You would find them in many and perhaps in most of our gardens (mine included). Of course, the garden centres sell them, but why do they and why do we buy such sculptures of children holding a water-spouting fish or that urn with wild men's faces looking at you? It is also true that we have inherited the forms and shapes of these figurines from antiquity and that they re-appeared in the gardens of the rich and the educated particularly from the 18th century on. The garden itself is a kind of alternative world, one of beauty, peace and with space for fantasy. It is therefore not fully controlled by rationality. There are even corners where the uncanny (das Unheimliche) has its place.

There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumbling 'round
The demons screaming in the distance
Creates such a humbling sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
One of the gates of Markyate Cell, an Elizabethan mansion with a longer religious prehistory, in Markyate, Hertfordshire. The gate is probably 19th century, but I am not so sure about the four fierce creatures that you see on top. In this image, the two gargoyles on the left are shown in late afternoon sun. The beasts, let us assume they are meant to be lions - for this is England where there are plenty of these indeed, are holding a shield probably originally sporting a coat of arms. This was a must-have when you owned such an estate, and if you did not come with the credentials of nobility you would find ways to buy a title (and a coat of arms, of course). Yes, and you would plant a couple of lions at your gate.

Creature
Song by Jelly Roll
Lyrics
There's a monster under my bed
And at my window there's a dragon
I accepted the challenge
It turned me into a savage
I broke a promise to myself again
I don't know why I am so vulnerable
They try to help but I won't let them in
I guess rock bottom's where I'm comfortable
Both my feet planted when most people would've panicked
I embraced the storm, I found beauty in what was damaged
I'm not afraid of the boogieman
Instead, I look at him like he's a friend
There's not a monster out there in the world
That's scarier than the one that's within
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumblin' 'round
The demons screamin' in the distance
Creates such a humblin' sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
Not a sadist, no
But I'm hated so
While religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast
And that I've made it grow
When I spray this flow
I created more
Creatures unlike when I heated the mic
I'm a breed of the night but I'm tainted though
By the darkness, I'm binded
I sparked it and shined it
They find it 'cause mine is whoa
For that, they labeled me a demon seed
Want to disable N9na, see him bleed
Hinder me fatally and see them greed, no-oh (chea)
You would not believe the creature inside me
If you deceive Khalifahs are lively
We disagree when people defy me
Or tryna take his
Whatever the fuckery taught him, you don't wanna break this
You forsake his
What is sacred?
Then it's over, no matter what your faith is
I'm a creature
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumblin' 'round
The demons screamin' in the distance
Creates such a humblin' sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
Yeah, I managed to get myself in trouble, all of this pain
Yeah, I'm down and the double-dosin', liquor's always to blame
If I could keep myself sober, I'd keep my hands to myself
I take a shot and it's over, that's how I end up in Hell (I do)
I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring (yeah)
They get everything from their daddy, feel like I'm addicted to all things (yeah)
Yeah, there's no reason to change, gone too far now
And I'm stuck in my ways, back at the bar now
They said I'm a flirt and they right (yeah), I ain't perfect, aight? (Yeah)
So when I'm thirsty and perkin' and purposely searchin' for somethin'
It's hurtin' me so
I just get back up and go, I just back out of a show
That's how it go, I knock the back out a ho
And next night act I don't know (Okay)
I think they be laughin' at me, hands be grabbin' at me
Feel like God let it happen to me
That'd be blasphemy
And at least it be happenin' naturally (Okay, yeah)
I think I better let it go (Yeah)
Either that or I gotta let her know
And I can't do that
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumblin' 'round
The demons screamin' in the distance
Creates such a humblin' sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
This is Anat Ronen’s latest mural which I saw her working on this last week on the corner of Leeland and St. Emanuel close to downtown, Houston. She is a self-taught artist which in her words “means my perspective and views come from those of a "normal", “average” person, a simple, hardworking, unnoticed human. Life was never too easy for me, ups and downs, losses and gains, happiness and sorrow. When I did come to discover that there's more to me than just being, that creating was a part of who I am, it was like a volcano started to erupt and never stops.”

A Picture with all the goodies you can find in my blog.
Next shot on from the previous image shows this same creature with its head upright and a hint of eye!
Still in a post surgical recovery (it will be a while yet) I cant venture too far from home and have not been ambitious enough to pick up a camera very often. That said, there's no shortage of subject matter with all the garden creatures in our back yard.
Regarding this image, I lost my toned B&W preset when I changed computers last winter and have been experimenting with getting similar results.
