natural plywood covering a broken window
Laramie, WY
September 2019 |
This natural and unpainted plywood, covering a broken window on a building near the Eagles Hall in Laramie, caught my attention immediately. In the woodgrain, I see "eyes" lots and lots of eyes - some that look like frogs and others that look like elephants and even humans.
Do you see what I see?
What beautiful detail has emerged on that wood. It also made me think of old silk.
ReplyDeleteWho would know it would be so pretty...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a lot of eyes!
ReplyDeleteI saw the same thing before I even read what you wrote. About 3/4 up I see a row of owls!

I missed the owls but I saw the eyes right away. Then I thought there must be something more. So I softened my focus and looked and looked and...nope, just eyes. You're so much fun Nancy!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow!!! That's kinda scary.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely can see frogs staring at me with their big googly eyes! Or maybe they are toads.
ReplyDeleteI see clouds and hurricanes.
ReplyDeleteWell, I first thought of bacon...until I read your comments and then yep, I'm seeing eyes. Way more many eyes than I want to be seeing!
ReplyDeleteToo much fun! We would have fun looking at clouds together! lol
ReplyDeleteI see the frogs and even a lizard but not sure about an elephant!
I think turning all those eyes you see at first glance, into frog's eyes makes them less scary! A good self-protective psychological technique!
That is one interesting piece of plywood. Would look good with a nice dark walnut stain too.
ReplyDeleteyes lots of eyes!
ReplyDeleteI see owl eyes Nancy!
ReplyDeleteLots of eyes, for sure! Who knew plywood could be so interesting?
