Hi DB and Happy3, how are you doing? Isn’t life great? Sure beats the alternative! Found out that my grandson (8 years old) is starting baseball. His dad is ecstatic. I’m sure a few more people here will respond to you as well. Enjoy!
I thought for a moment that it was a real person who’d endured hours of special make-up… But I soon realized it couldn’t be, with those eyes.
It wasn’t till then that I noticed that it’s tiny… Only a face, not a whole head, being held between someone’s thumb and forefinger.
The file name says it’s a sculpture….
Google says “This intricate artwork is a micro-mosaic sculpture created by Italian artist Rebecca Di Filippo, depicting a human face using hundreds of tiny, iridescent sea shell fragments.”
Pretty amazing… Its gaze seems to shift as it’s moved.
Yes… And many of them joined and divided and reassembled and split again….
Some of these names were used for tiny segments of the current nations, others were for vast areas that once encompassed some of today’s separate nations.
Still, there’s probably some historical basis for all of them
This is as close as we’re gonna get with a Saturday puzzle, and we’re creatures of habit around here.
No Tuesday “Find the Differences” puzzles…. even if Cinco is coincidentally Taco Tuesday this year!
I thought this one looked daunting, but IMHO it’s actually not subtle.
I do recommend a right click to open it in a new window, or preferably a download, to enlarge it a bit… On a tablet or phone, two fingers to stretch it.
The wide format makes it look smaller… but everything is pretty visible anyway…. And it’s got the normal nine, not a diabolical ten differences.

Wow….he hasn’t moved a muscle since yesterday…..
(Sorry)
Still sleeping, eh? Must be shagged out from chasing squirrels.
Best pic we’ve had for this dog haiku:
I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be

You can bet that was one happy pooch. He probably thought he had hit the lottery.
As far as I can tell, dogs see what IS.
They’re very pragmatic.
They do long for things… food, certain people, a run in the park…. but AFAIK, they don’t understand luck.
It’s too abstract, comparing possible outcomes, or mulling future scenarios, like what they’ll do IF something happens.
I’m sure he was wildly happy, but it probably never occured to him, once he found them, to picture any other ways it could have gone.
Oh, when we love them, we anthropormormise the heck out of them. Is that a regular word, or did I just make a new one up?
Very true.
So maybe in our minds they buy lotto tickets.
As for the word… Nothing wrong with making up words… some days it’s the only exercise I get.
That one, though, is very very close to a real one… except for a teensy weensy glitch.
S’OK.
The word you are looking for is “anthropomorphize.”
MICROCHIP them!
Hope it’s a true story.

If you don’t… It’s also in the filename.
I Googled it, though, to find out the occasion… But all I could find was that it was 1981.
On one site, there was text on the image, saying they were together to celebrate “the 200th episo…” And it cut off right there.
I couldn’t think what it might be… But the 200th episode of SNL was much later, with a later cast, and not many other shows seem to fit this group.
So it’s probably not even true.

Reminds me of Disney’s first Fantasia (1949?), with the sprites touching each leaf and blossom with dew.

You too!
And everybody else, of course.

“We’re just going to move you a little way down the…” “NO!!!!”

Does posting comments count as “Social Connection”? If not, I’m in trouble…I’m pretty much a hermit.
Recluse here.
Me three.
Didn’t mean to leave you out, you just posted after I did. Happy Friday (at the moment). Always glad to see you here.
Thanks, and likewise.

Maybe how astronauts would sleep as well, given lots of room around them.
Saturday mornings
Yep!
That’s when we also watched Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, and Sgt Preston of the Yukon.
That’s some DRY skin! Looks like she needs a LOT of hydration!

I can’t read that.

“My daughter’s a eunuch?”
Oh sure, but I’ll bet they had lots of different names before the little guys were conquered and consolidated.
Yes… And many of them joined and divided and reassembled and split again….
Some of these names were used for tiny segments of the current nations, others were for vast areas that once encompassed some of today’s separate nations.

And no, I didn’t do the modification…
Happy Cinco de Mayo Eve Eve Eve!
