Beetles in doors - whatever next! (I know you dislike the exclamation mark but I feel justified in using it) .Get back to writing your book, Frances, and stop procrastinating... we are all waiting for it!
Oh yes, these two are very well defined. Nobody could mistake them for anything other than two beetles. I used to see faces in the cracks of our old wooden bathroom door at the old house I grew up in.
Soon you'll have all of us looking for creatures imprisoned in the patterns of our lives. I don't doubt at all that they're there if we look for them. K
btw, I've written a story about a face on the floor. It wasn't until I read this post that I've realised it was probably prompted by your earlier posts on shapes in the furniture.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

ReplyDeleteOkay, okay. I've just got to read a couple of blogs and look at my emails and gaze out of the window. I'm a busy woman, Wendy.

Beetles it is, then. What's the German for beetles, Meike?
DeleteThe German for beetle(s) is Käfer, Frances. That's also what we call the beetle car over here, a Käfer.
DeleteDefinitely a pair of beetles. Winged ones! :-) x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wise woman you are, Teresa. But I thought those were legs...?

ReplyDeleteK
But I don't look for them, Kay. They just appear.
DeleteOne water boatman and a floating leaf, I reckon.

I demand half the royalties, Patsy. You can't go round pinching other people's ideas like this, you know.
DeleteAh ... I suppose it's too late now to deny everything?
DeleteI've done the same thing all my life. Faces, animals, objects, all appear all over the place.
ReplyDeleteNice to know I'm not alone, CM.
DeleteSuch observations probably make you a better writer, Frances!
ReplyDeleteIf only, Rosemary.
DeleteUgh, I think they've just crawled out of that hole.
ReplyDeleteWhat hole?
DeleteYou can't see the hole?
