Been taking pictures of carved sheep and such lately and thought I’d dedicate a page to them.

Since I like sheep, people give me sheep including these two.
The first was taken last year at Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia and the second this year at Nemours in DE
The third is a small metal piece that might be a finial or handle. It is about 4″ tall and has a place for a screw about 3/8th wide in the base. Sort of a Janus, the Roman two headed god who looks forwards and backwards. January looks to the last year and forwards to the new.
