Chicago odd

Let’s keeping looking for oddities in downtown Chicago. Crown Fountain is a fascinating spot where two 50-foot fountains feature photos of ordinary Chicagoans spitting water at each other. That sounds a bit odd but although not as iconic as The Bean, it’s just another thing that makes the downtown area unique and enjoyable. I encourage you to click on the highlighted link above and read about the fountain.

Here’s bonus, once-in-a-lifetime oddity: today’s date is 2.22.22 or, depending upon where you live, 22.2.22. 🙂

Wordless Wednesday: LA street art…faces

Thursday Doors…cockeyed

Because some days are just like that.  🙂  Not sure I’d want to come home to this every day, though.  Happy February!

COB Photo Challenge 2016, week 42…Face it!

As the Weekly Photo Challenge prompt seems to be lost in the ether, I’ll go ahead and post my response to the Oddball Photo Challenge for this week.  Here are two faces that appeared in my kitchen recently.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Face…Let’s face it.

 There are a lot of places you hear the word “face” used.

Face your fears.

She’s not just another pretty face.
I turned the corner and came face to face with my best friend.

Let’s face it.  These visages found at the Art Institute of Chicago aren’t your run-of-the-mill faces.  Even if they’re faces only a mother could love, it’s as plain as the nose on your face that they’re unique.  And which of us hasn’t felt the way that second face looks! But I could talk until I’m blue in the face.  To see what faces other bloggers have chosen, just click here.

You get the face you build your whole life, with work and loving and grieving and laughing and frowning.

A mask tells us more than a face.
~Oscar Wilde

Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.

Some days…

Haven’t we all had days like this?
