A Tribute To Clumsy Animals

At Bloorview Kids Rehab Centre, in Toronto, where my son Eric recevies treatment, they have a lovely carved woodland scene near the elevators on the basement level, on your way to the pools.
At first glance, it seems to be just a lovely woodland scene. Then, you realize it is more than that.

It turns out to be a tribute to clumsy animals. For instance:

Look at this scene, with a mommy deer and her baby fawn. So nice. Until...

You realize that THE MOTHER DEER HAS PUT HER HOOF THROUGH THE BABY'S BACK!

And what about these happy duckies?


Just happy duckies? Look again.

This one flew right into a tree! Appropriate, I suppose, in a hospital whose mission includes helping kids with brain injuries.

More to follow...
