Queen Elizabeth I, likeness captured in stone and bronze and placed in this garden*.  She stands in serene stillness, never changing in gaze, overseeing the trees and flowers.  It may be just me, but statues can sometimes freak me out.  🙂  Beautiful yes, but sometimes I just keep expecting them to move or change position, yet they stay and stay and stay.  And yes, I also realize that I am personifying inanimate objects again….don’t judge me.  heehee  😉  Have a peaceful and joyful weekend.  Slainte, Lisa
