Good Luck for 2019

I see many little faces here - the two that are most distinct for me are in the center. One is a very fat face, so fat that the plump cheeks threaten to obliterate the eyes, already nothing but slits. The other, to the left of it as we are looking at the image and a bit higher in the frame, is as long and lean as the other is squat; not sure what he's looking at, but now I know what "looking askance" at something means. I am reminded of Jack Spratt and his wife.

Rooftop Snowdrifts

My resolution is similar though a bit more restricted as I thought to force myself outside in what, to me, is the least pleasant month of the year. I have no sense of scale when looking at this - which is not a criticism but rather a compliment. I feel as if that hole is opening up to swallow that miniature town and all that is in it.

Wonderful combination of textures and tones. I love the unexpected starkness of the branches - which actually make me think more of a dead deer than a tree - against the warmth of the sand.

Sharing

Perfect focus for me - love their expressions and that, despite the ubiquitous cell phone, they are together and sharing and relating.

This looks like an English muffin . . . which I haven't had for a very long time. It also looks to be swimming in butter. Yum! Is that sugar on the surface? We used to get a wonderful bread in Belgium called craquelin. I wonder whether this is similar (though the craquelin was never filled).

This is the one for me - and I see the crocodile, too . . . or at least its head and front half. Terrific light, tones, focus.

Haunting . . . and an emotional and fitting close to the month. Hope your holiday season was one of peace, Rachel.

This is the way I hide . . . I can't bear not to know :) I am liking the divisions here as well as the grain.

This is lovely. I really like the way the light spills out into that one diagonal section in the center. And the dancing leaves . . .

Great shapes, textures, and especially colors. Gotta love the green downspout with the red-orange bricks.
