Saturday Statuary - Fetch the Stick!

Hokay, so it's supposed to be Diana, the Huntress, but it looks like some woman throwing a stick for her dog to fetch. The fact that she's naked and standing on a triffid decorated with bananas simply goes to prove that I was right about the world all along.
This in in Green Park, just outside the new Green Park tube station that our London office designed (rather spiffy, as it happens - I may do a post on it one day).
It's still snowing blizzardly here, which is why I'm using last year's photos. Looks like we've skipped spring again and when (if) this cold spell ends we'll be thrown screaming straight into sticky, sweaty summer hell.
A pox on the weather gods. May they be forcibly buggered with a splintered gatepost.

Or have an ornamental post with gilt bananas stuck in their bums instead. I wish I could run in the park naked, throwing sticks for my dog.

Way too cold and snowy for that kind of behaviour, Speedway.

OUCH! On so many prickly levels, sugar! xoxoxox

Speedway said...

Which would be crazier, do do it in the first place, or to do it in the cold?

Ms M said...

Interesting addition with the street lamp. Are you sure she's not throwing a Frisbee?

Indeedy, Savannah.

I think the cold is the decider, Speedway.

She could well be, Ms.M. Either way, the dog is raring to go.

Hahahaha, Savannah!

Here's our Diana, at the Huntington.

Best place ever, except maybe Versailles, and every castle I've ever visited, and some I haven't.

Rather more huntressy than the London version, Petrea. I think the bow would be more effective than the frisbee.
