Lego for Adults
I like my new square attitude – going where the posts of others lead me. Today I was inspired by Jez’ overcute Lego figure. Although my offering is only 2D.

The Odd Armadillo
That was the first picture I saw of this … this … whatsit. What is it? A vomiting lizzard? Or did I read the fountain in the wrong direction and this was a drinking green pig with a large tail? What about the wings? A dragon whelp? I don’t know that I was thinking except that – “This is really odd!!”
As we went more often to Frankfurt we kept seeing more pictures of the creature.
And not just pictures, sculptures as well.
And after a while we started to understand. This was the Frankfurt Grüngürteltier or literally, the Green Belt Creature. The name is pun – green belt is literally Grüngürtel but a Gürteltier is the name of an armadillo in German. It is used as a signpost for the 68km long walking path encircling the city.
This is for another one of Cee’s guest challenges.
