My office is a sun room with a garden pond out back. I’ve been working a lot lately. Obviously too much…eye strain, that is. I was coming back into my office when something out at the pond caught my eye.
Me: Girl, Girl, come quick. Not too quick, though.
Girl: (after she hurtles down the stairs) What is it, Mom?
Me: Look. By the pond. Next to the waterfall. Have you ever seen a bird like that? It’s huge. Have you ever seen a bird like that?
Girl: You called me down here for this? Not funny, Mom.
Me: What? I’ve never seen a bird like that. It’s HUGE. We’ve got to figure out what it is.
Girl: You’ve never seen a bird like that because it’s a chipmunk sitting on a rock. shakes her head Put on your glasses.
I put on my glasses. Oh.
Chipmunk? What chipmunk?! Dang, that is one HUGE bird. What is that?!

Yep, if you squint and step way back from it (my vision without glasses), the chipmunk is a head and beak and the rock is the body. :p Glad you see it too, Ellen. 8)

Too funny, Jen. But it would make an interesting bird. :-)

I’m so sorry, Jen, but that’s hysterical.

It took me a minute to see it…
So much for 3K of Lasik surgery.

I looked at your picture with my glasses ON and I would have said it was a bird. Must be time for my eye exam. :)

LOL, guys! It’s not the clearest photo in the world, but it’s sort of like a Rorschach (now that I just crucified that spelling!)test.
