Don't you just love this beautiful piece of "yard art." You know - those things people place in their yard for whatever reason. This red wagon sits at the bottom of a neighbors long driveway surrounding by an immaculate landscaped yard and a pond further up. Yes, you can see the hay in this photo I took in the spring when the lawn was being cut for the first time; but trust me it is always very well groomed. The red wagon is an impressive showpiece by any measure and is well placed to highlight the yard and the wagon itself. On the other hand take a look at the next photo of "yard art" I took while out driving with my Mom. We both were left speechless.
If you don't get too distracted you might just notice the red fire hydrant with the little dog there in the middle of the photo. You might also notice the red paper box. IF, you can get past all the other objects in the yard. Just a little bit of an overstatement wouldn't you say!!!

Oh, my goodness! Wouldn't you just hate to live next door to that little menagerie. What's scary is I have the feeling that it's only half finished... The wagon, on the other hand, is beautiful. Nice Ruby Tuesday.
I love yard art as long as it doesn't look like a gnome cemmetary.
I love the wagon! My husband took me to a house today that has no lawn, just paths, water gardens and flowers. It was amazing.
Beautiful red wagon!
I won't comment on the busy yard, lol.
How would you like to mow that busy yard? Yikes!
Gnome cemetery! LOL!
What fun yard art is! We have a bunch of yard sale cats that hide in and about our shrubberies. I love the red wagon, it is very striking.
I vote for the wagon. The other yard is a little too much!
I love the red wagon. It brings back memories of when I was a kid and we would hook our horse to a wagon like that (not pretty an red like that one) and go places. How can you keep from being distracted in the other picture? :)
I am not a fan of yard "art". I like my yard simple, critter friendly and low maintence. Funny, "hay", "gnome cemmetary"
Cool meme, I gota start looking for "red" so I can play.
Both are excellent!! Of course, there's something to be said for a nice neat yard with a beautiful red wagon, but the second shot is fantastic!! Not that I would do that to my front yard, but I applaud the owners for their creativity, I think it's beautiful!!!
Yes I dO love the red wagon! I laughed at the bottom picture - thinking that my husband would wipe out that little menagerie with one pass of his lawn tractor! But then I got thinking... maybe the owner got BORED with cutting grass - and so he needed to provide himself a CHALLENGE! Oy! Yea... there is a difference between yard "art" and yard "clutter"...
Carletta: Loved the first photo but the second yard looks like someone pulled a prank on them.
Oh my, now that's a lot of Garden Kitsch, yikes! I love the red wagon...
Some people's idea of art is just a little different from the mainstream. That one is a classic. Pappy
Not sure I'd want to live next door to a PINK pig LOL. Great captures for the ruby theme Carletta!
love the red wagon and the background is so clean and simple - gives such a feeling of open air
the second shot on the other hand ... LOL
one person's art is another person's nightmare ;)
the red wagon is gorgeous!
as for that yard... pft. chacun a son gout as they say
That first picture, Carletta, is definitely a work of art! The second made me laugh - some people just lose it and it all gets out of hand! Ha! Great Ruby Tuesday post! :)
The red wagon is gorgeous, and so is that garden!
The one below on the other hand is just a little bit too busy for my taste!
I believe "less is more!"
Carletta,
Oh! I just LOVE that red wagon!
You have the neatest things in your world!!!
My Ruby Tuesday is up, too!
Junie
Love both the yards!
The red wagon is stunning, a view of an object meant for work yet a work of art.
The brick trim on both houses is also red (sort of...)
What a beautiful red wagon! What a great prop that would make for portraits!!
I love the red wagon. The other yard could stand to lose a few things.
Tee hee. I think someone got a bit carried away. LOL
The red wagon...perfect and I love that type of yard "expression". The other one...oh no...would not like that near me unless the owner was a really wonderful dear friend!
I wonder how in the world they mowed the lawn with all that stuff sitting there. Cute shot!
That wagon I'd love to have full of flowers change for each season
Finally catching up with Ruby Tuesday entries.
I love the red wagon "yard art" you photographed. simple and beautiful
The other yard decor, not so much ;-)
I must admit I'm a gnome-lover (referring to second commenter)
