Yard Art: Fish and Soles — Mid-City

Most of us have probably thought of this concept — let's immortalize our kids' sneakers in a big ceramic fish — but how many of us have actually done it? And then made it the centerpiece of our front landscaping? These folks deserve all the credit. On Allard in Mid-City

Yard Art: A Much Better Version, Don't Ya Think?

I love what this Uptowner did with this iconic statue profile. Very nice for the rainbow city. Notice the Mardi Gras beads and the Saints fleur de lis on the jacket.

 

Warning! — Bayou St. John

Ya been warned! Check out the sign on this door, along the bayou in Bayou St. John. At night, on my walks, I can see through the windows some amazing neon light sculptures inside. I've got to get in there one day (only if I'm invited, no break ins for me) and see them up close.

Yard Art: Orbs and a Fish — Mid-City

This tall and simple sculpture has several orbs that look like they were thrown on a potter's wheel, as well as one cute fish. Nearby sit a few big objects that look like dinosaur eggs. I keep expecting something to hatch each time I pass by. On Dumaine in Mid-City.
