I found this nearly life-sized garden statue in a junkyard in northern Virginia just a few miles from the Maryland line. I glimpsed it as I was driving (too fast) on this winding road and I just barely managed slow down enough to turn in...it was sundown and I was in a hurry to get my camera set up. I wanted to take her home with me (and clean her up for my garden), but I never even asked the price since she wouldn't fit in my car and I was a long way from home. This pic sat in "the bin" for a long time and then the Rustic contest came along. I decided that "Rustic" could be thought of as something old and once loved. I haven't been back up that way; I'm sure she's long gone by now. Now she's one of those Life Regrets, something that I didn't make happen. Thanks for coming to take a look!
