The Painted Rocks Of Warren Street

(photo credit: Walking and talking)

Some may be decorating eggs for Easter Sunday, but others here in Carroll Gardens are painting rocks.
The photos above were sent to me by 'Walking and Talking' who reports:

Whatever you are decorating or celebrating, enjoy the week-end.

Obviously, the new owner (or the realtor) has a sense of humor.

Carroll Street between Nevins and 3rd Avenue

But wait...
Could it be?
Is this what I think it is?
Did someone actually plant fake grass around the sidewalk tree pit?

Oh, and the blue flowers? Fake as well.
