PAREIDOLIA

WE ALL LOOK AT CLOUDS AND SAY THAT THEY LOOK LIKE SOMETHING SUCH AS AN ELEPHANT OR A WHALE.

THIS MORNING I WAS READING ABOUT THE NEW BBC BUILDING AND I WAS REMINDED OF ALBRECHT DÜRER'S "THE TOWER OF BABEL".

ARE THEY TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING?

    More on the subject of pareidolia, I picked the first Black From Tula tomato today. 449 grammes. Haven’t tasted it yet.

    I turned it over and saw The Lone Ranger. 😁

     :D  @pansyface Is the Lone Ranger's mis shapen nose due to Tonto biffing him after getting fed up with always having to be No. 2 in their partnership ??

    The Lone Ranger in later life, after he’d lost his teeth.

    Yes, when it was on the plant, it had the look and feel of one.😁

    I haven't got any tomatoes even remotely ripe. :'(

    Ah well, the south facing, under floor heated conservatory does help a bit.

    Every year, the tomatoes move in and we move out. This year they’ve been joined by some mini cucumbers. I’m a bit overwhelmed by mini cucumbers at the moment - 10 eaten, another 17 ripening so far and counting.

    There’s a similar squad on the other side of the room. 😊
