Yard Envy at the Grand Californian: Spring colors


The Grand Californian is a beautiful hotel.  Everything about the place is amazing from the giant lobby to the restaurants and bars.   Another thing I love about it is the landscaping.

Yard Envy at a Resort......The Montage in Laguna Part 1





The ocean there is so beautiful that you would think you were in Hawaii.



The landscaping is a brilliant choice of  desert plants with a lot of color.

They have placed benches to sit and take in the view all over the property

Check out the colors of the landscaping






Every direction you turn while on property looks like it should be a postcard




Seriously I feel like I'm in Maui

Yard Envy at the Mall????? Lazy Dog Cafe

I just love the look and style of this restaurant.  So yes yard envy at the mall.   They have an outdoor look with a fake stream and outdoor seating with a cool firepit area

I've always wanted a stream running through my backyard....which would be costly and not practical and need a lot of up keep.   The alternative is this style demonstrated by the Lazy Dog Cafe in Cerritos....The stream that isn't a stream.   I've seen this around town in front of some houses and this may be the way to go......It gives you the stream look without the stream maintenance


Here is a link to the restaurant's Page

YARD ENVY.......NOT SO MUCH

This weird Collection of Yard Features and statues ---leads to the question???
What must the inside of the house look like?



The Fake Plaster Birds flock to this garden


It's a Bug World....They should charge admission and give tours of this home


The Red Angel guards over the garden of rocks and bird feeders and sundials....sure why not.

Hedge Serpents??  Something you don't see everyday....But their Neighbors do


When one yard gator isn't enough ?     They had 4

How many strange yard items can you spot in this picture?
