On the sides I see Bisons and in the middle I see butterflies, though one is upside down. At the top I see a new creature that is a cross between a dragonfly and a moth. ;-) Robyns last blog post..<a href="http://brainbasedbiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-i-learned-from-friends.html" rel="nofollow">What I Learned from Friends</a> What fun, Karen.

I was thrilled to find the pastel inkblot too, the black and white ones all look like bugs! :-) @Friar, Yay! You're back! Well I thought it looked like that too so this time you're not alone. LOL! @Robert, LOL! You are a funny man! @Melissa, ooh that is a beautiful image you painted there. I was thrilled to find the pastel inkblot too, the black and white ones all look like bugs! :-)

In the darkness, he accidentally stumbles into a freshly-dug grave. Unfortunately, his inebriated state prevents him from getting out, so he finally gives up and goes to sleep. Another drunk, also taking the shortcut through the cemetery, happened to stumble into the very same hole. He tried, without success, to climb out of the hole, but in doing so woke up the first fellow. In the darkness, the first drunk helpfully said to the second, "Don't try to climb out. You'll never make it." But he did! :-D Robert Hruzeks last blog post..<a href="http://middlezonemusings.com/a-little-help-from-my-friends/" rel="nofollow">A Little Help From My Friends</a> Speakin’ of digging holes… reminds me of an old joke:

The image is turned sideways and reflected. That's pretty cool. Most of the ink blots I've seen are in black and white and I really like that this one is in color. Adds a whole new dimension to the interpretation. I see a buffalo standing on the land and approaching water. The image is turned sideways and reflected. That’s pretty cool.

Isn't it amazing how it really does look like a perfect picture of the human anatomy but others clearly saw something different? Really drives home the point about perceptions. I learned a great deal from the comments! @Alex, your interpretation sounds like somewhere I'd love to visit too! Hmmm, I suppose that could reveal our need/desire to vacation. :-) @Robert, LOL! Don't go, don't go! :-) You know you are so right! I always read the entries and am amazed at how people interpret the project. The Zone is kind of like an ongoing inkblot, I love it! Um not to imply that you just splat stuff on the page. Oh gosh, now I will go quietly before I dig myself into a deeper hole. :-) @Evelyn, it really is an ink blot!

Oh, and regarding the ink blot - Having spent over a year working in Aruba, I see two iguanas perched above Mt. Hooiberg (the one prominent mountain on the island), spreading two Aruban flags wide and spraying water hoses above to get that nice rainbow effect. As for the butterfly... well, there IS a butterfly farm there.

What that would mean, I have no idea, but I think I'd want to visit a city with this crest...

Is this really an inkblot? It sure looks like a watercolor of a human anatomy to me. The colors look pleasant, nothing bold. I'd even venture to say that this human is a perfectly healthy one!
