Greetings Carryoutlady!  I have found a few realistic penguins for
your outdoor pleasure and I hope that one is the type of statue for
which you are searching.  Without an image to go by, I included links
for penguins that I felt were realistic.

Realistic, yes, yet lounging in a chair
http://www.talariaenterprises.com/product_lists/garden_pg2.html

Cheerful penguin spreading wings
http://gardenartbysandpiper.com/Collectable_Item.php/78332.html

King penguin garden statue (an auction item by penguin artist Karen
Tiede)
http://www.ncsu.edu/jcraulstonarboretum/index.html?page=/jcraulstonarboretum/gala/2002/auction_items/penguin.html


I then searched "Karen Tiede penguin" and it appears she is "an
accomplished chainsaw penguin carver." A bio of her is located at the
site Pittsboro penguins and may be viewed at
http://www.pittsboropenguins.com/web_writing/bio.htm - If the penguin
you saw was wooden, it may have been her work.  The Pittsboro penguin
web site is located at http://www.pittsboropenguins.com/ and offers:

Kings
http://www.pittsboropenguins.com/web_writing/kings.htm

Emperors (the one of the 6 baby emperors is simply charming!)
http://www.pittsboropenguins.com/web_writing/emperors.htm

Adelies
http://www.pittsboropenguins.com/web_writing/adelies.htm

All the pieces are somewhat costly yet very impressive artworks and
the site offers much information on penguins as well as including
instructions on proper care of the statues.


Continuing with other penguin statue links are;

Penny Penguin (another artist chainsaw carving - look in the last line
of pictures on the page)
http://www.mainstreetnursery.com/nursery/sculpture/sculpt4.htm#penny

Pop and Benji Penguin (realistic but in skates and clothes)
http://www.coolgardenstuff.com/products2/prods/MGLPENGA.html

Two stone garden penguins

Penguin garden topiary (a living statue)
http://www.countrygardensinc.com/s/shop/item.asp_Q_id_E_244982


I also located an interesting news story about stolen penguin statues
that I thought you might find interesting.  It's located at
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_702831.html?menu=news.quirkies


I hope that one of these images is the one for which you are
searching.  If not, please use the "Request A Clarification" feature
of this program before you rate my answer so that I will have the
opportunity to research further for you before you close the question.

if I might add to journalist's list, there's also a very handsome
penguin lawn ornament -- 22 inches tall, $19.95 -- at the all

carryoutlady,

If you do not feel that journalist had yet answered your Question to
your satisfaction, you should use the "Request Clarification" process,
rather than rating your Answer prematurely. Once a Question has been
rated, the Rating can NOT be changed. Typically, when a Rating is
posted on a Question, it means that the Customer has closed the
Question, and no further input is required from the Researcher.
