Hope you like the new look. I'm not sure I do. Might have to come up with my own design and I don't speak the language. Enought gabbing. How about a Yuletide Lion? I snapped one a couple of years ago. He's a stately looking fellow, who along with his brothers protects the little concrete bridge in the park he shares with Selene (whom you've already met in the header). It's a beautiful, quiet place to walk the trails and get close to nature. No punch line. It's an oasis in the surrounding desert of urban sprawl.
The statue of Selene graces one of the ponds in the park near the Jame River. She sits quietly in contemplation while those who stumble upon her floating above still waters take their lives in their hands to see her up close. The passing traffic can't see you and vice versa, as you stand gazing upon her serenity. Cars leaving the park that direction have their vision obscured by bushes and must watch the opposite direction as they merge onto the road out. I felt the unwelcome breeze of passing cars while taking her picture. But she's worth it.

All gussied up with no place to go. And no one who'll play ball .
Ba! Humbug! |
