hitch and a brass hook has been added to the top.

Each year the Zoo hosts its annual sheep shearing event at the Children's Zoo Family Farm.
David Melcon is the Zoo's chief sheep shearer and has been shearing the sheep for more than a decade. He's a master at his craft.
The San Francisco Zoo will send the wool to a Native American Reservation where it will be used for traditional weavings. This helps ensure the culture and rituals of weavings among the Native American tribes continues.
Plus, Urban Fauna Studio was on hand to demonstrate the wonders of working with wool though spindle spinning demonstrations, needle felting, and scarf weaving.
If you missed it this year, mark your calendar for next year!
