I Like Thursday: Yard Art

There's some interesting yard art in the neighborhood.  I finally got a chance to photograph a few of my favorites.






I really like this saxophone playing ant.  He's gotta be five feet tall.  It's hard to tell in this photo, but he's smiling, too.  Happy, musical ant!

Two doors down the street from the ant is this boat filled with plants.

I like the boat and the buoys. 


I also like the birdhouses that are on the other side of the driveway.  See the little camper hanging in the tree?  Love that.  I like the lighthouse and the little truck planter, too.

Boadicea has gotten a lot of attention lately, so I'll throw one in of Wedgwood... well, at least her nose.  I like seeing Wedgwood all relaxed.

Lastly - I went kayaking with my sister over the weekend.  I really like Oru Kayaks.  They're origami kayaks - when folded up about the size of a large suitcase, just under 30 lbs and can be slung over your shoulder with a big strap.  My sister arrived in her little hatchback with the two kayaks stuffed in the back.  How cool is that?  It was fairly easy to walk across from the parking lot to the boat launch to unfold and assemble.

We set both of them up in about 20 minutes and spent two hours paddling down the Quabaog River.

A couple of guys watch us put them together.  One stuck around just to see us launch, because he really wanted to see them work.

What a beautiful day.

What a terrific view!   

We had a couple of people watch us break them down, too.  Very entertaining.  I may have to eventually buy one of these for myself - I love the idea of being able to throw it in the trunk and go wherever to kayak.
