Not your usual garden gnome


Garden gnomes (die Gartenzwerge) are very popular in local gardens. They're usually rotund and jovial creatures, with long white beards and a pointed red Santa hat. I was quite amused to find this hunter ... um, I mean forest ranger ... gnome, along with his prey: the hapless bunny. The garden is otherwise cloyingly cute so this scene really stands out. Are there popular garden ornaments where you live?

This is so funny. The poor bunny! Garden ornaments are very popular here too, many of them downright weird. Gnomes/rabbits/little wishing wells etc. are all very popular, as are (oddly enough) brightly painted wagon wheels and old pieces of farming equipment. I must take some photos..
