    I have to tell all of you that I studied that image for some time because something was off - well duh- It's Escher! The footprints appear to me to be all made by the right foot- both coming and going....so is that person hopping or what? Hence my little poem.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
