Fort Mason Garden Creatures

As promised, more of my continuing series of amazing garden creatures. This time from the Fort Mason Community Garden in SF.

Buddha in the Garden

In my continuing documentation of the lovely and novel garden ornamentation people put in their yards, I bring you the Buddha of Red Hook.

Found a few years ago in Brooklyn while traipsing around for some site analysis, I came across this Buddha in a side yard. I was impressed with the curation of the view through the outside gate, not sure if it was purposeful or not, but it provided a good picture.

Roar 2

It seems like everything these days has a sequel.

Found in a walk over the weekend, our favorite Ocean Beach T-Rex now has a companion in Bernal Heights.

Have a Roaring Weekend!

Chicksitting

I find myself chicksitting this week while my brothers are out of town. What they do not know is they might not get them back. You can't help but smile with their sweet little chirps. The curious guy in front is Sparrow.

I figure a little animal husbandry can fit into the garden. These are the miniatures, perfect for a backyard or a little farm along Westside Road. 

Happy Friday and Good Luck

                                                                                           ...I am looking forward to reading that blog of yours.

Citizens of the Garden

In honor of my finally seeing Gnomeo and Juliet (great movie!), I celebrate the underappreciated and often mocked creatures of the Garden. These are some of the residents of my garden.

Other cool uses of kitsch are Ken Smith's Daisy Border or any other installation at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma (if you haven't gone and you are in the Bay Area, it is a must!) and what I lovingly referred to as the 'Lawn Jockey' Club (21 Club) on 52nd in New York.

Roar!

I love quirky garden creatures. Who do you think would win between this guy and a gnome? Heaven forbid the lawn jockey or the pink flamingo get involved.


Happy Weekend!
