This one is of "The Sentinels" which are two rocks that will define an opening to the path that will go from the sidewalk to my front door. They are there to encourage people to not shortcut the corner. I do have one rock that is a bit larger, but it is so ugly that I couldn't put it out there.

To the left of The Sentinels in the picture, I'll be putting in Cistus as an evergreen, xeric hedge. On the right I am in process of creating a mounded up area for ornamental Oreganos. I have a number of red, layered, sandstone rocks that I'm going to use around the edges of the mound to keep it in place and to give the Oreganos something to cascade over. I took a picture of the mound of earth, but you can't even see that it is mounded hardly so I'll post a picture once there is something to see.
