At breakfast time it’s bluebirds and butterflies, instead, along with a squirrel or two.

In the foreground: Pepe trying to pass as a cat?
Because: Judging from the size, that’s a male skunk – but where are his stripes? Mutation?

Skunk markings vary widely. A prominent stripe is most common, but they also come in all white (not albino) to all black.

Another Easter pic?
This one’s harder to see.

But you have to be suspicious when you see the left side (his right side) of the fellow on our left, and the clumsy mask (?) on the shortest woman.

If you can’t see it, squint and get it as far away as possible, or reduce the size. One idea is to download it and look at the thumbnail.

HINT:

It’s not Shrek!

It’s a composite of an AI modified/created photo of some people (2 cops, 3 women) with pizza, manipulated to fit the contours of a portrait of a man’s head, with a beard and mustache.

Look at it straight on, uncritically, you see the people and pizza.

Look at it smaller, tilted, and/or with squinty or half closed eyes, (or in the b/w thumbnail I posted below) you see the portrait instead.

Okay, this is an experiment.

Maybe it’s my poor eyesight, but I see the portraits exactly.

Sometimes I just don’t recognize the person, but there’s no guessing as to what the photo actually looks like.

But if you can’t half-close your eyes and look at it smaller, the other photo… the one it’s blended with… is distracting. In this case, that’s the pizza scene with cops and ladies.

I made it smaller, and black and white, to eliminate some of those details. But either WordPress, or the programming of this blog, makes all photos big.

So I can’t show it to you smaller, as is, and i don’t have software to paste it into a larger page with white space around it.

I finally realized I could screenshot the whole PostImage page, with the thumbnail, which would be small.

So here’s that page with the picture in black and white, at poor resolution.

Does that let you see the portrait?

Thank you.

I didn’t think anybody else was getting it.

Which is good for my lady-like reputation, but bad for the joke.

Um… right.

I agree, Susan. I found it in the regular size and then enlarged it to confirm, way toooo small and the enlarged feature was all fuzzy.

Come on….. she’s a serious musician.

She doesn’t bring her bazooka… unless, you know… she wants to shoot it or something.

Or there might be a cat in the audience.
Or she’s maybe… I dunno… wearing her blue dress?

Or her AK-47 is in the wash?
