Quido... by marlboromaam

Quido...

This is Quido. He's one of my yard gargoyles. He stared at me the whole time I was pulling ivy vines this afternoon and didn't lift a finger to help me! Typical. He will get a good soaking in some bleach and a scrubbing with a good stiff brush soon.
Very nice, I can't put my finger on it but this makes me think. he was probably wondering why you was working so hard when there is so much relaxing to be done.
April 12th, 2012  
hahaha,, typical gargoyle, never comes to life when you need a hand. Waiting to see him all clean up now.
April 12th, 2012  
lazy varmit...
April 12th, 2012  
Quido looks like he was grinning at you. Nice angle. Don't scrub too hard, I like his speckles.
April 12th, 2012  
Looks like he was enjoying watching you work!lol
April 12th, 2012  
He may be your Guardian Angel in disguise, sitting there praying for you...you never know.
April 12th, 2012  
Very cool looking, Maggie. He does look like he is watching you or watching over you. Nice photo.
April 12th, 2012  
Great name! until I googled it! You might not want to! He is cute - almost non-human. Goes well with the garden!
April 12th, 2012  
You think he's smiling now, wait until you start scrubbing his private parts. :-P
April 12th, 2012  
Nice shot! He's quite cute.
April 12th, 2012  
Oh no, don't wash it... it has the "antique" look...
April 12th, 2012  
Reminds me of the lion the witch and th wardrobe where all the people and animals were turned to stone, very life like
April 12th, 2012  
Great capture

@chrishowley Now that's a lovely thought, Chris! I like how your mind works! Thank you very much!
April 12th, 2012

LOL! You are so funny. My sister said the same thing one time about the Gnomes in her garden. Well now that I think about it my Gnomes did the same thing to me last year. Oh but wait mine are Detroit Tiger Gnomes they were busy playing baseball. hehehehe
April 12th, 2012  
He's so cute .. but could've lent you a hand there! Wonder if he'll like the "scrubbing?" Beautiful pov, Maggie and lovely colors. Quido looks like a "little thinker" sitting there!
April 12th, 2012

April 12th, 2012

April 12th, 2012  
@cindyrez LOL! If he came to life, he's so short with such a big head and ears, I don't think he could do much. Ha ha! Thank you, Cindy! Always appreciate your comments and visit!

April 12th, 2012  
Didn't lift a finger (or claw) to help huh? Then no cold beer for Quido.
April 12th, 2012  
Quido looks thoughtful! What do gargoyles think about, I wonder. Love your perspective and angle. This is a very cool Quido portrait!
April 12th, 2012  
I like the perspective of Quido filling up the right side of the shot. He's kind of spooky looking. Is he a nice gargoyle?
April 12th, 2012  
Wow, what an interesting gargoyle. Great picture :)
April 12th, 2012  
beautiful texture .. and very ironical smile.. =).. great photo..
April 12th, 2012  
And he seems to be making fun of you too, haha. Lovely capture. Serves him well if he gets some good scrubbings.
April 12th, 2012  
I like gargoyles! Quido is quite cute i think :-) nice shot Maggie! some of the comments on here made me chuckle too! @cromwell @joeboxster @ellimae
April 12th, 2012  
I love that smug smile. Nice to have someone watching over you as you do your gardening. Think of him as protecting you from snakes and the like ;-) Cool fun shot!
April 12th, 2012

April 12th, 2012  
this is a little scarry to be honest
April 12th, 2012  
Wow, I would hate to be Quido. Aren't you being a little strict? Maybe he just didn't see you. :-) Great job, Maggie!

@michellina It's just concrete, Mihaela! No need to be afraid. =)

April 13th, 2012  
@copperheadglass LOL! It would be cruel to let him rot with the mildew and mold growing on him. Better to soak him in bleach and give him a good scrubbing so he won't crumble to dust on me. =) Thank you for the comments, Meredith! Always appreciated!

Quimbo! It's a wonderful name!
Even if he's a little bit lazy (he could lift a finger to help you with housework) he looks very nice :)
Good work Maggie, the focus is very good! ;)
April 13th, 2012  
Oh I love him!!!!!! My latest fav! He's so contemplative....

April 13th, 2012  
lazy gargoyle!
April 13th, 2012  
How rude of him not to get in there and get his hands(?) dirty! It looks like he's watching and wondering what all that work is about anyway.
April 14th, 2012  
@rach57 LOL! Yeah! Thank you, Rachel!

@melissapike Ha ha! He just sits on his butt and smiles. Thank you, Melissa!

great textures and tones Maggie...Quido looks like he's almost enjoying watching you work hard !! Be gentle with him when you give him a scrub !
April 14th, 2012  
@phil_howcroft LOL! Thank you, Phil! Enjoy your comments and visit, as always! I'll try but, the mold and lichens will be hard to remove from the surface without a good scrub!
April 14th, 2012  
Great angle, I like Quido
April 15th, 2012  
@papalima LOL! I do, too! Thank you, Patti!
