In a park in Bad Oeynhausen, this pretty ensemble of old houses normally is open for public as a museum. But in Corona times everything is closed so we can see the empty lawn only.

About ninety percent of the insects on my 'stream were captured in the beautiful little yard at our old house, but our new back garden is nothing but grass. My wife sees it as a blank canvas and will eventually turn it into a beautiful haven for wildlife!
Several years ago, I was given some cowslip plants as a birthday present. These have now multiplied in the garden and seeded themselves around. One has even grown up in the middle of the lawn and I was amused to see how much it resembled a rag doll. I just loved the big feet !

*11/2020 update -- This viaduct has been completely removed.
We haven't done the official Christmas stroll yet, so kinda light on the Christmas stuff now. This is a quick shot as I was driving around last night.
One of the three workers that come into the yard almost daily and using those strong talons, they aerate the lawn. I've arranged to pay them in fat grubs. All natural lawn care at it's finest.
In digital terms this is an old photo — 11 years old, actually. I am not sure why I haven't posted it until now. I guess I only like it moderately but not extremely.

This is nothing special, just the lawn in my garden after a rainy night. The morning was lovely and the raindrops sparkled in the sunshine. I took this photo for the simple reason that I was curious how it would turn out. :)
I was amazed at the beautiful design on this mushroom. Found two on the lawn, as you can see not much grass.
Morning dew on the tip of each leaf. The 'behind the scenes' of this shot is far less glamorous - imagine me still in my PJ's going out in the garden, kneeling down in the most awkward angles to get this ground level perspective. I received the good old eye-roll from my wife for doing this :-P
Bellis perennis. The French love these in salad, and why not? ☺️
And also the yellow flowers of dandelions!
The lawn got a bit out of control this summer. We had a very busy month before we left for two weeks in Europe, and by the time we got back it was too long for our handy little push mower to do anything other than mash it down like a bad comb-over.
So I went to Lowe's and bought a power mower. And assembled it. And it started on the first pull, and the earth shook, sparks flew, horrifically loud scraping metal sounds ... the engine was mounted incorrectly (that bit of handywork straight from the factory), and the new lawn mower was DOA.
So I brought it back to Lowe's. They said they'd replace it, but I had to remove the gasoline.
So I bought a gas can and a funnel (rather than drive all the way home and back), went out to the corner of the parking lot, and got in a good lawn-mower-lifting workout, holding it up in the air and twisting it around to try to drain the gas into the funnel. Most of the gas wound up on the pavement, or me; the day-labor guys sitting under the trees along Rainier Avenue had a good laugh. Then I went back into Lowe's, waited in line (again), returned it, got a new one, brought it home, assembled it (much more quickly the second time), and ... finally ... mowed the damn lawn.
Having rented for a few years before we bought our house last year, I had completely forgotten how much fun it is to have a yard. Next project: trimming the hedges.

This lawn decoration was in a courtyard area of my hotel in Paris and stands about 4 feet tall. It continually changed colors, cycling through blue, gree, yellow, and red. This was taken from my window. Fortunately for my sleeping, the curtains were very heavy. Since it is a unique (I think) lawn ornament, it is for 118 pictures in 2018, #98, ornament.
Lawn ornaments can be interesting. Some people do seasonal themes, others have the same items out all year. This farmer has taken lawn ornaments (and signs) to a whole new level. Zoom-in and view large… it’s crazy. Can you imagine mowing the lawn and weed-wacking around all that?
Photographed earlier today near West Chester, Iowa. From the east side of town, take Hemlock Avenue one country block south until you reach 230th Street. Look left (east).
