A funny thing happened on the way to the post office

We had a fun outing on our way to send a package to a blogger friend in Edinburgh. Quickly deciding to forego the long lines at our local post office, we enjoyed a scenic drive to a nearby quirky little one. Isn't it cute?

The scenery on the drive over was very peaceful. Trees overhanging the road cast cool shade with pretty moss-draped limbs and we passed a house with horses pastured in the front yard. 

Amidst this bucolic setting, we stumbled upon something very unique and quite uncommon in our experience.....Gargoyles!

These "little" guys were perched atop the tall stone columns of a wrought iron fence. Being vertically challenged at 5' and some change, I didn't think I could get a good shot of them. Happily, they turned out but I'm sad that I couldn't get a photo of the beautiful dragon fountain with it's spreading wings. I didn't have my telephoto lens and felt awkward trespassing. The property was quite shady from the overhanging trees providing a very appropriate atmosphere for the creatures.

We took a different route home and came across another odd site. 

Wait a darn minute! A copse of palm trees in a circle? Really weird as they don't naturally grow this way but I like the owner's sense of humor.


Errands are elevated to a whole new level when you are looking for blog post photo ops, LOL!
