PICTURE OF THE MOMENT
As a home inspector by trade, I get to visit all types of homes in all types of neighborhoods. Obviously it’s fun to inspect a home with 15,000 square feet, indoor pool, outdoor pool, movie theatre, game room, indoor skating rink, tennis courts, basketball court…. well, you get the picture. However, I think I have the most fun going to the boondocks because I just never know what I will find.
Across the street from a house I inspected recently were a couple of dead trees in the front yard. They looked like this:
I know removing dead trees is expensive but somehow I think having them carved into yard art is even more expensive. I do like what they did, though, especially the two young bears climbing the tree to get to that bee hive and all the delicious honey inside.

Those are really awesome pieces of art, especially the second one! Beautiful! And, who knows? Maybe the artist lives there 🙂

I’ve seen this type of art in vacation places and have always loved it. However, you’re right, it does seem more expensive, but who knows? They look great and much better than a dead tree!

Very creative…! It’s pretty obvious that this home is NOT in an HOA community!

Wow Russel, I want the bears and Zoey, how much would the cost be do you think to have them shipped to Aussie Land and yes I go camping on the Internet too but it’s because of a genetic defect catching up with me, but still thankfully I go places and see things like Tree bears that I never would have had the time to do if fit or should I say made the time to do…. there is a blessing in everything.
Thanks, great photos – Christian Love from us both – Anne.

I quit traveling after 9/11 as did many people, so the terrorists did have a significant effect on my life even though I and my friends were not directly affected. 2001 is when I seriously took up the Internet to do and see things that I otherwise would not unless I was watching a documentary or something.
