My new St. Francis for the Garden is no earnest cement saint, this guy is about 4 ft tall (1,4 meter), made of recycled steel scrap and is JOYFUL to see the creatures of the garden, including the yellow rubber duck we keep in our garden pond.

A variety of views of the St. Francis for the Garden. There are a small frog, snail, lady bug, and a flower around his feet, a hummingbird in one hand and a smiling sun along with a dragonfly and butterfly in his halo.

Looking down on the St. Francis sculpture--a small dish of seeds for the birds can be placed in his palm.

A back view of St. Francis--note the snail and flower behind him.

The cross on his chest is made of cut nails welded on a bicycle sprocket.
