Some caveats, if you like to take pictures without people standing in the way or wandering through your shot like me, bring patience. Also, bring some water and snacks.

So, if you are in or around the Ottawa-Gatineau area or are going to be in the area sometime before it ends, then go see it, you will be glad you did.

Not sure what the deal was with these horses, but they were really awesome. I think they were made of driftwood. Nonetheless, excellent craftsmanship:
The next ones are of a little vegetable and herb garden plot. I liked it:
not sure what the plant in the middle is, interesting though
My pictures really do not do this exhibit justice, plus there are more than what I have shown, but I will close with my favourite one of all:
