Perhaps not quite as unusual as some of the others in this strand owing to the date, but I’m delighted by this recent transformation on my way into town. On Thursday I had to make my way around a lorry parked on the pavement with a delivery of scaffolding. Then look what the owners did to take advantage of the situation ready for Hallowe’en the next day!
Unusual front gardens — a short introduction to this piece.
Unusual front gardens: Quick Notes
I spotted the owner as I took this photograph and congratulated her as best I could whilst shouting across the busy traffic between us. She was delighted with my reaction and told me they’re having work done on their house’s drainpipes. What quick thinking to make something amusing out of much needed building work 👌👏😍

**Celestial Tendrils in Bloom**
The starship seeds have taken root,
their scales now wings, the soil their womb.
They hum in hues no eye has wept—
their petals plague the moon’s old bloom.
Beware the vines with gravity’s sigh,
that crawl in dreams where grasslands kneel.
They map the clouds, then hum *I am*,
a dirge for dust, a wanton wheel.
But morning hushes, soft and green,
as antennas bloom like dandelions.
The garden breathes—quiet, forgiving,
absorbing worlds in colossal motions.
