Garden Castle
In the car lay-by garden, partly hidden by some hostas and forget-me-nots, there used to be a small castle. I would have lots of fun imagining which room I would have liked to live in.

The castle kept getting too overgrown with plants, and I'd drag it out into the open. Initially a couple of small ferns attached themselves to its side, making it look even more picturesque and mysterious. More ferns grew, swamping the Hostas. And then, alas, the weather stepped in. Gradually more and more of the little towers crumbled and broke.

It was certainly an ephemeral, symbol of the strength of nature to reclaim the garden. Perhaps it was a bit of whimsical Garden Art. I'm rather sorry that it's falling to pieces.
