TRICK or TREAT?
It's A Trick of Course!
Can You Believe This Is A Red Bell Pepper I Made For Dinner?
I cut it in Half and saw THIS FACE!
I used my PAINT PROGRAM, Curves & Layering
To Make The Rest Come To Life!

The Piping Peppers
Time Is Passing Very Fast
Queen Kewpie Says,
"The Future Is The Past."
We Hardly Understand When She Speaks
Yet We ~Know~ We've Been
In The Forest For Weeks.
Vague Days Walking By
Huts Made of Thatch.
Secret Vernacular Villages
And Many A Pumpkin Patch.
The Smells of Horrid Soups Fill The Air
Caldron's Bubbling Everywhere...
Not Trusting One Word
That A "HOODED" May Have Said.
Kewpie Whispered
"Only Trust The Peppers That Are Red".
"THEY WILL SHOW US THE WAY OUT,
IT IS NOT FAR.
THEY SAY THERE IS A ROAD BEYOND HERE...
WITH A WAITING CAR".

When I cut this pepper in half, getting ready to cook, I saw those seeds looking like little teeth and then the possibility of eyes being painted in and well, it snowballed. The photo shoot began and dinner was late! HA!
Thanks so much for the visit and your ALL of your fun comments.

Hi Marie :D I am so used to calling you Nancy. :) "Marie" it is! :))) You are so sweet. I can tell that you have a dear sweet heart, too! Thanks for all the kind words. Come and visit my gallery any time you like. Some of the pages further back are really funny, too. BPers have a great sense of humor when they know they can relax and kid around. Everyone knows they are welcome to do that here at "Laura's House" :D
I hope you all have a wonderful evening, and Emile, I need to make it to your gallery to see your Rocky images!!! The ones I have seen so far have been great!
