#seenonarun Sculpture of a dragon by Paul Eppling at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg, FL.
It was bittersweet to visit this metal dragon sculpture (and several others) during the 2017 Boyd Hill 5K Trail Run. The amazing sculptor, Paul Eppling, died a year ago. Thankfully we can enjoy his whimsical, mythical creatures around town. Thank you Paul! #BoydHill #afdtsp #5K #EpplingCreatures

#stpeterocks #seenonarun
People paint and hide #stpeterocks for others to find. The rocks are a variety of inspirational, whimsical, and silly bright spots discovered on a walk or run around town. Finders are encouraged to post a photo on Facebook so the creator sees when and where their rock was found. It's fun to re-hide the rock in another locale to see how far a rock may travel.
