I know the butterflies are rather kitsch, but hey! I'm not out to win prizes with this garden. It's to give me pleasure. The jar is quite a focal point in the garden - you cannot exactly miss something that large, and certainly not that colour! However, blue isn't the only thing in the garden though. There are a number of decorative items around the garden such as the ones on the next few pictures: 1. Picture #1 shows the 'secret garden' where a sleeping cherub (actually its a putto because it doesn't have wings) sleeping on a large stone ball. #2 shows the poolside where, next to the jug that allows the water back into the pool, a small boy sits contemplating the water. #3 shows a Japanese influence with a lantern sitting on the rocks. Nearby is a bamboo which completes the image. I'm not sure if the frog is in keeping with a Japanese theme, but as I said before I'm not out to win prizes. Yes! I know - the dragonfly is more kitsch. Sometimes things disappear in the garden. I know that is hard to believe when you consider how small the garden is! This woodpecker keeps hiding in the ivy that grows all round it.
Sometimes I forget to keep the ivy trimmed back and later have a nice surprise when I uncover it again.

There is something so right, in my
opinion, about blue in the garden. If you have been this far then you will
certainly be aware that I have many )or is that too many?) blue pots in the garden, including the jar
shown in this picture (click on it to get a larger view):
