Jun. 30, 2007 - Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit - July 1, 2007

It is good luck to say "Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit" the first thing the first day of the month.  

Actually these are hares: Dancing Hares Sculptures at Ballantrae.   The community is  in the City of Dublin and the Hilliard school district.  

The developer's map of the neighborhoods at Ballantrae shows the Estates at Ballantrae, the Fairways at Ballantrae,  the Glade at Ballantrae,   the Glens at Ballantrae, the Greens at Ballantrae,  the Hamlets at Ballantrae, the Lakes at Ballantrae (Condominiums), the Manors at Ballantrae,  the Villages at Ballantrae, Villas at Ballantrae (Patio Homes),  Woodlands at Ballantrae (Condominiums),  Courtyards at Ballantrae,  Highlands at Ballantrae,  Reserve at Ballantrae and Retreat at Ballantrae.  
   
Developed by The Edwards Golf Communities, the community is 640 acres of “Irish” countryside, ruins, rubble stone walls  and an 18 hole authentic links public resort-style golf course for character.

The Golf Club of Dublin's website says of the public course:

"The history of the project was to create an authentic golf experience of the British Isles without leaving the States and to give Dublin an award winning public golf facility. The project started slowly but has gained full steam as it has been recognized and awarded."

This photo with a bicycle shows the scale of the Dancing Hares.   

Did I mention that it is good luck to say "Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit" the first thing the first day of the month.
