Iris from the beautiful, German city of Braunschweig shows off images of Henry the Lion, the city mascot on her blog, Double-Half or One Ten without ham. I was disappointed I never saw any lions around when out and about and then one day I was wearing a ring that Himself and I gave to my dad,
and then I started to see Leo, Henry's cousin.
Here is one of the lions at the main entrance to the McKim Building (the Old Library) at the Boston Public Library. My father told me his Uncle Manny was one of the stonecutters that carved the lions. I've blogged about that here.

This was from a video of a lion cub playing with his Dad's tail. Dad was not amused.

While cleaning the basement, I remembered the souvenir stein from a trip to Germany when I was in high school. Would anyone care for a big gulp of tea? beer? wine?

ReplyDeleteJust like 42, once I started seeing lions, I've been seeing them all over 😺
DeleteNot sure my comment went through. If it did please delete this one. That was a lucky ring CJ. You found lots of lions. I never see any. Maybe I need a ring to help me spot them too. Have a great T day!
ReplyDelete💍🦁 Here's a lucky ring for you
DeleteLions are beautiful. I enjoyed seeing all the pictures you put together.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Thanks for looking
DeleteLions everywhere! I've never seen much in the way of lions around here, but I didn't see 42s 'til I started looking. Cool!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see 42's until I followed your blog for a bit. Same thing with lions on Iris' blog 😊
DeleteIsn't it funny what we see when we start paying attention? ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteWow so many Lions, we had two magnificent Lions at the entrance to the council House in my home town in England, how great to know that someone in your family helped to sculpture those lions too
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day

I haven't been able to definitely prove that Uncle Manny worked on the lions, but I like to think he did.
DeleteGood morning, very fun blog post-loved seeing all of the lions and the ring began the journey-too cool
ReplyDeleteHappy T wishes Kathy
The magic ring 😺
Deletea great collection of lion imagery, and that ring is fab! Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteMy dad loved that ring and I'm happy to have something that belonged to him.
Deletehow awesome that uncle manny was a stonecutter and helped create the lion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☺☺☺♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteYeah, he helped carve a big kitty!
DeleteI bet Iris is overjoyed to see all those lions. I am truly impressed, too. My undergrad university's mascot was a lion and I grew up in Lyons, KS, whose mascot was obviously a lion, too. I've been around lions as long as I remember. I don't see any 42's though. I LOVE that German stein. I used to collect them when I lived in MO. Yours is sweet. Thanks for sharing all your lions and your stein with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
ReplyDeleteOh, no 42s in this post. I meant I didn't see 42 until I followed Divers blog for awhile. Ditto seeing lions and Iris' blog
DeleteSorry, I didn't mean I didn't see any 42s in THIS post, I meant I don't see 42s in general.
DeleteI actually came back to tell you the reason I didn't blow bubbles into the dawn and coffee was because I've done that in the past. However, I start with dry paper and allow the bubbles to land on the paper. For the coffee technique, I started with coffee stained and saturated paper. Next time, I'll start with dry paper instead of saturating it with coffee first.
Such a fun post! Wow, I loved seeing all the wonderful images of Henry 😁. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLeo, Henry's cousin. Henry belongs to Iris
DeleteSuch a fun post.
ReplyDeleteI do like the ring :)
All the best Jan
Me, too.
DeleteThere is something so majestic about lions. And I love the ring. It's beautiful. I'm currently wearing the Mother's Ring I got my mom, many, many years ago.
ReplyDeleteTake special care, my friend.
And you
DeleteOhhhhhh.... Henry and I smile SOOOO big, it hurts!
ReplyDeleteThankk you!!!
And what a brave girl!
What a question, beer, please! I´ve never been in Heidelberg, fun (or sad?) to see when others from other countries know more of "yours" - but I love to learn.
Sorry I´m late, too....
I thought you might get a kick out of seeing Leo 😺
DeleteThe lions...they are everywhere! So majestic.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
I’m keeping my eyes peeled
DeleteWhat a fun post about the lions. From now on you will keep seeing lions everywhere!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
I hope so
DeleteOoh! What a lot of Leos! It was fun to see you finding more and more - I bet you will see even more now! Belated Happy T Day (been out too much...but there will be photos!) Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your out and about photos.
DeleteSorry I am late on my T-day comment. I love your all lions post and so fun to see all the different ones. Super fun you still have a stein from your high school trip too! Love that ring!
ReplyDeleteI love the ring, too, and Happy to have something of my Dad’s
DeleteI love the ring!
ReplyDeleteGreat images CJ! Big Hugs!
