Ring-A-Ding-Ding-Ling

This Saturday continued the Selby Saturdays in June, so I went out and hit up more of the free attractions here in Sarasota. The vista you see above is the courtyard at the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art. The centerpiece is the large bronze copy of Michelangelo's David, which has become the symbol of the city of Sarasota. The museum also features plenty of other sculpture, as well as paintings dating back to the Renaissance. Also on the grounds are the Ca D'Zan (John & Mable's house) and the Museum of the Circus. The grounds are also fully landscaped with exotic trees and flowers. But those pictures will all have to wait for later. Since admission was free, I didn't feel bound to spend all day in one place for hours on end. I was on my way to the next free attraction in less than half an hour.
