Do these count as rubies?
We were at the sculpture garden in Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo yesterday with the kids, enjoying one of the last days of vacation. They have lots of these cool mosaic-covered climbing-things shaped almost like animals - well, it's kind of hard to describe in words, but quite unique, and quite gorgeous. There's a bunch of red in them, so I thought maybe I could post these for Ruby Tuesday - here's a shot of a whole one, and another close up of one of the mosaic bits:

They look very kid-friendly. I bet the kids think they are very cool.
Very cheerful sculptures. Nice shots, especially the second one!
Yes, they are bright and cheerful! We have a new sculpture like that still under construction up our block in Modi'in. There's a completed one in another section of town. I think they are wonderful. One of the things I love about Israel is the lovely gardens and parks designed for families.
cute place for kids, I sure all kids love that friendly place..
Very artistic play area. I love the mosaics.
The name of your blog is wonderful. I feel the same way ;-)
Happy Ruby Tuesday.
These are wonderful and unique!
The closeup looks like Millefiori glass beads.
Nice shots.
oh yeah, they are rubes indeed.
Ruby Tuesday means red, lots or little. These sculptures are perfect, and I have taken more liberty in describing 'ruby'. A fine post, and happy Ruby Tuesday!
Yes lots of red! Very colorful sculpture!
Very nice Rubies!!!
I definitely think they are delightful rubies! The more I see of Israel, the more I really REALLY want to visit there...
Thanks for coming by, everyone! I'm glad that I qualified in the end :)
Look me up if you're ever in the neighborhood!
Those are so happy looking. Are they permanently roped off? They look like they'd be so much fun for kids. Speaking of which, I haven't taken my kids to the Israel Museum in years, I'll have to rectify that this winter...
Hi Robin! These are at the zoo, not the Israel Museum, although I actually have some photos from the sculptures there too - thanks for reminding me!
Most of the climbing things at the zoo are not roped off - just a few (maybe they're more delicate? I don't know). But the photos I took of the others all have my smiling kids on them, and I still haven't decided where I stand on putting pics of my kids online... if anyone out there would like to offer advice on this topic, I'm all ears!
what fab sculptures..i love mosaic art
Great pics, such bright colors :)
They look Ruboid to me!
Cool pics of an interesting place. :)

Ruby gracias por tu pronta visita, me llamo Chana Tzera soy nieta de Judíos sefaradí, mis abuelos emigraron de España a la Argentina, un pueblo de Córdoba donde no hay sinagoga ni colectividad, pero yo Después me vine a estudiar a y la capital: ADSL Con la colectividad, pero siempre me quedo el hambre de saber, hay tantas cosas que no viví y que no se de la vida en comunidad, que me da verguenza, una veces más quiero preguntar, Peo no quiero ser pesada, me encantaría que me cuentes cosas de allá, mi sueño es a vivir allá Cuando mis hijos sean grandes, Porque ellos no quieren ir, pero deseo pasar mi vejez allá, bueno perdona que te cuente tantas cosas, un abrazo, Shalom.

¡Hola Chany! ¡Yo no sé si comprendo todo que usted escribió, pero todas mis fotos son de Israel, así que vienen tiempo de ver más!
Disfruto de su blog y vendré y veré lo que usted hace.
¡Gracias otra vez!
