‘Hello, my name is GYPSY!’

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 activity 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.

What a creative and unique approach to yard decor. It is always nice to create light hearted moments in our daily lives that all can enjoy. I also like the colors and excellent clarity in this "fun" capture. VV

Wow, so who has a spare fake cow to take part in this tour? Sounds like fun to do the challenge for sure.
