Hide and Seek

One of the fun elements of the at home version of the Yard Art Game is taking the time to review your find. Take this yard for instance, the full appreciation can only be obtained by enlarging the photo to its full size to find the little surprises. Do you remember the joy of finding a fresh Highlight that some loser had not circled the hidden pictures?

CTWD comments and submits:

"We had no idea there was a bird sanctuary in the neighborhood. Managed by the massive Yellow Pelican and watched over by not one but two Golden Hawks. Home to the very rare Yellow Cardinal."

Yellow Cardinals foretell the coming of the Percival the Destroyer
uh oh, its too late. Percy has his beady yellow eye on you...Field Reporters are ever in peril

  1. I love pelicans! All I can do is pray for our buddies down in the gulf. Funny video. Nice to see you're still at it, yard-art spy!

  2. Thanks Flower Spy. The TV footage of the pelicans and other birds down on the Gulf is just heart-rending.
