We have this old tree stump beside the track up to the house. I drive by it every day and really never look at it. Until the other day. The texture and grain of the wood caught my eye and out came the camera. So, why is that disgusting? Well, when I was doing a bit of the old pp,my imagination kicked in. Is it just me, or can anyone else discern in it a kangaroo attempting to have its wicked way with a vulture?

Well seen.

Re: I call this disgusting. Warning. This is an X-rated post!
You know, at this point, I have no fear of going into these posts. I see the title and think, "Oh, good! A post from Rob or Mr. K!"
Oh, or a naughty bug shot from Bill!
Well, I decided not to look for 'it' and was enjoying all of the textures and colors - "lovely," is what I was thinking and, then, I saw it and, now.... so sorry - I can't see anything else. snort.

Once you mentioned it, I could see the X-roo in your image. However, I am always the last person in a group to see the animate shapes in inanimate scenes.
Piggy-Backing on that, I could never see how the Ancients viewed people and animals in a cluster of stars... Big and Little Dipper aside, I can never see the Orion or other shapes in a constellation...

Me? Butterflies? Oh no, but quite innocent. I don't want to intrude on Ken's thread, so I'll post the proof to you in a PM. I think the problem was that they'd never seen anything at all in their carpets, and I thought everyone did Originally Posted by davidstringer

Re: I call this disgusting. Warning. This is an X-rated post!
Well, actually... I'm pretty sure it's an emu instead of a vulture. But you do have a point; a vulture really would have been disgusting!

Ken, Don't worry, you are not alone. I finally found an article I was searching for. You're in great company here: Originally Posted by ucci

Re: I call this disgusting. Warning. This is an X-rated post!
Like Frank, I too make the cut on the age group. However I must say I was bitterly dis-appointed upon opening your thread. I've warned you before about these provocative titles Ken but you're not listening. You've descended into the depths of despair.
I probably wouldn't have noticed the hidden image had you not mentioned it but I can see it now. So you've polluted my mind. Can we get back to parrots and galahs please ?
PS Nice image
Cheers Dave

Re: I call this disgusting. Warning. This is an X-rated post!
Thank you to all who viewed and commented. Very much appreciated and I enjoyed reading your comments.
Now there is good news and there is bad news! The good news? Glenise is back from Turkey. The bad news? She saw this X rated post and gave me real flea in my ear. Things like "disgusting old man, you're sick, I can't leave you alone so there will be no more holidays for me as I just can't trust you to behave, You didn't take your tablets whilst I was away did you? etc. ........" I reckon I got out of it pretty lightly. But she did reckon you lot are very clever and that your replies were very funny.
So, after a good talking to by the Boss I am now a reformed person
and not likely to be a recidivist
Well Dave, I guess its back to the old parrots and galahs.... boring!!!!!
