Friday My Town Shoot-out - Yard Objects

Today's 'My Town Shoot-out' is Yard Objects which translates in the UK as Things in the Garden. Last week it was Textures. Ironically since last week I've seen loads of textures I could have included. Although I have some yard objects I'll no doubt notice a lot more after today. I use the word 'Notice' as opposed to 'See' because that is what having a theme does; it makes you notice your surroundings much better. I did much better with last week's "Textures" and I have one or two good one's planned for "Reflections" but on the whole I wasn't very enamoured of my Yard Objects selection - a bit uninspiring. Sorry NoeNoe Girl, I feel I let you down a bit.


Small garden statues are fairly common but GB has the only Jemima Puddleduck I've seen.


Bird statues - like our eagle back home - are quite common.


Of course, some real birds are no respecters of statues!


And stone isn't the only material. This owl was carved with a chainsaw.



Of course, some people can go a bit over the top with garden ornaments...


Then again some people have live animals in their garden or peering over the garden gate - like Norman the Ram. (Photo courtesy of Pat!)
