    This is Herschel, he was my first. He is a water fountain that needs a new pump and we just keep forgetting to get that done.

    Then came Hector, he was on sale at a garden center about three years ago and has been sitting guard in the back since then.

    The rest have not shared their names with me, or maybe they have and I wasn't listening so they got tired of talking to me :rolleyes:

    These two guys are on a shelf outside on the back wall of the house.

    I love these Toni, I'm surprised you haven't posted them before this :) Hector would have to be my favourite. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Herschel however, he just sits there waiting for water to flow :(

    Oh boy I love your gargoyles Toni!! :-D I would have a collection of them too but they're soooo expensive here. I saw a wonderful dragon gargoyle that I fell in love with last summer but at £89.99 it's way out of my price range. :(

    JEALOUS!!!! I have a couple that sit in the garden, and a couple that hang on the corners of my conservatory, but yours are just BEEEEEEEEEEUTIFUL! I'm with Eileen, whenever I see one I want, he just sits their smugly with a huge price tag around his neck! I absolutely LOVE the one your grandsons gave you for Christmas.

    Wonderful gargoyles. :stew2: I like them all, and couldn't choose between them. Your pair on the shelf looks like they're up to mischief. Any strange things happening in your garden?

    For some reason I figured liking and collecting gargoyles made me weird so I never thought about posting pictures of them. :shrug:

    The most expensive were Hector at $20 and the bookends. The rest all came from either the thrift shop or after halloween sales.
    I would love to have one that looks like it is climbing up the wall and one sticking out it's tongue.

    Droopy, I wouldn't worry too much about those two out back doing anything strange out there, Daniel the Dragon does a very good job of keeping the peace.
    Oh, did I mention that I have the beginnings of a collection of Dragons too? ;)
