The Fierce Lion and the Little Pig


Over the weekend, I found another Paradise Valley Lion guarding the gate to a property.


In fact, there were two of them.
Just look at the snarling face on that lion.  He looks like he means business.


I also saw this devilishly colorful pig sitting pretty on a fence post at another location.
I never know what I might find driving around the curvy foothills streets of Paradise Valley.

  1. I have always giggled at lion sculptures on private property. . . seems so ostentatious, but the pig is delightful.

  4. Faux lions seem to me such a waste of energy! The pig is good because it's a feel-good ornament and brightens up the area. :)

  6. Ha! I love the pig. If I had a gate, I'd put a big in charge of guarding it.

  7. I love lions in real life, but lion statues always seem a bit pretentious. But, that pig? It is about as far from pretentious as one can get.
