lucid said...: Ann, you really do take wonderful photos. I was also admiring your shot for the too-early cafe. The shapes and the angles of the masses and their colors made something ordinary into a beautiful image.; 3/28/10, 9:30 PM
Ann Althouse said...: I'm seeing a facial profile, not a whole body thing. (Gross!); 3/28/10, 9:42 PM
Irene said...: I see George Washington: both as a facial profile and as a whole body thing.; 3/28/10, 9:52 PM

The head would be very weird, in that case.

PS Where are you? Why do I think Utah? Flowers, I guess.; 3/28/10, 10:52 PM

(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.; 3/28/10, 10:55 PM

MamaM said...: Nuts, Chip got there first...but I'm liking the lichen too, along with the great colors and texture present.

I needed something strong and silent on which to fix my attention after the babbling baby video.; 3/29/10, 2:43 AM

Fred4Pres said...: It is just so weird it had to be posted.

Thanks for the rock shot. More rock shots. There is also a fabulous JFK profile rock in Sharm El Sheikh, but I can't find a picture of it.; 3/29/10, 9:48 AM

Tom Nally said...: Oh, to have rocks. Actual rocks.

In deltaic New Orleans, there are no rocks. Well, at least there are no rocks on the surface unless they are hauled in from elsewhere, or brought up from an excavation.

Here, you cannot find an outcropping of rocks. Maybe an artificial outcrop built for a wildlife habitat at the zoo.
