Do you see what I see?Deerfield Beach, FL

Continuing this week's surprise theme - and building on the I-see-things-in-the-rock storyline I started here - I wanted to share these two images captured while I was at the beach.
At regular intervals, the powers-that-be have installed these large piles of rock (yes, I'm so geologically precise) to, I guess, prevent beach sand erosion and give naughty teenagers a really painful place to make out.
Quick pause for a bit of edumacation: Because I play a journalist on television, I looked it up. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has something called the Beach Erosion Control Program, or BECP (say it 10 times fast...go!) For mo
re background on this, click here. Kinda puts a new spin on that beef burrito you left in the sand after your last game of drunken hacky sack. End pause.In the late afternoon sun, you see things in the rock faces that you just wouldn't see earlier. (Please, no drinking jokes. I stuck to juice that day.) Next time I'm there, I think I need to eyeball every last rockpile from one end of the beach to the other. Maybe not.
Your turn: Do you see anything in this pic? Do you see two things? Are your eyes hurting from squinting so much? Should I stop this now?
Cow
ReplyDeleteYep, definitely bovine. :D
ReplyDeleteYep, cow. And try as I might, once I saw that I couldn't see anything else!
ReplyDeleteDo you mean something other than that evil looking face?
ReplyDeleteIf that's what you mean then if I enlarge it I see the salt crystals.
Holy Cow Batman, I see dead ... COWS!!!
ReplyDeleteI see ET....phoning home.
ReplyDeleteA.L.F.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I saw was a cow. But after staring a while, I saw some smaller things, including a baby.
ReplyDeleteMy first impression was a frightened horse or a mid evil dragon head. But then cow fits too!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Carmi. I haven't gotten around to much lately. I have enjoyed hearing about your themes though!
Cow. But dig deeper into that nostril (no, not like THAT) and you'll see the right one is a skull. Go look. I'll wait.
ReplyDeleteI see a cow's head and she is eating...glad to know I am not the only one who saw a cow!
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. rock face Rorschach.....I see a crazy mad cow.
ReplyDeleteI see a cow!
ReplyDeleteI see a cow ;-)
ReplyDeleteEet Mor Chikin!
ReplyDeleteWell... you did ask...
At first glance I saw a tiny skull, then I looked at the whole picture, and saw a cow.
ReplyDeleteI see ET - but no cow.
