It has been a beautiful spring week in Virginia. Taking a break from laboring on the house, I took a walk around the new neighborhood, camera in hand. Just 2 blocks away at the Theological Seminary, there are 2 fabulous gargoyles, one of which boasts being the largest gargoyle in the city.
The other "gargoyle" gets my vote for being the funniest.
I believe my guy will be right comfortable amongst them!
Note: Gargoyles are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits. Technically my guy is a grotesque. A grotesque figure is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. He belonged to my mother-in-law and always makes me smile.
