Garden Guardian.....

....well one of them anyway......we seem to have very many....this one is in great need of a good scrub and a paint job.......!

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

He makes such a great guardian..... I wouldn't want to mess with him. :)

[JackieR]

Nooooo he looks lovely and lichenny!! Leave him alone!

[Kitty Hawke]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yeah he is....one of our cats uses him as a stepping stone down from our garden wall.......

[Peter Dulis]

The kids must love your place at Halloween :)

[Hazel]

@swillinbillyflynn

I was going to say exactly that - although his smile is rather benign!

[Issi Bannerman]

I wouldn't mess with him!

[Yoland]

I think this guy looks pretty cool all weather up.

[Kitty Hawke]

@swillinbillyflynn haha....you could be right !

[Kitty Hawke]

@pdulis No-one ever comes near us at Halloween!

[Kitty Hawke]

@quietpurplehaze He has his moments!

[Kitty Hawke]

@jamibann Ahh....maybe I'll leave him as is then !

[Kitty Hawke]

@yoland I'm getting a overwhelming opinion to leave him be.......maybe I better had !

[carol white]

A scary looking guardian

[Kitty Hawke]

@carolmw He's a little sweetie really !

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of this nice art work and the textures made by time and weather conditions.

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Dione Giorgio]

It is very nice as it is, a scrub should be enough. Your b&w shot is very beautiful and there are lovely textures there. The watch towers I am showing every now and then are much older than the British period - they go back to the 17th century.

[Kitty Hawke]

@sangwann Yes....think I will leave him alone to gather mosses........I thought your towers were much older....they are fascinating.

[Kitty Hawke]

@pyrrhula Yes....so many people have said to leave him alone.......I will do just that.

[Kitty Hawke]

@rickster549 Thank you :)

[Anja]

I like him the way he is :-)

[Kitty Hawke]

@stiggle Yep....I will 'go with the flow' that he should be left alone !

[Wild Bird]

I'm in love!
