Some of the items on the scavenger hunt weren’t on private property but rather on lamp posts, like this one created in 2014 by sculptor Charles Bergen, who says: “At the intersection of two streets, the piece celebrates two dinosaurs, portraying the carnivorous Capitalsaurus chasing the feathered and flightless Falcarius. The Capitalsaurus is of particular significance to Washington D.C. In 1898 bones of this dinosaur -- also known as Creosaurus Potens -- were discovered while excavating for sewage piping."

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society has a "whimsical" scavenger hunt on their website in which you're given a large number of addresses on the Hill (along with pictures with no addresses), at which people have works of "art" in their front yards. Some of them are quite showy, some are small and rather ordinary, but we spent the afternoon tracking most of them down, and these are the resulting pictures. The society first introduced this tour last year but was again promoting it for their 2021 Mother's Day "Tour of Tours," so we thought we'd take them up on the challenge. Which it definitely was.
Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
