Standing Guard

We were driving through the Westmont neighborhood in Edmonton when Melody let out one of those stop the car shouts.
She had spotted this house with this life size figure on the porch.
As there was someone behind me l had to drive around the block and come back to it in order to get a picture of it

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! At first I thought she was a ghost!

[bruni]

Is she deterring or inviting people to come in.

[Kitty Hawke]

How odd....maybe to deter burglars.....

[PhotoCrazy]

Wow, interest find, pic!!

[Beth]

What a oddity to have a live size figure on the porch. If she wasn't so pale I'd think she was a real lady. Maybe she is supposed to be a ghost. To early for Halloween.

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

How beautiful lovely colours looks like its a nice setting fav:)

[Larry Steager]

Makes you wonder, does get your attention.

[wendy frost]

Strange lady she looks a little pale but well spotted and captured.

[Lin]

This is so cool. And maybe a bit spooky, which makes it awesome!

[M Whipple]

So lovely!

[KWind]

What a fun find... I like it!

[Sharon Lee]

lovely inviting frontage

[amyK]

That is an unusual porch decoration

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely shot.

[Diane]

Wonderful photo! So glad Melody spotted it and you drove around the block to capture it. Fav.

[Jane Anderson]

Good eye, Melody! We drive like that too . . .

[gloria jones]

Neat find and capture :)

[PhylM-S]

What a fun find! Like your comp on her, leads the eye right to her.

[Diana]

Fabulous capture and composition, what a great find.

[Valerie Chesney]

Good spotting Melody very odd I agree. Great capture.

[haskar]

Well find. Lovely shot.

[Pat]

Ooh super find! Lovely light and colours.

[Babs]

Much nicer than a guard dog

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks like a beautiful house hidden behind the trees. The life size figure looks a bit weird.

[leggzy]

Now I want to know why they have a statue on their porch! Great find

[Chris H]

That's quirky.

[Lynn]

Now that's a fun thing to find!

[Pat Knowles]

Well done Melody..Sharp eyesight & you were a star going round the block!

[Henk-Jan]

Great find!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Very Nice shot

[April Dellow-Cowan]

Looks like a home of a visual artist!
