Good morning and happy #Wednesday. 😊

A good few years ago, I enrolled on a #pottery course and this is the first thing I made. 😊🌿🌿🌿

A striking green man: just one piece of the extraordinary carving to be found on the famous (but little) Norman church at Kilpeck in #Herefordshire. There is also a dragon below right. #greenman #pagan #paganism #dragon #church #medieval #medievalsky
Oh wow, I just got hold of #GreenMan tickets (Aug next year) for our group having given up! My credit card is a bit melty, but whatevs...

Folklore's Green Man has long fascinated me, as a gardener/landscape architect, but also since I read a book connecting him to Santa Claus (??)

This story was my chance to write about the Green Man and coyotes, in a race between invasive and native plants.

Plus coyotes as icons of resilience

Love this Green Man style mask on the keystone of an arched window on 11 Renfield Street in Glasgow. This building was originally built in 1858, but was altered in the 1890s and I presume the mask was added at this time.

Green man face in the low autumn sun. Taken in my late parents’ garden today. Not that long until the house is sold and it won’t be their garden anymore. The green man is coming home with me. Face is actually going green with the luttkk looks bits of moss on it. #greenman #autumn #Mosstodon
To start the week, a smiley Green Man (or rather yellow) I found at Abbey Dore in #Herefordshire. The abbey dates back to the 12th Century but was expanded a century later. The Green Man perhaps therefore dates from the 13th Century. #GreenMan #pagan #PreChristian #church #medieval #medievalsky

Beautifully sculpted green men on the obelisk sundial in King's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. This is one of three Victorian replicas of the 1635 Mannerist sundial at Newbattle Abbey House in Midlothian.
