The Cowboy

 We saw this cowboy and his dog in front of a neighborhood house. I have never seen a decoration like this.



A few houses away, a black metal cat watched quietly from the shadows while I snapped.

I love the cowboy one because I'm a sucker for dogs. 😊

We have those cowboys (and some cowgirls) around here...a lot. But I've not seen the cat!! I'd like having that myself!!

The cowboy and the dog are pretty cool but I really love the cat.

I have seen many of the cowboys here in Florida over the past years, they line the ranches out east and on the highway 301 to GA... but never seen the cat and I LOVE the cat and would like it in my yard. I love cowboys and always have but would not want him on my porch unless it was a ranch..the cat is beautiful.

I like those decorations, Ginny! You live in a neighborhood of folks who love to decorate the outside of their homes, don't you. I wonder if they decorate the inside just as much? ~Andrea xoxo

Those are so cute. I really like the new metal bird sculptures that you pound into a tree. Some of the makers are metalbird and stillart. xoxo

It all is a lot of fun.

I've seen the cowboy decoration, but never with a dog. Very cool.

Mari said...

I like both of them. I've seen a few cowboys without the dog, but never say a cat decoration like that.

Your neighborhood must include lots of enthusiastic outdoor decorators!

Love the lawn art. I haven't seen anything like that around here though.
The quote about the beans was funny.

You sure find lots of interesting things to photograph. I like the Ciwboy and Cat.
