Hold onto your hats, there's a lot to see! (Hope no one gets bored.)

I loved this little sculpture of cat and kitten sleeping in the columbine. I have a great fondness for cats. I have two, but they seldom go outside, so I don't talk about them much. (I like dogs, but Nigel is allergic) |
 |
I'm not a big fan of most garishly painted garden gnomes, but I like this one, cuddling with a sleeping kitty. |
 |
This birdhouse tree is cool, a good way to use an old dead tree. |
 |
At first glance I thought this kitty was real. |
 |
This one was! |
 |
She was friendly, but desperate to get in the house, away from the people. |
 |
An interesting take on the proverbial pink flamingo. |
 |
This cluster of leaves on pipes is meant to look like a real Gunnera. |
 |
Bambi and his mom? |
 |
Frog prince leaping beside a stream |
 |
Sometimes crocs in the garden can be a bit kitschy, but this one works. Rather creepy. |
 |
Chess, anyone? |
 |
Sometimes just a piece of driftwood can make a statement. |
 |
When the stream is flooding, I bet this life-size nymph looks like she is rising out of the water. |
 |
Looks like this boy has caught a frog in the stream! |
 |
Bathing beauty beside a pond. |
 |
I didn't realize until I looked at my photo -- this life-size fairy looks like she's flying. |
 |
Hoping for some rare PNW sunshine. |
 |
If you sit next to him, maybe Mark Twain will read to you. |
 |
Art in the Japanese garden was minimal, as it should be. Stone and metal lanterns. |
 |
This interesting stack of stones was suspended in a tree. |
 |
The front door was the most ornate thing in the garden. |
 |
In the Japanese garden, the big stones were really the only art the garden needed. |
