Dinosaur Road Guardians

These are surely the world's most ugly ducks.  Rosie wasn't tangling with them.  We met them on a trip to the ice-cream shop when the weather was still uncomfortably hot and stuffy; It's turned cooler now, which is a relief.  It is the time for Arty Open Studios here, and yesterday I and my Mum went off to visit some, despite the downpour.   Probably my favorite artist was Karen Nicol who does rather lovely fabric art featuring a lot of whippets (we met the whippets, which may have influenced me somehow.)
