If you click the picture to enlarge it, you will see the well behaved brothers of yesterday's lion. He was relegated to the back yard for misbehaving. These handsome young fellows stand guard at the front entrance to the manor. They have a place of honor, well deserved, no doubt. There seems to be a preponderance of one of two statues in our area:there are lions or there are pineapples. What's in front of homes in your area?

Beautiful house.
ReplyDeleteI like the color!
ReplyDeleteIn front of the house, I have an iron gate battuto. lions leave them in the bush
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful house.
ReplyDeleteNice manor. I like the old pink, a colour used on ancient buildings here.
ReplyDeletescary, powerful lions too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut not many of the homes are pink - instead they are often brick red (or a shade of brick red) or grey as most larger homes (and many smaller) are sided with brick.
Gardens greet visitors to my home, not concrete statues ;-)
Wow, that's a stately home!
ReplyDeleteThis home looks very European, as do the lions. Pineapples are a symbol of welcome in the State of Virginia. Is that also the case in Florida?
ReplyDeleteQuite strange mansion... I am officially starting the Livorno lion hunt, we don't have many, but I'll find them. And we have pineapples too, usually over the columns of a gate.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color of that beautiful house! I don't have lions, but I do have a lot of squirrels!
ReplyDeleteI bet Bad Boy Leo likes his perch in the back yard. He gets to see what's going on. His stately brothers always have to be on their good behavior. MB
ReplyDeleteI like the lions, who needs a gate when you have them protecting you.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you're not lion?
ReplyDeleteNice shot, B Squared!
They look like guardian dogs, but they are really handsome.
ReplyDeleteIn front of my front door is often an abandoned takeaway or half-finished bottle of Buckfast! Welcome to Glasgow :)
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a house!
ReplyDeleteA pineapple, just one, and an intersting sculpture of vegatables by arist LESLIE FRY.
ReplyDeletePretty photography.
