Yard Art…Contrasts

Time again to visit Mary at Work of the Poet and see what people are putting in their yards these days…

 

So I was having myself a little chuckle as I noticed these contrasts in yard art. You have your lion and your bunny here. At least it is a smiling lion. I was thinking the lion and a  lamb would have been a good pairing.

 

Then you have what I believe is the Madonna at the front door with your classic Gnome down the stairs. Makes me want to sing this song even if there weren’t more then 2 things…

“One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?”

I’m so glad there is yard art to entertain me on my walks!

Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.

Yard Art On Thursday…

 

This week I have some rather tame yard art for you. Do you recognize this Willow?

Please visit Mary at Work of the Poet to see more.

Yard Art ~ Peaceful and Bazaar…

Well I just couldn’t resist posting some more yard art with Mary at Work of the Poet. Thanks Mary for hosting this…

 

 

Hope you are all having a great week and looking forward to a long weekend here in the U.S.A. We will be remembering those who have and are serving our country. God bless all who have served and are serving our country and insured our freedoms over the years!!

Yard Art ~ Merry Go Round…

Mary at Work of the Poet is our hostess for Yard Art on Thursday. I’m having lots of fun with this meme! I drove by this house on my way to the hairdresser last week. I went around the corner to get back to it and parked to take my photos.

 

At the back of the house and next to driveway these critters greeted me. Make sure and look up to see the Owl on top of the tree trunk! I crossed the driveway and all along the front and side of the house were different animals from a Merry-Go-Round. I’ve heard that when the ride is all horses it’s called a carousel and when there are different animals it’s called a Merry-Go-Round.

 

 

 

I zoomed in to see what was lurking around this wishing well…

 

So this was a very Merry house all the way around the property. Luckily the house is on a corner so there is only one neighbor next door and they really can’t see all the yard art from their property but all the cars driving by get a birds eye view!

Yard Art ~ Seasoned and New…

Call me weird but I love hunting down Yard Art these days. Please visit Mary at Work of the Poet to join in the fun.

 

The mushrooms are in a yard in my neighborhood and the Owl was in Descanso Gardens in Southern California.

On Mother’s Day on our way home from brunch we stopped at this Flea Market/Antique store and I photographed these new beauties that haven’t found a home in a yard yet…

 

The weather has been just glorious here in the Northwest this week. Today on my way to my hair appointment in Seattle I hit the mother lode in yard art. I’ll be showing you that yard next week.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by…

Yard Art!?

Maybe a car or motorcycle crashed into that tree…

This has got to be some of the strangest yard decorating I’ve seen.

I’ve Got Yard Art!

I’ve been threatening my family for years about adding some yard art to our landscape…and I use landscape loosely here because our yard is in no way landscaped. It’s kind of like the inside of my house which is in no way professionally decorated! Hodge Podge is a better way to describe it…eclectic. Working with what you have and adding something here and there.

 

I saw these little guys at Fred Meyer and they were on sale so I bought them and stuck them in the planter along our front walkway. So my family has Yard Art Thursday and Mary to thank for finally pushing me over the edge with a purchase of my own Gnomes!!

Hmmm…upon close inspection of these Gnomes I’m struck with how they resemble my paternal grandfather except for his beard was redish…

Thanks for hosting Yard Art on Thursday Mary!

Yard Art ~ Another Walk in the Neighborhood!

Visit Mary at Work of the Poet to join in on this fun weekly meme. This meme is a real motivation for me to get out and walk. On Monday when I walked and I got to the top of the hill I turned right instead of left and here’s what I found.

I think the happy face painted on the rock is very funny. Most of the yards that I found “art” in this day were in serious need of some weed pulling! Have a great end of the week everyone. Oh and I walked again today specifically to get to a unique Yard Art house. I’ll show you next week!

Yard Art!

 

Time to visit Mary at Work of the Poet for some more Yard Art!

These great specimens are all from one yard and this is just a sampling of what was in this yard…

Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.
