What an interesting image, Patti. I want to know more about what is attached. My imagination tells me the title Journey Afoot might work. :) Where is this statue?
Steve #9061945

Richard B. Hallick November 24, 2010

Ann Coates level-classic November 24, 2010

This is really cool Patricia. #9062139

Patti Coblentz November 24, 2010

Thanks Lorna, and Ann!

Is that turkey hiding from the man, trying to disguise himself with a lampshade? LOL!

I will try to locate the rest of the statue that belongs to this foot, to be nice...I think this is a little out there, no? I know what "interesting" means :))) #9062145

Lorna Shutter November 24, 2010

Hey, you're pretty smart to figure out the Turkey thing! Ha! Ha! :)

For your information, "interesting" (according to the MSN-Encarta dictionary) means:
1. arousing curiosity or attention: arousing curiosity, attracting or holding attention, or provoking thought

2. not boring: enjoyable because of being varied, challenging, stimulating, or exciting

That was MY meaning too! Can't speak for Steve though. LOL! :D
