foo dogs keeping guard!

New additions to your garden Fourseasons.....they look great .....

I wish I could teleport myself down to your garden - I'd want to land in the jungle and spend at least an hour or two just meditating there! No other visitors would be allowed of course...just me, the water, the birds and the colours.....and peace!

This is wonderful,looks so relaxing!

Those red foo dogs are a brilliant touch! Such a beautiful area.

I love the colour of the dogs...and the scale too. Good choice :-)

Excellent garden. Like the setting wish I had a larger garden

Wow that's beautiful, looks like a scene on a postcard!

What 'are' foo dogs, Four Seasons ?

These are chinese dogs - the red ornaments. Male dogs (like ours) have a ball under one foot; the female dogs have a cub under one foot.

How interesting, how did you come to hear of them ?

We visited China. But before this, we had been searching out oriental ornaments - mainly from the Henri Studio range. We liked the red ones since they stood out in the winter when the red acer foliage had gone. We then found ornaments in other ranges that we liked, too, but they weren't red. We realised that we could use the paint refurbishing kit from Henri and paint any ornaments we liked. The paint kit starts with a bright pillar box red paint which is overlaid with a black paint. The black is mainly rubbed off - leaving the darker areas in the creases. A matt varnish is then applied.

Very clever :-))

what a tranquil place!I think I will develop something like this in my backyard.

It's beautiful, I love the pagoda :)

is it china？beautiful。

Have you posted a close up of the dogs?

looks amazing

I was thinking of getting Foo Dogs for the entrance to my house. Was thinking kind of turquoise blue or red. I like how your Foo Dogs stand within the planting and are quite tall. Red also works really well with your landscape!

The red shows up in the winter and is a welcome sight in the snow and frost.

VERY NICE :)

This all looks very tranquil & a great spot for a touch of meditation.
