Hey, this hasn’t been cold. I grew up in the Midwest. This gets me energized. Love cooking this time of year, too.
digitalillusion
Not sure whether the faces are meanacing or or calm which makes the whole image somewhat disturning. Very clever stuff to get two emotions from a single image like that. Great stuff.

Love that we only see the mouth and leaving the rest of the face a mystery; which I suppose is up to the imagination of the viewer. They say the scariest images is formed out of our imagination (that’s why a lot of scary stories in books are without pictures).

boy i’ve missed your wonderful and insightful comments… thank you so much…......b
