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.
Last year's Christmas drawings for our cards came in handy to make these ornaments.
Shipping only until December 16, 2005.

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).

This ornament has hung on our various Christmas trees for at least fifty years. Since it is made of a very delicate glass, and endured many long-distance moves - that in itself is a miracle.
Piggy Christmas ornament. My bf and I pick one(or a few) out for ourselves each year at Pure One Imports.
My Bf fell in love with this one:)
Vintage ornaments on an artificial tree at my parents' home in Sutton, Quebec. I remember hanging these same decorations during my childhood, year after year, in the 1950s and '60s. During a Christmas visit in 1991, I thought to photograph them, and I'm glad that I did, because eventually they disappeared into whatever mysterious place lost items go. Well... they were only "things"... and my mom valued people, not possessions.
A Merry Christmas et Joyeux Noël to all my Flickr friends!

There is apparently an old Germanic tradition to hide a single pickle ornament on the xmas tree, and whoever finds it first gets to open the first present.
Yes, that's right. This Newtonmas, Joshua and I will be playing "hide the pickle."
Chieftan Hood Ornament from a vintage Pontiac. Photographed at the Salton Sea in Bombay Beach at the Ski Inn Restaurant. The owner of the car was a local guy and just so proud of his 'restoration'. The car purred like a kitten but the body needed a little more work...well a LOT more work actually :-)

This was part of George's ornament collection when we got married and I was instantly drawn to it because it was so exotic and colorful. I asked George the history of this ornament expecting an equally exotic story. His mother was born and raised in China and George was born in Sri Lanka so there was real potential in getting a good story. But no. His mom just gave George this ornament a couple years before we met because he likes elephants. It isn't an old family heirloom. It didn't come from Sri Lanka. There is no real significance behind it. George likes elephants so his mom got him an elephant ornament. End of story.
Google Photos created a "Stylized" version of my original photo and I liked the exaggerated colors so that's what I've posted here - the Stylized version.
I love this ornament partly because it was one of the many ornaments my eldest son received and partly because it represents everything a young boy loves. Trains, transportation, Christmas, magic. It also reminds me of the Polar Express. I love that movie.
Let’s decorate the Christmas tree! Come on, everyone, grab your favorite ornaments and get busy!

This ornament is on the USA Christmas tree at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI... another one from 2017 recently edited.

Una definizione di architettura che sfiora la perfezione è quella formulata da Adolf Loos, architetto complesso e geniale che scrisse il famoso articolo "ornamento e delitto".
La definizione è la seguente:
"Se in un bosco troviamo un tumulo lungo sei piedi e largo tre, disposto con la pala a forma di piramide, ci facciamo seri e qualcosa dice dentro di noi: qui è sepolto un uomo. Questa è architettura".
Analizzando la frase, con l'aiuto di una spiegazione che Antonio Monestiroli ci fornisce in una sua lezione, ci accorgiamo della profondità e dei molteplici livelli di interpretazione che essa comporta.
Innanzitutto incontriamo il senso del luogo, il "genius loci" dei latini, perchè ci troviamo in un bosco e questo porta delle suggestioni e una predisposizione d'animo diversa da quelle che possono suscitare altri luoghi. Poi incontriamo un qualcosa di artificiale, il tumulo, appunto, e si rende evidente l'attrito tra l'elemento naturale, il bosco e quello artificiale, il tumulo. Inoltre ci facciamo seri, questo significa che l'architettura nel suo contesto suscita in noi un'emozione, quindi ci predispone in maniera giusta rispetto a quello che stiamo per affrontare.
Loos poi ci da altre indicazioni, ci dice che il tumulo è stato costruito con una pala, quindi il simbolo della tecnologia umana che permette all'uomo realizzazioni altrimenti impossibili con le sole mani, la forma di piramide che ha significato simbolico e che possiede delle dimensioni riferite alla scala umana (6 piedi x3) e un preciso rapporto tra le due dimensioni. La forma è inoltre rappresentativa della sua destinazione, ci è infatti sin da subito chiaro che è una tomba, senza per questo essere degli studiosi di architettura. Emerge quindi non un raccontino ma una vera e propria sintesi del significato dell'architettura per la cultura occidentale ed in particolare viene suggerito il rapporto che si stabilisce tra la forma di una architettura ed i valori e significati che essa si propone di veicolare.
La bellezza di un edificio o di un'opera d'arte sta tutta in questo riconoscimento che avviene dentro di noi in maniera quasi inconsapevole.
Una società che riuscisse a comprendere la profondità di questa definizione e ad attuarla nella quotidianità, sarebbe sicuramente una società culturalmente molto evoluta e cosciente di sé.

We’ve collected gold-colored ornaments, for our living room tree, for many years. This one (in the center) was purchased in Florence, Italy.
Metalic DIY Series Qees pose with some ornaments I got at the Dollar Tree store. We didn't put the tree up but will hang these around the house with some other Dollar Tree ornaments.

The mixer is a Hallmark ornament. The rolling pin, cookie cutters, spoons, whisk and the red-topped Decors jar are all from another Hallmark ornament set. Most of the rest is Re-ment, except for the jars on the left that are various jars I filled.
