Metallic Tribe

Foo just had to go see this metal teepee he heard about. He really wanted to find the metal Indians from the metallic tribe, but it seems they were all out to lunch.

Poetic Mettle

Foo found it entirely poetic that this poetry was immortalized in metal. He just wished he could take it home, but yet again, it was stuck to the ground.

Super Swoosh

Foo knows he should just do it, but these metal swooshes were going every which way so he wasn't sure which way he should go to do it.

Sit Ubu Sit

Foo was intrigued by this metal guard dog. He wasn't much for protection, but he did startle the patrons with the clanking of the metal when he ran to lick their toes.

You're Doing It Wrong

Foo found this pretty flower in the women's restroom (um... yeah, he has an all-access pass), but it clearly did nothing for the smell. Gross ladies, gross...

A Little of Column A

Foo loves the positive attitude of this sculpture at the Huntington Sculpture Garden. Its interconnectivity of metal an stone was truly inspiring... and he thought it looked like a big Thumbs Up!

Rohrschach Test?

Palm creature? Strange key? Peg-legged feather monster? Foo wasn't sure either, and the hippo and rhino weren't telling. Whatever it was, it still made for a good picture.

One Fell Swoop

The only thing that saved Foo from getting grabbed up by this gigantic bird of prey was the split second between hearing the shriek and feeling the swoosh of the air. It was a close one, but he managed to get away with just a little scratch.

On a Missile

Foo was on a missile... er... mission to find the best outdoor art in Houston, and so far, his luck was pretty good! This missile was certainly pointing him in the right direction.

Eye of the Swarm

As Foo continued to adventure about the field, he suddenly was swarmed by a strange cloud of black objects he couldn't identify, but Foo was more fascinated than scared.
Because he didn't show any fear, the swarm suddenly became easy and friendly and let Foo know he was now a member of the swarm club and welcome back any time.

The Ranks of the Fallen

Even though Foo didn't make it to the top, the metal soldier man continued to give him a respectful salute.

Foo soon understood why when he met a dragon who'd tried to make the climb before. He came back with one wing too few.
And then there was this creature who got disfigured past the point of recognition... after all was said and done, Foo was glad he decided not to go all the way to the top. After all, all the riches he needs are his photos and his memories!

Chain of Command

Foo was thrilled when he found this metal chain that stretched all the way up into the sky. Based on his studies of the Beanstalk Chronicles, Foo was certain that he would find treasures and golden geese and more up at the top in the clouds and took command of the chain.
As he began to climb, everyone around was in awe and one metal soldier even gave him a respectful salute for his bravery. Foo only got a few links up, however, before he heard a mighty growl from above and realized why they thought him brave. Thar be giants aloft!

Spider Foo

Foo was having a nice day until he ran into this horrific giant spider in a field. He may not look too scared, because this photo was taken just after he vowed to bring that arachnid to an end!

Runnin' Down the Road

Foo was just running down the road tryin' to loosen his load... and found this gigantic metal roadrunner. He wouldn't stay still long enough for a proper picture. Foo thinks the bird thought he was a coyote for some reason.

Foo-rific Sculptures

Foo got a look at the local art in Houston at this sculpture house. It's metallic and ornate, and more than a little bit weird. 










This green lady really liked Foo.... it made him a little uncomfortable, but he is always a really good sport and was pleased to sit for a photo.

He Layed a Foo!

Foo was having so much fun with his metal birdie friends that he decided he could help out this friend who had just laid an egg and needed to go get food. Foo jumped right up and settled in to warm the fragile orb and the big momma bird took off. Luckily she wasn't gone long because Foo had places to be!

Love Birds

These two metal birds were so in love that no matter what Foo did to get their attention, they wouldn't turn for the camera. Must be nice.... Foo wants a girlfriend, too...

So That's What Happened

Ever wonder what really happened to the dinosaurs? Yup, Foo started hunting and was really too good at it. Then his super powers turned the bones into metal.
