Silly Garden Art

VP over at Veg Plotting shared a tour of her garden whimsies today. Yesterday there was an adorable picture of a snail.

She inspired me to share another picture of Senor Werm. Someday someone will teach me how to use this keyboard and I will be able to make the little squiggle over the n. Anyway, we want to see your garden whimsies. That's right, we want pictures of funny little statues or art pieces you keep in the garden. Leave me a comment and I will link your post. If no one plays, I will have to lurk and link. Don't make me lurk.
Players
Cinj has a cute gazing ball holding frog over at Cinj's chat room.
Anna has a bunny planter over at Woody and Herbaceous. Well, on second look, she pretty much has bunnys everywhere.
Perrenial Garden Lover has a really cool Scarecrow and turtles and a bird bath
Brenda at the Brenda Blog has a whole bunch of cute garden art. I particularly like the beetle
While it is not silly or garden art, Momo Falis has beautiful pictures of Hocking Hills and some cool pathways. It's my blog and I will link what I want to.
Crafty Gardener went all out for this challenge over at The Gardener Side. There is even a slide show. Check it out.
Karen over at Artist's Garden has a cartoon that made me smile.
Karen at Home Free, has dressed up some rocks in some very cute knitwear.
Tina at in the garden has bowling balls
The Lurking List
Weed Wackin Wenches have a darling picture of Diva Dog
Joy at Gardenjoy4me has a darling bunch of bench warmers

  1. Debbie - Senor Werm is just brilliant. I can imagine him wriggling across my lawn.

  3. Statues? Did you say statues? Cuz I've got a ton of them, so many I seem to get laughed at sometimes. Give me a few minutes and I'll find some of the more whimsical ones to contribute.

  4. All I have is bunnies but they've been good about staying still while I take their photo. I'll get mine to ya soon. I would say I like your worm--but that just sounds wrong.

  6. Senor Werm is adorable. I don't have anything that whimsical in my garden, just a couple of turtles that my husband's grandma gave me. They were part of her water garden, they can spray water out their mouths. :)

  9. Pg, I found a cutie scarecrow on your blog. I didn't see the turtles, but I am not done lurking.

    Anna, got your additional bunnies. I think you need a real bunny, maybe Idalou shoud come live with you.

  11. Senor Werm looks like he could do an excellent job in your compost pile, too!
    I don't have any whimsy in my garden right now--too busy just adding plants. But I'll have to check out some of these posts that do. Thanks for the links.

  14. Oh, I just took some shots for Hopsccotch and Hydrangeas Virtual Baby Shower and posted yesterday! But I shall go back out into the garden today and take some more.
