This little angel sits above the grave of a young child. Does the moss growing on the sculpture add to the effect or detract from it?

I say the moss definitely adds to the character of the statue.
Have a great week.
I have to agree with Photo Cache, I think the moss definitely adds character. It does speak to you and at least makes me wonder about the child buried there. Terrific shots and post Mary!
Enjoy and stay warm!

Yes the moss ads character. And I always wonder what happened to the child. It must be a sad story.
I like the moss on the statue. Always sad to see a child's grave. Wonderful photographs Mary and I love your Christmas header. That's great!
Mary: That is a neat little angel.
I've never been to New York City but my husband came from Rome in upstate. I like the moss, it makes me think of quiet forest spaces. I invite you to come see my snowy airport. - Margy
Nice pictures, the moss adds something to it.
Love the moss on the angel. It gives it a real look of antiquity. Your blog is so festive, Mary! That red makes your photos pop!
