Dogs in the Landscape

Scale, age, patina, quality, & placement; these dogs have IT.Just Let It Touch, above. The Tara Rule, foliage & focal points just touching, a winning combination.
Quiet elegance.
Lamp, shutters, leaded glass, stucco color, plantings, & dog, above, great simplicity. Simplicity so great Puppet Barbuda imagines a Jane Austen novel written/lived here.
Seeing, above, Puppet Barbuda KNOWs it wasn't done by a landscape company (you know, Poppets, mow-blow-go-testosterone-on-wheels). It reeks of Hand-Heart-Eye. AKA: charm, passion, spirit, desire, intent, choices, joy, love, intellect.

    This dog looks better behaved than the live ones in my landscape.
    Seriously, I love the way the sculpture looks soft and touchable while we know it's actually rock hard. The plantings around it make such an elegant display.

    And I'm a firm believer in dogs in the landscape.
