READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!

How can these kids be so full of life and spirit? They aren't even real kids!

The artist behind these "Ready or Not" kids, Sal Pizarro, captured the fun and innocence of youth along San Jose, California's Guadalupe River Park.

I fell in love with these aluminum statues from the moment I first saw them, one by one, hiding behind poles and ducking aside of benches.

These 'kids' were also found at other locations throughout the park. Some were in awe of the planes flying overhead, in "Ready for Takeoff".

Others admired the views of the river, sporting nothing less than high fashion.

These works of public art bring the sense of childhood whimsy to everyone who passes by. Way to go, Sal Pizarro!
