Floyd

[Winchester]

His name is Floyd. Rick got him for me for Christmas last year, stuck him in his closet, and forgot about him. He just found him again when he was looking for
a pair of jeans. Floyd is awesome! He is going out to the Shed.

Wow, Floyd IS awesome!

He is awesome and deserves to be shown off! Nice gift.

YIKES!! Floyd, if you were in my closet, I would cover your up and keep you in there!!

For some reason I keep picturing Floyd with a pink boa.

If he's designed to ward off evil, as some of the grotesques of antiquity are supposed to, I reckon he'd do the job pretty well.

For some reason I keep picturing Floyd with a pink boa.

Maybe I can put a little elf hat on him for Christmas. Or try to find a little scarf. But no boas!

I'm surprised you don't have this one.. it's even from Winchester Cathedral!

 

[Winchester]

Oh wow, mani ! He's way cool!

I do have a bit of a collection of gargoyles and dragons. Apex, the Flying Dragon, lives at the top of our arbor at the entrance to the pool. As many of you already know, Rupert is out front in our flower bed. The CatGoyle hangs on the wall in our hallway. Double Trouble is out in the Shed by the door. Roland and Ronald are the gutter guardians at the Shed. There's a gargoyle in the flower bed in front of the Shed, but he doesn't have a name yet. And then there's Sirius who has perched on the floor in the Shed.

I just saw this: Boden the Gothic Gargoyle Sculptural Table Lamp He's pretty neat!
I'd really like to have a gargoyle fountain someday.
