Cats are not without a sense of humor, so I was quite excited to see 
With a little help from my Human, I managed to secure photos of a couple of bizarre spectacles we have passed on the way to the vet. In fact, they are so creepy/scary that they temporarily make me completely forget that we're on our way to the vet!
And that says something.
For our opening feature, something right here in our neighborhood.
There it is, in the middle of the grassy bit of their circular driveway. The traffic cones add a nice touch...
Now, before anyone gets all bent out of shape, I do know that this particular type of "art" has specific meaning as a "statement" in certain parts of the LGBT community.
This is TOTALLY what I want my visitors to see, when they come into my driveway!
However, I don't think that excuses anyone from the bad taste of exhibiting this on the front lawn, greeting anyone who comes into the driveway.
This thing is almost 5 feet (1.5m) tall, by the way — as bright and loud as a crowing rooster at 5:00 in the morning.
Keep in mind that we live in a fairly green and well established "natural" suburban area. Most houses and front yards are somewhat hidden by greenery and hedges. Not necessarily well manicured, but "natural." Here, there is barely a tree or shrub to be had... but certainly something to "dominate the landscape."
Just to add a little more interesting color, there are actually several of these around our town.
Evidently, dubious taste runs in groups...
And just to reiterate, not trying to offend anyone here.
Main Feature Event:
For the main event, we get a little closer to town; to what my Human jokingly calls "Tasteless Acres."
A bit "beyond words" for this. But someone thought this was "a good idea" in their front yard.
No this is not a food establishment (creepy enough) but these people actually thought it was a good idea at the edge of their front yard, saluting people driving by.
Again, this... object... is about 5 feet (1.5m) tall, so there's nothing subtle about this.
They actually have a garden light on this thing, so it blazes up at night.
Yup, there it is. At the edge of the front yard. Facing the street...
And if you pan a bit further to the right they have a year-round gingerbread house. Which just may be the dog house. Which leads me to actually feel somewhat sorry for the dog.
Dog house? Garden art? The mind boggles... but the cardboard owl nailed to the tree offers a sense of normalcy...
It says a lot that a cardboard owl nailed to a tree looks relatively normal!
Obligatory CuratorCat selfie!
The really amazing thing is that someone actually thought this was a good idea, and worthy of being put on display.
Well, that's all for this edition of Curator Cat. Not the sort of thing I usually share, but this was just too tempting!
This is CuratorCat, signing off...
Have a beautiful day!
