Scattered throughout the grounds of Skylands are various statues. I only visited a few on my last visit. In one spot there is a ring of cherubs. I am not sure of what their significance is but each are holding either food or drink. Each one of their expressions is different. Haunting somehow. Time and weather have only heightened the effect.
This one was my favorite. Take a look at the bush with the red berries on it behind him.
Now take a closer look at the cup he is holding.
A coincidence that the red berries just happened to fall into his cup? (I had to scramble up on the wall in order to get this photo looking down into the cup.)
This piece demanded attention.
I loved the feathery tail modestly wrapped around his body.
Time has worn away their faces but they still dance on.
Before I go, did you notice the slight tweak to my blog? The larger format? The bigger photos?
Stay tuned for the final installment in this series: Butterfly and Busy Bees
