I could not resist one more photo... and this may be perfection. Small. Nice. The feedback and comments I'm getting here are simply invigorating. (Thanks).
This is from Thailand. Those Asians know things, don't they?
Maybe I'm onto something! As Annie from Austin suggested, topiary points of interest.
This is part of my ongoing fascination-of-the-hour: Topiary Day Dreams and Scottie Hedge. These don't look so easy. Those ears...

This isn't topiary but a different kind of shaping with woody plants:

whoa! THIS IS AMAZING TOO! It is becoming VERY obvious to me that my life will not be long enough to do everything I want to do. I'm not gonna let this get me down.

The topiary bunnies in Hugh Heffner's garden are quite different than the ones pictured above... also he has very enthusiastic, female gardeners that eagerly invite you to go behind the hedges.
Daddy likes gardening.

I don't know... they look kind of eerie to me. Like when you see them from the front instead of from the back you'll see blood dripping from white fangs as they wait for the little people to leave the big house and head their way...
