Actually it is cute as a puppy, but will you enjoy it on the 500th sighting?

Sure, when the 500th visitor sees it for the 1st time, I would enjoy it.
;-)

Whimsy at it best, imo, isn't out in the open, but somewhat hidden and
should take a bit of looking by the visitor to "see" it. Does that make
sense? i.e. behind or beside a bush that somewhat hides it, just enough
shows that the curious will go around the bush for a full view.

Though I love the idea of them appearing to pitch it off the top of a
waterfall, perhaps a broke one laying in the pool below. (Someone would
really have to hate garden gnomes.) Now ceramic figures of politicians....

THAT'S wonderful! You have a talent. Now I say, go for it.

I have always hated ceramic donkeys pulling a cart, usually with a
sleeping serape draped driver. I want to work your idea into my pond
scene. Is it copyrighted?

Oooo! Political garden gnomes....
(I used to bury politicians in my front yard for Halloween.)
I went looking. Could only find the current President has been
memorialized in garden gnome form. Probably not enough turn
around time to gnome-ize our current applicants for the job.
And takes us into muddy pond waters - ponds and politics don't
mix unless you want to turn that stunning fountain at the White
House into a pond - full of lotus - how pretty!

Btw, there are no real politicians buried in k's yard, it was just fake
headstones with epithets about such. ;-) ~ jan

Damn! I thought she deserved some kind of award, but if they're not
_really_ there ...

Of course, it would be shame if you buried politicians in your yard, and the
dogs dug them up again.

The dogs have more sense than that! Let buried politicians lie.
