The Silver Springs Botanical Garden here in Calgary has added a couple of instantaneous-smile-generating sculptures to their collection. These little guys are pretty cute!
What are your tastes in garden ornaments and statuary?

Welcome to Flowery Prose! Growing words about writing, gardening, and outdoors pursuits in Alberta, Canada.
I’d love to have one in my garden.
I love their expressions – the artist had fun making them, I’m sure!
That is such a cute owl. I love owls. I’d love some yard art but I’m looking for a lovely large Angel reading a book, maybe St. Francis holding out a bird feeder and a good sized Buddha. I think that would about cover it all unless I found a funny gnome to add to the group. :))
Those all sound wonderful! I love that you might throw in a funny gnome with the more classic pieces! 🙂
I think I’m a little twisted and just hide it well. 😉
Ha ha awesome! 🙂
These are cute owls! I try not to have too much statuary in my garden as my husband is lethal with the mower and things go flying!
LOL that would be a deterrent, for sure!
😉
This is really cute. I love welded pieces even if most are out of my garden art budget. 🙂
Oh yes, I’ve seen some lovely ones as well…but you’re right, they tend to be quite costly.
I love them! Wish I could find one for sale – my friend is BIG into owls and I’d love to get her one for her garden. 🙂
Aren’t they so sweet? I’d like to find out who the artist is; I may have to email the garden and find out. He or she really did a lovely job.
Cute!!😺
Yes they are very cute
They do make you smile.
Yes – you can’t help it when you spot them! 🙂
As far as Garden chockskis, less is best maybe. I did just meet up Kathryn from WP The Lonely Dogs. at a ceramics studio in Red Deer. I painted a garden Mushroom and Kathryne a Snail. I have to drive back there to pick it up because it get’s fired in an oven and then glazed. I hope it tunes out ok.
That’s very cool! I love ceramic art. You’ve probably gone to pick it up by now (I’m painfully late with my replies!) – how did it come out?
You’re not late cuz I haven’t been to Red Deer yet. Company over the long weekend and today is my first day off work since then. I’m planning to toddle my way there today 😀 and BTW, oh the spelling ???? I hope it ‘turns’ out ok…LOL and I’m entirely uncertain it’s ‘Chockskis’, I hope you know what I meant, HA
I love this owl. My mom was crazy over owls so whenever I see one it reminds me od mom.

That’s so sweet!
Cute little guy!
I love owls. What charming stone sculptures.
They are really well done, aren’t they?
They are indeed.
I love the owls!
Cute. I don’t have much in my garden. Most everything I have put in the garden has ended up broken.
