There were a couple posts in the old forums with this very theme in them, about people creating outdoor altars in natural settings... Which inspired me to do the same in my own yard...
I've limited room in my yard, as most cityfolk do... I've managed to squeeze a small garden and pond around my apple tree and small porch. I found a wonderful statue of Gaia at a gardening store, so I brought it home. While camping one weekend in May, there was this tree stump that had been chopped down, and the roods had been excavated and has since dried, so I put that in the trunk of my car and brought it home (I had to trim the roots a bit). Its starting to look very cool, I've progressively been decorating it with candles and terra cotta pots of plants, gnomes and faeries...
Anyone else have outdoor altars? I could use a bit more inspiration....
