G is for Gargoyle
ABC Wednesday
This guy sits upon the front deck of a house we drive by frequently. It's at least a couple of feet tall. I couldn't catch it with my camera from a distance, but its mouth is painted red on the inside. Its qualities as a deterrent to trespassers or thieves is shaky but it certainly catches people's attention!
Ah ... all these G words of which I did not think, but surely know. Gargoyles are wonderful. I will be in Paris within two weeks and always walk around Notre Dame checking out the gargoyles.
ReplyDeleteI can see the handle for the garage door behind your charming little fellow. I don't know if he would ward off thieves, but he would be worth stealing on his own!!
Wow! He's a wild looking fellow! What fun capture for the G Day, Gina! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteSylvia: glad you enjoyed it!

Tumblewords: I have a small gargoyle in my garden. I priced a guy this size and it was around $85 and, of course, weighs a ton.
Roger: this gargoyle is THE dude! ;-)
oh I love him
ReplyDeleteI have a very soft spot for hideous
There's actually a gay bar with two gargoyles on the patio, The Ritz.
