Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, located in Hamilton, Ohio, is a unique place to visit. I took my kids here when they were little, and they had a great time exploring the huge sculptures. The underground pyramid-shaped house, which is now a museum, is set in 265 acres of park-like grounds featuring 37 contemporary sculputures, gardens, 7 lakes, and quite a few hiking trails. The museum contains displays of Roman, Egyptian, and Greek sculptures that are thousands of years old. In fact, the goal of the museum is to have a collection which will demonstrate the complete history of sculpture by mankind.
The grounds are open year-round from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The museum is open daily, from 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM. Admission is $8.00 for adults, and $2.00 for children.

This month's IWSG question is, "How has life as a writer been? Is it what you expected?"
I didn't go into writing with any expectations. My daughter, when she was 3, convinced me to publish a story that was in my head. 20 years later, here I am, with 11 published books, and a new picture book coming out soon. (Happy Birthday to US!) I think I'd have to say I've found it to be a lot of work. And not much money compensation in return. I keep hoping, though, that one day my books will hit it big. I've spent hours writing, rewriting, and marketing my books. I've been out and about at author events and schools selling and signing them. I think the best thing, aside from the creative process, is when I get feedback from readers that they really enjoy my work. Their support and enthusiasm keeps me going. What about you? If you're a writer, how has your experience been?




Hello Sherry, what a glorious, magical and captivating place!!! Beautiful photos. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 for sharing, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed these pictures!
DeleteThat would be a great park to visit. Like hiking trails.
ReplyDeleteNo, not a lot of money. It's all in the satisfaction of creating something unique that others enjoy.
This is true. I keep plugging away at it, trying to get the books out there. :)
DeleteHi Sherry - gosh that's a rather large ambition re the sculptures - impossible I'd have thought.
ReplyDeleteYes - interesting about your publishing journey ... but wonderful to have done ... as Alex notes. The support and enthusiasm I can imagine: they look fun books. I imagine (too) that bloggers are great supporters - cheers Hilary
It is ambitious. Not sure if they'll be able to accomplish it, but it'll be fun to try!
DeleteWhere is that in relation to Columbus? We have family there.
ReplyDelete1 1/2 hours south of Columbus. Just north west of Cincinnati.

ReplyDeleteHope new picture book will be fun! Will it have gardens in it?
ReplyDeleteYes, writing is a lot harder than many people imagine.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Shady's Place this month, dear friend!
Like you, we had no trick-or-treaters at our house this year, nor did we expect any, seeing as how we live in a gated 55+ community.
Thanks for the tip on Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. I like the fact that it offers a refreshingly different type of experience. Mrs. Shady and I are art lovers and would certainly enjoy examining and learning about the ancient sculpture.
Congratulations on 20 years as a published author. Take good care of yourself and enjoy the rest of November, dear friend Sherry!
Hearing from readers is always lovely.
ReplyDeleteHow cool are those! Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for your writing accomplishments! I'm glad your daughter didn't give up on you. :)
Sounds like you are doing al the right things. It's a very small percentage that get rich doing it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place to visit. We can hope to "hit big," but it looks like your books have already made a sizeable impact with many young readers, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThat park looks so fun. Thanks for sharing. And, I've enjoyed watching your book progress through the years. I've bought some and they have been appreciated gifts. I'm sure your daughter is proud to have kickstarted it for you. You set a good example, and bring joy to happy readers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on ELEVEN published works! Like you, I haven't made much money, but I agree that positive reader feedback feels great!
ReplyDeleteI'm making a note, I had no idea such a place existed. Thanks for posting about it. Need to check google maps and see how far it is for me. Am out visiting everyone on my blog list to catch up, as it's been way too long since I've blogged. Feels good to get back into it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published and eleven books out there! It's such a huge accomplishment! The park looks fun.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea for a museum.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea. Looks so good.
