The gargoyle looking out through the fire escape ladder seems to be telling us just what he thinks of having metal rungs in his face!
ReplyDeleteThe gargoyles are magnificent. I never would have given them much thought before. Thanks for the "wake-up call."
ReplyDeleteMy ARC of ARTIFACT arrived today. Can hardly wait to start reading!

Fran, I loved seeing all the faces poking out behind fire escapes, lamps, and scaffolding. Their expressions did seem to register their disdain! There will be more of them to follow this summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat. So glad the post office was speedy. Glad you enjoyed the gargoyles, and I hope you enjoy the ARC!
