Nope, got it from the street. The house is in the corner of Murdock Blvd and Churchill St in the Union Park neighborhood of Orlando.

Here are some public art pieces along a busy road that goes down to I-10. They light up at night. I think they look like pink olives in cocktail glasses.

And this lovely bird was on someone’s gates. Alas, I didn’t get my bike in the photo as the guy who lives there was glowering at me from the sidewalk to the right of me. I explained my non-threatening mission but he wasn’t convinced.

I have been wanting to photograph these statues for a long time, but their backs face the street.
Today, since it’s Bonus Yard Art day, I cycled in the driveway and walked across the grass to get this picture.
Located in the 200 block of N. Cherry Street in Falls Church, VA.

The art has to be “discernible” and I could not discern what is in that pic even after zooming in, so this doesn’t qualify. However, you have another 24 hours to earn bonus points, so feel free to go back and get some better pics. Ride & seek!

Those are the real deal; I spoke to the owners once, and they lived in China and brought them back to Falls Church. I love how they decorate their Qin Shi Huang soldiers to match whatever holiday it happens to be. You were also at the portal to the wormhole of magic, as a real magician lives at the opposite portal to the Qin Shi Huang soldiers!

1/24/22 Art all over Park City. Great murals and cool sculptures along the bike/xc paths made of junk. Second one I forgot to put my bike in front and first one isn’t as cool

Bonus entry: House in the 5700 block of Sherier Street NW has several pieces of public art on it, but I liked this one the best.

No attempt at a bonus for this one, but since it’s my second 10 mile ride of the day, I thought I’d get a second #publicartfinder. This is from (where else?) the Berliner restaurant on Water Street NW.
