kermit the phallus

In July of 1999 I headed west for 2 weeks to visit DJ who was living in Vail. Day one was a trip to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Co.. Oh yeah, I brought Kermit the Frog with me (this was the pre-Flat Eric days). Garden of the Gods offers some tremendous rocks, far cooler than anything you'll see in Florida, which if I'm not mistaken, the highest elevation in the state is oh, a whopping 500 ft above sea level.

Anyway, this particular image of Kermit the Frog hanging out on a fence, adorned with local wildflowers(?) really captured the essence of the trip ahead. Of course, the blatantly phallic rock behind him adds quite a bit of character to his blissful expression. Images like these are what Miss Piggy's dreams were made of, no doubt.
