The Greenhouse Lawn - Part 2

I reached the halfway point in my tour of the front lawn of the greenhouses in Winthrop, New York (see also Part 1, posted yesterday). I encountered this rearing horse, another swan and - - well, I wasn't sure what that circle with the golden horse head was. There were quite a number of American flags on display:

A small buck:

Another statue of the Virgin Mary, this one on the reverse side of a soldiers' monument:

A three story house for Purple Martins, though I saw no birds using it:

There were a number of these small shelters, ideal for people to rest and have lunch:

And another giant clock with an eagle, a stone monument, giant urns full of flowers and a Polar Bear, holding an American flag:

A giant, concrete Uncle Sam (who, by the way, was from Troy, NY):

The front side of the soldiers' memorial:

I noticed that the mystery disc I saw before (which had a gold horse head on it) was the back side of a big clock beside the rearing horse:

Another saint and a message about making friends:

I ended my walking tour where I'd begun, by the elaborate barn with the stained glass barn windows and 200 year old clock. Small towns have lots of interesting people and places:
