International donkey

For some odd reason, this donkey wasn’t part of the scavenger hunt, but it was located in the front yard of the people who put up the newspaper elephant (below, previous picture). Needless to say, their part of the block is quite attention-getting!

*****

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.

Reminds me of a pinata. Such a colourful addition to a front yard.

I guess the maple leaf is on the other side? :) V

I'd much rather spend time with this donkey than the sad tattered elephant with all the bad news.

A very nice patriotic work of art looks to be a bit political in the area it is displayed in.
Nice close up and excellent detail.
