    Realization of what may come if we continue on our current path is what a nightmare is made of…but then again it might mean we’ve been watching TV a bit much.
    Strange mood you say…like that’s never happen before!
    Love ya Lois!!! Don’t ever change…

  • HAHA!!!! RB is slooooooooow today over here … am trying to post a “description” in the description box that’s explain this one a little better … I hit the button on this before I was really ready … oh me oh my!!!!! Knew if I didn’t, I never would. Yes, I’m a mess.

    I would not mind if they pushed a person down the board – but not an animal. I guess I would have gotten into trouble again. (I like animals better than most people). Sorry about that! A terrific depiction Lois. Bill

  • I hear ya … maybe the idea was to give them exercise?? Because it really wasn’t as steep as I’ve made it look, and they did then get to swim around a little (until A Hand scooped them up again) …. lol … but once I got going on the image, it just looked even more nightmarish than it did in real life … and … well … my imagination took off from there!!!! Thanks for visiting and for your thoughts, sweetie!!!!!

    Beautiful photo and texture work, Lois!! I guess to see those ducklings put on show like that and then repeat, repeat and repeat, could bring those thoughts you had!!

  • Hi Allison!!!! thank you, hon!!!! I don’t mean to be a weird-o, but I did feel bad for the poor things!!! Bless their hearts!!! I’ve loved the images of them, but never quite knew what to do with them. A lovely barnyard scene would have been more appropriate, i guess … but some little devil got into me today … hehe
