Someone built that, board by board. Yes, LOTS of time.

But you took the road to the west and I to the south. I live near Tampa in a little place called Winter Haven. I even have a small alligator in the lake behind my house. Not bad for a city slicker from New York.

I was stationed in Milton, FL for 4 years, 68-72.
I have a small concrete alligator in my front yard, amongst some landscaping. We call him Al.

I want to reach out and touch the wall through the screen. Marvelous.
How are the baby birds today?

I just shot them again and they were all in a row with their backs to me, beaks forward. While they look the same, one is smaller, and may be the odd egg in. Or not.

I particularly like the door. Please tell me I’m not the only one who sees a face in the door!
LikeLike
I see faces all the time. Where in this door is the face you see?
LikeLike
The entire door is a face. The centre stripe is a long narrow nose. There is a line near the bottom that runs across the door that looks like a mouth with the tongue sticking out.
The eyes are odd. One eye is the centre door hinge and the other eye is the door handle. It’s like he had an eye injury with the ‘muscles’ of his face around the door-handle-eye drooping down.

This will best tell you how I feel about what you see:

Interesting. I’ve heard about this before … it is believed that the human brain is hardwired to respond to faces which is why most people tend to ‘see’ faces in random places.
btw – it’s Zappa 🙂

Yes, wabi sabi is perhaps my favorite theme….or is it autumn? Thanks, you are a generous soul.

you’re welcome! and I guess, in a way, autumn does slide into the wabi sabi category doesn’t it 🙂 they both are Lovely.

At the point when autumn transitions into winter it is more like a kick to the groin than a wabi sabi delight. Perhaps when the leaves are blowing around and come to rest as beautiful and colorful remnants, there is a touch of the wabi.
