The archer

I wasn’t really planning to post any more yard decorations from the scavenger hunt, but I did think this archer was quite creative. It wasn’t actually on the hunt and I came across it by chance, but it will be on the restoration society’s new scavenger hunt.

*****

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society has a "whimsical" scavenger hunt on their website in which you're given a large number of addresses on the Hill (along with pictures with no addresses), at which people have works of "art" in their front yards. Some of them are quite showy, some are small and rather ordinary, but we spent the afternoon tracking most of them down, and these are the resulting pictures. The society first introduced this tour last year but was again promoting it for their 2021 Mother's Day "Tour of Tours," so we thought we'd take them up on the challenge. Which it definitely was.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

It’s kind of weird especially with the ancient looking toys in the yard. Nice POV to capture the whole scene. V
