It has been a long time since we had a garden post here. In order to make the time pass more quickly until spring arrives and we have real flower gardening, here are some pictures of various beautiful sculpture gardens scattered across North America and Europe. They make we want to add some sculptures to my own backyard garden (which has a sphinx and a fu dog). Does anybody know where I could get a Janus statue and maybe some lamassus? Perhaps it’s time I broke out of this torpor and just carved a bunch of crazy mystical animals! Anyway enjoy the sculpture gardens…

Wow–it is extremely lovely. Time for me to move to Yorkshire (but I have known that ever since “James Herriot”). Thanks for the comment and the link!

Delightful!
Might I suggest a Snow Lion (Gans Sengemo) for your garden?
It is a Tibetan celestial animal whom is a protector of Buddha & a symbol of unconditional fearlessness and cheerfulness.
I have 2 lovely bronze Snow Lions ( a she & he) on either side of the entrance to my gallery.
I had a Teaching Buddha carved out of Saal wood perched on a lotus pedestal over the front door but someone stole him. (I suppose anyone who steals a Buddha needs it more than I did.)

Ooh! I like the snow lions. If I can find any I can afford I’ll definitely get them. I have been thinking about a Hecate or an Artemis statue to get in touch with the dark forces of nature (and, I guess, improve my spell casting and hunting). I’m sorry someone stole your Buddha but they can think about what they did in Naraka! 🙂

each medium is so potent. It’s primal gateway where humans shape, form their poetic souls into substance which is visible and evident. Roses are so ephemeral, but concrete sculpting is positively enchanting and powerfully permanent.
