Friday Fotos: Flirtworthy Guy!

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

This handsome fellow is over the door of what I call the National Greenhouse.  The Botanical Gardens are on Independence Avenue at the foot of the Capitol.  It's one of those places where you can go in with a camera and have a set of Friday Foto shots for the next ent years.  So more shot of the interior will show up in later posts.

 

If you are planning a move to or from the Washington, DC area, I can help!  I am licensed in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.  You may call, email or text me at:

Pat, See those leaves growing out of that guy's forehead and nose?  I think he's a Greek or Roman God of Plants.  I'm married to a gargoyle phile

Amazing how photos make you really focus on something. I have probably seen this live and not even noticed it before.

Hi Pat, Love the photo but will have to look him up to see what he represents. Guessing he is a God of Plants and Vines, :-)

I've seen him many times!  I love that building!  When you go inside it's almost like they hook an oxygen mask up to your face the air is so rich!

Good morning Pat -

Scary looking dude in my opinion. Wouldn't need a No Solicitation sign with him standing guard :)

Hope you have a great Washington day and enjoy the weekend.

Is he sticking his tongue out at us Pat?  These old statues are a little creepy and you have to wonder what they were thinking back then.

So, somewhere there has to be a story behind him. Have you talked to the caretakers to see if they know the story behind him?
