I know I promised a couple of you photos from my town’s Christmas parade that was held tonight. But on the way to the parade, I came upon a non-advertised Festival of Tackiness in a neighborhood that I didn’t know existed until today. I know this sounds shallow, but I sincerely hope I never stumble upon this neighborhood again. At least not at night. But being a brave and independant Texas woman, I ventured forth with my camera raised.
Though it looks like two photographs, it’s just two versions of the same scene as I found it had to be observed twice before the complete “stun” set in.
This unfortunate home had so much crap in the yard that the owner, (not wanting to look bad to his neighbors by forsaking Christmas) decided to just decorate OVER the pre-existing crap. Though there were some other dandy shots I took at this home, I think the willow branch reindeer placed near the tilted boxer was the centerpiece of this owner’s vision for his Christmas display
The close up version lets you get a more intimate look at the display. The bearded gnome clearly represents the elves at Santa’s workshop. The tilted boxer and cocker spaniel are obviously guarding the sheep abiding in the fields because the angel fell asleep on the job. And the big flower is the perfect embodiment of the star shining in the East to guide the boxer, cocker spaniel, elf and lit up reindeer to Bethlehem.
(Shhhhh! Walk quietly… the Angel is sleeping!)
LOL. that dog is the funniest lawn ornament I have ever seen!
