My Child-like Desires: Gargoyles

Category: Ramblings | Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 12:45 am

I remember seeing a crazy hobbit-like creature hidden among the forested beds at the local university years ago. It was from the art department. There were several tucked into hidden spots along the walks. These temporary art pieces led me to hide some little gargolye creatures in my garden. They are all tucked around the fish pond in the plantings. They are shy so that you have to search for them

I've never been able to get frogs to survive the fish in my pond so of course I had to add my own.

He isn't as froggy as I might have liked, and his little brother hangs out with a friend in the picture before him.

My favorite is my biggest gargoyle. He stands about 2 feet tall and was a birthday present for my 50th. He gets totally hidden in the summer months.

Just something that makes me smile.

You've created a wonderful, arty garden and I just love it all. Full of surprises!

I think gargoyles look great in a garden - much better than those horrid, brightly coloured, plastic gnomes that some people have.

Wonderful collection Jewell, I like the frog most.

I like your garden friends. I have a whole bunch of frogs that hide in my gardens during the summer.:)
