I’ve mentioned Stone Lions before, and have seen many, many more since then in the gardens of Carlton & Marshall Hill (and ignored most, as I do not wish to bore with unnecessary repetition), but these pink-eyed lions on Cavendish Road seemed to call for attention:—

The same 4 lions (only 3 pictured here) can be seen in Google StreetView, but they are grimy & street-dark (Cavendish Road is a main thoroughfare for cars & buses from Nottingham & Carlton). Since then, the householder has not only had them blast-cleaned to bright-white but has had their eyes painted pink. Excellent!

In complete contrast, here is a garden in Cromford Avenue, sheltered & away from that main road:—

Buddhas are also one of the recurring themes within Nottingham gardens (within my experience, including across the last 6 months whilst mapping) but I think that you may agree that, by including a comedy sea-serpent swimming through the chalk, that the householder has raised this classic contemplation into another level. I understand that the general thought within the far East is that insanity & religious devotion are but a whisper apart; I cannot decide which this garden best illustrates.
