Seems like a lot of people like to put little statures or plastic animals in their yard. The previous owner of the house we bought a few months ago left several of these. I first pic shows two frogs. the one holding the leaf was in plain sight when we moved in. I decided to dig up a large, half buried flower pot on the edge of one side of the yard and found the laying down frog buried beside the pot. Guess they didn't like little froggie. I do.
The owl and the deer we found under a pile of junk in one of the sheds out back. The owl has a hole in his base that lets him sit on a fence post. It is one of the ones that the head is on a swivel and when the wind blows it moves. With the sun behind him he looks almost real. But the birds don't think so. I have seen them sit right beside it on the fence.
I think these are called gazing balls. Seems like a plant nursery I used to work far sold them. Never cared for them but couldn't bring my self to throw them out. the wheel was laying on the ground and when I picked it up I found a little rose bush struggling to survive. It has stood up and put on a couple of blooms since I took the wheel off of it.
I wouldn't have moved this big concrete basket either. In fact it will probably sit there forever. Aparently there used to be a tree there as we found a big tree stump under the basket when we were trying to figure out what we might do with it. The little boy with his dog on a bench didn't come with the basket as they turned out to be plastic.
