Ohmygoodness! That is so :cool:!

We've been 'rock-hunting' out in the field that the tribe is putting a road through and I would never have been that 'imaginiative'! Can you get a pic from other side too? They look from that pic, like they are watching out into the field! Very :cool:

You need to 'name' it, something about mama's skirts! That's sweet! I love it!

Mama is looking at the house, no doubt wishing she were in it. I do not name these constructions as winter weather wipes them out and I "see" something different the following year.

I'll take a look at mama's backside when I have time; must go for mammo, to shop for new washer and dryer, to bank and grocery store, so the day is pretty much wiped out. It is supposed to rain, too.

It must be my lack of an artistic bent. My artistic bent is definitely missing, but all I see is a pile of stones. A nicely arranged pile of stones, but where's the mother and children?

Think I'll stick to ponds. :oops:

OK, Grunt: look at this as if it were a Rorschach (inkblot) test. Can you see anything in that pile of stones that resembles anything else?

I can see a frog with Marge Simpson's hair sitting on top of it.

Bottom left I see a Pilsbury dough boy.

Do I pass?

I thought the top one looks like a rather well-fed squirrel. But the Marge Simpson hairdo is much better! :lol:

Funny, me and my housemate were discussing ink blot tests (they were on SG-1), she asked me what I saw - I said "ink blobs". :P I see plenty of things in clouds and pinto markings - even tabbies, but the ink blots on tv, just ink blobs. :lol:

I see neither frog nor squirrel but, yes, you both pass. As to Marge's hairdo, I watch little TV and the Simpsons never, so I could not say. You may both, however, thank me for helping you get in touch with your inner weirdo(es).

I don't need help to find my inner weirdness, that's a given, as is my outer weirdness.

I like to call it unique. :P

Yes, that's definitely a momma there in the center; does she have her hands on her hips, or is she just rather buxom? I'm not sure if that's a beehive hairdo, or a helmet worn for bicycle racing. The little child on the right has squinty little eyes. The one down on the bottom left is apparantly trying to separate himself from the group...perhaps he's the reason that momma has her hands on her hips????

See there. I thought she was facing the field with her bonnet pushed up in front, looking out for her farmer husband to come to in for dinner! The kids are waiting too, but one is sad, having been told they couldn't run out there is on the left looking down at mom's skirts, little girl on the right is pretending to be a mom with her hands on her hips looking out too. Little guy on the bottom left is playing as a pirate, hiding out with hat made of the news! :D Cute how we have different views huh?

The ratio of replies to views is 12:146. That means that there are potentially dozens of Forum members out there who think we are collectively out of our gourds.

Can anyone top Jane?

:lol: Okay, I'll chime in. I think Mama looks like a being from another planet. I just can't think of which space travel show she is from. It could be Star Trek, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, etc.

I also saw the newspaper pirate hat that the child on the lower left is wearing. :wink:

Here is the real deal...momma is a big fan of the Rolling Stones so she took her entire family to see their first rock concert.

Here is a shot of their father's family at a reunion on Easter...Island. :P
