Company for the rooster

I came across this across the street from a rooster decoration in someone’s yard. The restoration society said they’d include it in their next 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.

The sculpture and garden compliment each other very well. It pays to look around.

A metal egret with a fish, such cool and whimsical art, and I love the colorful surrounding pansies.

That's pretty neat, Helen!

It sure makes the yard more interesting. The best part is the fish in its mouth.
