    I think the whole thing is something only a mother could love, and then I'd have doubts about her eyesight!
    Great photo as usual, even if the subject is a bit less than attractive.

    Interesting what our eyesight does not tell us. I'm glad we are bigger, it must be a creepy world down at their level.
