A pair of metal birds standing on BIG rocks
Building a rock can often be a problem and landscaping it too. But one upscale neighbourhood in Bobcaygeon, Ontario, is making the most of their huge rocks.
A road runs along the backside of these lots so I was able to photograph the backyards from the street/
Smaller bird in amongst trees and small rocks
Hostas and ferns accompany this metal bird.
Gardens amongst the rocks
The rock is so attractive that statuary isn't necessary to maintain the elegant look of the neigbourhood.

The grounds really are tasteful in appearance. It's a nice sight to come across. Way to go Camera Girl!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscaping to accompany the art work. Must be a fun walk!
ReplyDeleteHi Camera awesome shots. I just want to say all those rock hunters I have a whole farm of them and they are cheaper if you pick or move them yourself:) B
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some big rocks like that in my garden. But we do have a wooden heron, so that is a step in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful landscaping!
ReplyDeleteElegant gardens indeed! I'm not always thrilled with yard art but these birds are lovely.

elegant and stunning. no back yards like that here, or if there are we can't see them. love those iron birds.
ReplyDeleteGone to the birds, I see.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely garden and most lovely with rocks! :) the metal birds are gorgeous and quite vibrant some of them.. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the metal birds.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed pretty settings.
ReplyDeleteI would think mother nature doesn't mind man's hand in decorating the great outdoors in this manner.
Wonderful captures!
i love those cranes and the metal heron, too!
ReplyDeleteRocks can look beautiful in gardens and become sculptures, too, amid the flowers and ornaments. The birds are so lovely and sleek I think I would put them in the front yard. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful neighborhood. They're definitely making the most of their rocks for landscaping. The metal birds are pretty, too, and look like they fit in.
ReplyDeleteThere is a whole other world out there from mine! What lovely places.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a garden! I'd invite you over to photograph it! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice change from pink plastic flamingos :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful neighborhood and I do love the cranes and birds and the way they've used the rocks! Really creative and terrific captures as always, EG! Enjoy your week!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteThat 3rd pic looks like a city park!
ReplyDeleteAnd I suspect you mean Bobcaygeon ON, as I couldn't find a Bobgaceon!
I really like the landscaping in these photos. 'Elegant' is an apt description for these yards.
ReplyDeleteNice elegant landscaping.

How elegant are those birds - and the gardens are outstanding - Jane
ReplyDeleteMade me think of the days when I used to drive to Gananoque, from Ottawa. There was a house just this side of Gan, with a HUGE rock, easily 20 feet high. They had planted all sorts of bulbs in the soil pockets, and it was a real joy in springtime...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful property!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely and serene captures. Yards offer so much beauty, often going unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteI love the hostas and bird in the second pic. These gardens look simple and lovely, but I have a feeling a paid gardener is involved.
