This property is so far the most whimsical front yard that I have come across in the outskirts of my town this part of #mycalifonia.
A charming and artistic front yard of a modest house.
The perimeter of the property is lined with handcrafted rustic art from upcycled material.
An eclectic combination of wood and metal art in all sizes from tiny, small, medium, to large... spinners, statues and countless garden art.
Staked garden decor, flowers made from spoons and forks, a lizard made from a spade, painted in happy colors.
Artistic container gardens from a variety of succulents on recycled kitchen sink, buckets, hotel pans, and pots.
A free-standing garden shelves made from recycled ladders soon to be filled with small pots of plants. Garden art trees made from green and blue bottles mark the entrance to the yard.

Sadly a lot of people in Vancouver aren't amused of this kind of art. I recall someone created a mural of automotive junk , mostly hubcaps, on his corner lot fence. It was a great service as owners of cars could find a replacement hubcap for their cars. Anyway, his Neighbors complained and the city forced him to take it down.
This house is located more than 20 miles from our town limits, and the only house for miles on the Hway. The garden decor, although individually made from "junk" is artistically laid out in the yard giving it a whimsical and fairytale look. I think that many who see it are appreciative. I just don't know if it will be as appreciated if it was in the midst of a modern urban or city setting. As in everything else, there will always be differing taste and opinions, and haters as well, who may complain about a yard like this. That can be a sad thing alright.
How are you doing, sis! Any plans for today? Enjy the rest of the day, my lovely sis @kerrislravenhill! Take care 🥰🌺🤙, lots of hugs and love 🤗💕.

That is a very interesting yard; I'm sure you would have to stop by many times to see everything! Congrats @maddogmike on winning the 5 Hive! Take care my sweet sister and have a lovely evening!🤗💕🌸😘
The owners are very open in expressing their art... it is road art for us who drive by. I think that one can create their own whimsical garden if that is what they want. It makes me wonder if you will be decorating your greenhouse with spinners and metal art stakes. It my first home I have many such things, now I only have three pink flamingos, angle sculpture and some rocks that I painted
Have a beautiful day, sweet sis, @elizabethbit. Take care 🥰🌺🤙, lots of hugs and love 🤗💕.

I have painted a couple of rocks, and have all the goodies to do it with! Now, all I need is the time to do it......along with all the things I want to do! We do share a LOT of things in common, sis! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely evening! Much love and hugs......😘🤗😍🌸
I know, right?! But what did we expect... we are sisters (although we have not met each other in person, and perhaps will never meet ever), hehehe! 🤗💕
Well, never say never! I think sometime AC (after covid) we should have a, as @dfinney would say, West coast, best coast Hive gathering for all of us! That would be fun and cool. However right now, DC (during covid) it's a bit impossible. We can dream! Take care my sweet sis!💕🤗😘🌸
Did someone say “West Coast Best Coast”? 🤣😂
I am soooooo down!
Yes! I DID! However, we need to wait until AC (after corona).😔

This is a very cool yard. I love how they re-purpose everything to be colorful yard art, this is really awesome. And the pics with the sky changing color really make it.
I completely forgot about the post with the contest lol What a great surprise to start my day, thank you so much my friend.
That yard is a traffic stopper. Peeps always slow down to take a look at the whimsical front yard. The homeowners put a lot of years of love in that yard. So pretty!
CONGRATULATIONS again, my friend, @maddogmike. 5 Hive was directly transferred to your wallet!
Have a wonderful week ahead, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

Congratulations @maddogmike!!🤗
You Win my friend!!!!🤗
How is your day going. I haven't got anymore silver recently sadly
It is going very well, my dear friend, @teenagecrypto, and thanks for asking! Stacking silver very often. It is more like getting silver when you can afford to do so, one ounce at a time! You are most definitely ahead of the game than many people who do not stack at all. You are slowly building your portfolio of precious metals, and before long, you will have so much! Believe me.... slow and steady wins the race!
Have a great week, my friend, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I think you run one of the most fun profiles! Always so positive, always generous with your words, and very generous with prizes that come out of your pocket. You create an interactive atmosphere. Something so many strives for.
You got it! Congratulations to @maddogmike!! Well done!

Hahaha! 😂 "Whimsical" is the word. They are very artistic and colorful and innovative! Hahaha! 😍 I love it. Those spoons and forks! 😂
Are the owners your friends? Or is this place open to the public? That anyone could just go and take picture of their art?
Thank you for sharing. 😊
One can tell that the owners put a lot of time, effort, and LOVE into the garden decors of their front yard. I do not know them... yet. But one of these days I may knock on there door, just to thank them for the smiles they brought so many people who pass by. And THANK YOU for stopping by and leaving a comment, my friend @gingbabida! HOw are you doing today?
Have a great week, and take care 🥰🌺🤙
!tip
Oh yes! It sure requires a lot of time to do all that! I thought you knew the owners because you have lots of pictures of their yard! Hahaha! 😂
I am good, thank you for asking. How about you?

Awesome post as always @silversaver888!!🤗
I know I have said this before, but your post......You put so much into this my friend!!!!
I always enjoy clicking on your post, usually the last post of the night so I can enjoy!!!
Take care my friend!!😍😍😀
Thank you for appreciating my articles. And you are right... I don't have the natural skill for writing nor am I creative at all and so it personally takes a lot of effort from me, and I challenge myself to stay within the timeline of not spending more than an hour to create an article. I just do not have the luxury of time. I am encouraged a lot when I receive comments like yours. Thank you. That gives a fuel to do another one today.
Have a great day, my friend @silvertop, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

Isn't it strange how we can be our worst critic, and others see nothing but the best! I have stood up in front of hundreds people and played my guitar on our worship team. There were times when we were finished none of us thought we did the best that day, and others in the church came up and told us how they were touched! Carry-on my friend...😍😍😀
Hehehe... how true! Thanks for reminding me to be more grateful. 🥰🌺🤙

I have always loved yard art made of junk. Many years back, I entertained the thought of learning to weld so I could make some myself ! ..... but alas I never did.
It was fun to see your photos and videos.
There are things that I wish I have learned to do earlier! But there is truth to the saying that it is never too late to learn something new. In the past, I was a spender and wasted money on fluff and stuff and could not save anything of value. I learned to save in precious metals (silver and gold) only a few years back. I learned the habit of saving money as well in the process. I think that this was one of the things I did right and a life changer as far as finances are concerned.
I appreciate you stopping by and viewing this article, and leaving a comment. I just followed you! Take care🥰🌺🤙
