It is much harder to find a definitive source for that picture, but it also
appears to be borrowed from somewhere.

It was reversed for the fake Lowe's ad, but it has also appeared in other
places before, according to Google reverse image search.  Based on that
search, I found an older version of the small crane photo, too, but it is
also hard to verify the origin. Neither of the cranes seem to be CC
licensed, but it is possible that the original was CC or public domain.

Ahhh, so they just Photoshopped those models into the photo.  Here I thought 
they had folded them and artfully placed them on the grass.

Are we to assume that the crane dog-house is also a result of Photoshop too?  
The Dream Dog House Collection is a April's Fools joke (says so on the very 
bottom of page.

Some people are having trouble loading up the photo from my links.  So, here it 
is again:

If that doesn't work, trying going via my web site:
http://www.origami-resource-center.com/origami-blog-2014.html
  


 

Also, I will try to forward the image as an attachment.

If you look closely, there are 4 other origami models pictured in the
grass. A triceratops, a crane, a rabbit, and a tortoise.  It is a bit hard
to tell, due to the size, but I feel like I have seen that specific
instance of that tortoise model before... on my desk.

p.s.
triceratops https://www.flickr.com/photos/emraya/2929959881/
rabbit https://www.flickr.com/photos/origamiancy/3596559230/

p.p.s. All three of these have been labeled as CC Attribution or, in my
case, CC Attribution-ShareAlike, although I do not see any attribution or
licensing terms on the lowes page.  I suspect that the designer used the
Google Image Search advanced feature to find images "labeled for reuse"
without investigating the details.

It is a dream dog house with a paper crane on top.  Though, they call it a swan.


Ack! I hate the way yahoo is converting my links to non-links.  Anyone know how 
to turn it off?
