A MOST LOVELY GARDEN SURPRISE

Share:

Rarely do I have occasion to see my neighbors’ yards in daylight these days. On weekdays most dog walks happen at dusk or later and on weekends we head to the beach whenever possible. So it was a most pleasant surprise when I spotted something surprising in a neighbor’s yard when stiff winter winds forced us to walk on the road this weekend.

I’m not sure I would have even spotted this gem had I not glanced in the direction one of the dogs was detouring toward, but it caught the corner of my eye.

Do you see it?

How about now?

It’s a small tree that has been spray-painted acid green (the same color, I think, as my obelisk). I don’t know anything about this tree, whether it’s dead or alive (I can’t think spray paint is good for a living tree, but I’ll keep a close eye on it in spring), or who meticulously painted every bit of it.

It’s not in a particularly important part of their yard, which was massively re-landscaped a few years ago, but that’s what I love about it. It’s a little surprise in an area that would be otherwise overlooked.

I love it so much that I’m going to keep an eye out for a dead little tree in our woods that I could do the same thing to.

 What do think about spray-painting trees? Love it or leave it?
