Oh ! A very charming trio of Ladies ! I like : !
Exquisite! and all this with a touch of snow. :)
What a fantastic statue this is. I would have took many of this for sure. The story behind it is charming as well.
I think you remember that the holiday how called, "Memorial Day" was, for generations called, "Decoration Day," a day set aside to decorate graves.
Nice snow covered reminder that we got a ways to go to spring.
Nice statue. It looks pretty nifty with all the snow.
I love statues and I really like these.
Did you forget that it's Theme Day today? Better watch out, or the blogger police will get you. The statues do just as well, tho!
Very poignant! I think this will do for art!
Kind of melancholy.
Hi Barb, here I am for the week recollection of your posts!
This first one looks much more interesting than most grafitti around... ;) Beautiful picture, and the sunny snow scenery helps a lot! Also loved the four Huntingdon Church posts, as well as the Steeple!
Talking churches, I posted on an surprising one: the Rila Monastery!
Have a great weekend!
