Saturday Snapshots - What's This?

C'mon, use your imagination! What do you think this strange thing is below?

Okay, I can see you need some help on a Saturday before you strain your brain. The weird creation is what you get from sitting in the hospital waiting room with nothing else to keep your hands/mind occupied but an empty Styrofoam coffee cup and your fingernails ~~ Mr. StyroFace. It was kinda fun, so if you're ever in a train depot, stuck at the doctor's office, or anywhere else where coffee cups are available...give it a try! :)

Saturday Snapshots

Happy Saturday! I hope you get the opportunity to pursue the things that enrich, recharge and make you happy this weekend. And thanks again for your thoughts & prayers for my friend's husband who remains in CCU on life support, and for your votes for my blog. 'Preciate you!

One of the things I like to do is take photos of things that strike my fancy. That might be goofy family moments, inspiring things in nature, oddities (go figure) and sometimes closeups of normal everyday things that can look like abstract art if viewed from a different perspective.

And since my trusty digital camera is always with me, I thought I'd add a new weekly feature here at Gumbo Writer ~~ Saturday Snapshots. Today's photo was taken at my parents' house a few days ago. They have an outside reading room my Dad and friends added on several years ago for my mom to house her garage sale treasures and huge collection of books, so it's like a mini-library addition.

A beautiful morning dove got trapped in there and kept flapping its wings against the window in futile attempts to escape back into the great outdoors. I got a broom and scooted him out before he hurt himself...but not before grabbing my camera for a shot while he sat on the window ledge. One of these days I'm going to learn to use the editing features in Photoshop. I know I could crop and make this shot look a lot better. I really like the way he is perched on the collection of brass goldfish. Such a nice juxtaposition, don't you think? Unlikely water and sky critters out of their elements, looking out on the human world.

I wonder what he's thinking?
