This is a familiar yard ornament for locals - although I bet you have never seen it in its naked, natural state. On Indian River Drive, just south of Walton Road, there is an intrepid artist, bent on entertaining us passersby, according to the season. We have seen this buoy painted up to look like a red and white fishing bobber, a Pokémon character, the Earth (with cloud cover) and even a jolly Santa. A Gentle Reader recently sent me a link to an article in the New York Times about the Wurman's house in Newport:http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2010/09/09/garden/20100909-who-slideshow-13.html They also have buoys in their yard - on a grander scale, as is to be expected.
I think our painter on Indian River Drive is more original, and generous in sharing a spherical vision.
