Orland lost a very creative couple when Rick Martens and his wife, Melanie, moved to Santa Cruz. Since Rick is retired and not into quilting like his wife, he gets creative and made from scratch this flower bed and retaining wall in front of their home. “I love not only the seahorse but the detail of the rubber lizard in the mouth of the shark,” comments their friend, Donna Wilder. Every time one little boy walks by the sculpture of the shark, he has to look to make sure the lizard is still in the shark’s jaws. Glenn County Observer caption provided by Donna Wilder.
