A Little Behind

No, that's not a reference to anyone's butt. I'm just behind in posting. So here's a slew of new faces for everyone's viewing pleasure!

Lenore did not avert her eyes even though this one is X rated, but still...nothing to do with butts.


From Lenore. Watermelon monster is not happy that summer is over.


From Laura -- don't tell BP, they've got enough to worry about...


Lynda still recycles despite this monster.


Saw this during a hike at Marengo Ridge. Sometimes you see a face, sometimes you don't. Depends on what you mix with the water coming out of this pump.


From Lynda? I think this is an opener thingee of some sort.


This is called "Not Diamonds" by Lenore.


Not tired. I see this genre of face now and again, but seldom do I have a camera. Don't shoot and drive, people. (And don't forget that comma, either!)


A backseat driver in Lenore's rental car.


Who sent me this? Anyone? Anyone? Was it you, Austin?


Another box talking back to Lenore.


I believe this is on (well, under, really) the bench that Lenore and I donated to Library Springs.

Dude...That's My Skull...I'm So Wasted!



On watermelon shots, no doubt. Lenore found this face lurking in her fruit bowl. And all the other ones on her recent travels. It's a wonder she's not paranoid about being watched.

A speaker that speaks volumes without uttering a sound.



Coffee cup lids often have hidden faces.



Clasps and brackets with personality.





This is what you call a watching tower...

Not Really A Face...

...but still cute. These are on my drive to work. I'm not sure what they're all about, but I like 'em. They're probably part of some secret cult conspiracy group. With stepladders.

Killer Tomato?


Tomato or alien head? You decide. Either way, I'm kind of glad it's not any bigger [shudder]. Lenore found this sad sight in her garden.

This cute little cartoon-like cherry tomato looks a little less ominous even though it's still, you know, a bodiless head.

Getting Toasted

Saw these antique toaster faces at The Short Stack in Algonquin. Delicious pancakes and an audience to boot.




The syrup was friendly too.



Cora made her own face with leftover sausages and syrup.

Face in Space



Here is a very cool submission (and explanation) from Laura, who works for NASA (yes, THAT NASA!).
One of the web sites I maintain allows users to generate images of the sky using our software and data. We recently added a feature that allows them to submit images to an image gallery. I thought this one was interesting. The center galaxy is called M86 (or Messier 86). M84 is the round one to the right. These galaxies are in a group of galaxies called the Virgo cluster. Charles Messier observed and catalogued objects in the late 1700s.

Port-O-Face

What happens in the port-o-potty stays in the port-o-potty... Just ask Lenore, who was just as shocked to see she wasn't alone as she went about her business.



'Course, being watched in the shower can also be unnerving.



Here you can see Lenore wasn't the only one getting tired of sitting in the waiting room.



And look! More accidental faces! I love these.




Lastly, we bring you some wood spirits from D.C. I think these live in Lyla's floor.
