In 1984, Emily Polasek donated a bronze copy of the original piece to the City of Winter Park in commemoration of the 25th Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival.

Winter Park is challenging you to capture the city’s non-invasive plants and wildlife in its city parks and green spaces.

The city is hosting a photography contest starting Thursday, which happens to be National Nature Photography Day.
