I don't recall seeing pictures of giant clover flowers in Normandy, but your dirt road and use of the grass looks great!

I no there was no big clover flowers in Normandy but this was part of my lawn and the best suitable location for it.

"giant clover flowers in Normandy"

It was a pre-landing deception plan dropped behind enemy lines to confuse the enemy.

Very nice setup and photos. Living in an apartment I wish I could do some of that outdoor stuff. Unfortunately the neighbors cat would probably run of with some figures while their dog used the tanks as fire hydrants and their kids would practice tap dancing on what was left. lol

Yes it is my back yard. I have about 1 acre of land so this was a tiny piece of it.
