The front yards in Tallahassee continue to amaze me. We of course had the "whale yard" which I critiqued back in July. And I'm almost ashamed to admit that the spectacular display seen above was recently erected in my own neighborhood. (After which the Home Owners Association created a litany of rules about what one can and cannot do in their front yards). Astonishing.Why you many ask? Is it not normal for a homeowner to recreate a pond/woodsy/hobbit scene for all to admire?
I was thinking about walking over and hopping in the pond for a quick swim after work one day. Maybe I'll set up tent and go fishing on a Saturday afternoon. Or perhaps get in some riffle practice - that deer looks enticing. After all, why create such goodness if it can't be enjoyed?
Who needs several acres of land when you can fit an entire forest scene into one pint-sized front yard? Damn the economy - we have innovation.

haha...very interesting - it's kind of funny that you are blogging about your own front yard. Great post, but I can't help but feel that something about this blog entry seems rushed. I can't put my finger on why.
Jake is really giving you a hard time. I am just amazed at the odd yards you have been able to find in Tallahassee. I never knew such spectacular displays could be viewed in Tallytown!
Stay off my yard Kelly!!!
