Head, Bray

Walking the dog to the playing field in BIFE, I saw this as soon as I stepped through the gap in the hedge (the usual entrance for dog-walkers and others who visit after the gates shut). The light was perfect, as was the Medusa-hair. This is why I keep one eye on the ground. 

I walked dog and hurried home (just 100 yards or so) to get the Canon and take a higher res  shot. Of course, by the time I returned a family had arrived and I didn't want to lurk nearby with a large camera. In any case, the head appeared to have been taken, perhaps by the same child that originally lost or decapitated it.  

Speaking of decapitated heads, this, from an article in The (UK) Independent:

"When Jean-Paul Marat’s killer, Charlotte Corday, was executed by guillotine in 1793, a man named Francois le Gros allegedly lifted her head and slapped both cheeks. Onlookers claimed that Corday’s face took on an angry expression and her cheeks became flushed. There are other reports from history of severed heads that seem to have shown signs of consciousness. Anne Boleyn, for example, apparently tried to speak after being beheaded." 

Our little lives aren't always "rounded with a sleep." But as for Medusa here: as Newt says to Ripley in Aliens, "she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic."
