Ancient Graffiti

I love garden ornaments. Today when Nina, Nancy and I were at West End Nursery in San Rafael my eye was caught by a collection of wall-​hung metal work geckos. There were big ones and small ones and pieces of colored glass were embedded in metal holders in their backs. They were colorful and attractive. I bought one of the smaller ones to hang on our back gate. The frames holding the glass have no backs, so the sunlight sparkles through, highlighting the color particularly since the part of the gate I hung it on is a wire grid. I’m not as assiduous as many of my Unilocal friends about including photographs w/​my reviews, but I will eventually take a picture of the gecko and include it in the review.
