Hillier Gardens, Hampshire  I don't have the patience for wildlife photography - which is why I'm very grateful to the Hillier Gardens, between Romsey and Winchester, for having an "Art in the Garden" exhibition on at the moment.  Lisa and I visited on Saturday - a pure co-incidence, as we set out for an impulsive day-and-a-bit away after some fairly intensive work schedules, and with the knowledge that - contrary to the rest of the world which seems to be slowing down - we're speeding up!Some 130 works of art are spread around the arboretum, and I find myself spoilt for choice in which to show you. Both the samples I've chosen today are clearly representational of nature and wildlife - but there are plenty of geometric shapes and other more abstract clevernesses too. Whether these are art or whimsy, I question ...  There's a great temptation to explain comedy, but I think many of the people who see this picture will "get it" straight away, and most of the rest will enjoy thinking about it. This one struck me as a tautology (I hope I have that word right!) with the same point being made twice. Lisa surprised me with this one - apparently the term it represents isn't in common use in the USA; ah - but we're less than a month from the "Glorious 12th" And the last two are nothing at all to do with the animal in who's outline the second shape is cut, but I still enjoyed the wordplay. Very much '60s. Will the younger generation get this one?And just in case you need to know ...
