Saturday Photo: Lion-hearted Small Garden

Our neighbor across the street Tri Du and his family have been transforming the small plot in front of their house into a marvel. Last year they placed several large rocks artfully, and planted some interesting perennials, producing a calm, zen effect.

This year they've gone further, with more rocks that remind me of the Chinese gardens I saw in Shanghai, Singapore and, yes, in the Montreal Jardin botanique. The latest additions are two large stone lions which guard the steps on the front porch. Here's what one of them looked like earlier this week, before the vine which covers the front of the house leafed out completely.
