Once I was explaining to someone why I love the music of Gustav Mahler.  In part, I like his depictions of nature.
"His music has things living in it,"  I said.  The music mimics bird songs, and the sounds of animals, both real and mythical, demons, trolls, ogres and the like.
This lead to the idea of having my garden inhabited with strange little creatures, living under leaves and amidst the greenery, looking after things.  Despite their appearance, they don't intend to be frightening, merely surprising.  If they startle you, it's all done in good fun and for their own amusement.
And mine.
