Silent Sunday: A Visit from Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin

 

When I was a child we used to lay in the grass and look up at the clouds and describe the things that we saw. We would try to get our friends to see what we saw. Evidently I never quite grew out of the game and I have since taken it to the extreme. Last fall I shared a rooster with you that reminded me of Tina Turner and today I have a pansy that reminds me of Charlie Chaplin. LOL! Perhaps it's the daylight savings time messing with my brain!  LOL!

"A day without a laugh is a wasted day."

~ Charlie Chaplin

This is one of the few survivors from the winter freeze. When I looked at it, I thought of Charlie Chaplin! It's funny what we see in photos. Last summer I had a shot of a rooster that reminded me of Tina Turner....

Flowers are some of God's greatest handiwork! So beautiful! I just planted a bunch in the front yard, but I didn't see any Charlie Chaplins or Tina Turners - I'll have to look again and maybe I'll see something!

Endre:  How fun! He wasn't too crazy about America, right?

Rose: I added the rooster link/tina video so you could see that one. Pretty funny!!

Haha, Roger!  I see a giant bow, like the ones BL used to put in my hair back when I couldn't fight her off!  Happy Monday, Joni!

Funny Joni.  I see Groucho Marx when I look at the pansy!  It just needs a cigar!  :-)

Now that is funny.  I stared at that pansy for well over a minute and never saw Charlie Chapman.  But, I did see a bird in flight coming toward us with his beak open. . .I have no idea what that says about me. . .LOL

I think that pansy really does look like Charlie Chaplin. My other half is always looking at the pansy faces trying to make something out of them. We just got back from Balboa Park where he took 90 pictures of all the flowers blooming. That was in just 30 minutes!
