Oh such a great tool @GMelbourne my problems felt lighter (by the tiniest molecule) simply by reading your perspective on.... Perspective!
I'm also keen for $ 20 massage 🙏
I took this photo 30 mins ago to remind me how big, big is🙂
I am only realising now - I have no earthly idea what those 2 black shapes are? I don't recall seeing them when I took the photo....🛸... They must be part of the tree, it's an optical illusion?

I think they have to be very cleverly placed birds. They are not there in the previous photo I took.
Enlarged photo of "eyes."
So creepy!

What a great photo @Madison you captured our loathsome weather today.

I think they might be birds mid flight, with their wings pressed against the body. It looks like their chests are puffed out too 🤔 @maddison @Shaz51 @tyme

I think they are birds too @Former-Member @Former-Member they really did look like eyes in the first photo @Shaz51 !
Yep sky is very pretty @EternalFlower it was around sunset & all sorts of dark gloom & glowing lights mixed together. I'm really looking at clouds differently these days.
Maybe looking at nature is one of my coping tools too.
