A Year with "Dino", the Vernal, Utah Dinosaur

         What fun to have a dinosaur to dress for different seasons and holidays!

         Tim and I drive through the town of Vernal every month, and each month we look forward to viewing "Dino" in his seasonal attire and adornments.

          Last week I introduced readers to "Dino", the unofficial mascot of Vernal.  In this post I present a photo essay of "Dino" as he is displayed throughout the year.  Enjoy!

January-February
Dino plays cupid for love-struck passers-by.


March
Dino honors the legendary Dr. Suess's birthday
on March 2nd, with this tribute to his books.


March-April
Happy Easter!

May
Dino holds a sign with a photo of himself as a hatchling,
and a touching shout-out to Mom which reads:
"Mommy You're The Best!".


June
Here's to the class of 2015!


July
Happy Birthday, America!

July-August
The fishing is good at nearby Jones Hole Creek,
part of Dinosaur National Monument.


August-September
The top photo shows Dino enjoying a cookout,
along with the garden's late-summer bounty of watermelon
and pumpkin.
In the bottom photo Dino is all aglow for nighttime.

A large and furry spider spins its web around Dino,
and he doesn't even seem to care!

Merry Christmas from Santa Dino!
