From the cutting room floor

This is the second time I've gone to shoot the Labyrinth mural and it's had a car parked there:

Okay, I cannot figure this out:



Is it... an impressionistic take on a Little Free Library? It looks like one from a distance. That is one of the standard shapes and there are a fair few on the street.

There are three Little Free Dog Libraries with sticks, bones and treats that I know of, but I don't think this is one.

Also, it's far back on the property with no path. You have to walk right up to the front window to get to it.

Anyone have a theory? I can't imagine someone went 'let's make a thing that looks like it has books, but then you get close and nope!'.

I would think if it's a bug/bee/wasp hotel that it would need to have little holes in it for the bees to pollinate etc. (Coincidentally, I'm working on projects at work that are about bee and frog hotels and I haven't seen anything like this so far.) Maybe it's there to hold all the chunky sticks people find?

I also didn't even know there were libraries for dog sticks!

I see set ups like this a lot: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y2Hj3RqHL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

But again, usually away from the house and not right next to it.

Oh yeah, there is one near me but I don't have a great picture of it.

The main compartment of this is sticks and balls, and the side thing is treats: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/657837637574328329/939697376233414666/IMG_8770.JPG

It's cute, but I haven't figured out a way to really show what it is in one picture. Another that I have shot actually has a sign that's like 'Lucky Dog Stick Library' or something, which helps!

Yes! That's what I would expect if it was a hotel for bugs. There doesn't seem to be a place where they can nest in the one you have above. (I also agree... I'd imagine the hotel would be away from the house for safety?) I wonder if you'll be able to uncover this really important mystery!

OMG I've never seen this before for dogs! This is incredible! I love that they have biscuits, too—the dogs deserve it, of course. I love how where you live has such a strong sense of community.
