There goes one of the Three Blind Mice.

She did. Just look at the end of his tail.

This poor mouse has no luck, first the eyes then the tail…now this!

Have you lost feeling in your shoulder?

“Curly” taking some air . . . ☻

not 2012 yet but he still acheived ‘raptor’.

Looks like a sock puppet in the shadings of the right wing..Cute, Digital!

The origin of the ‘tale’ of Three blind mice!The origin of the words to the Three blind mice rhyme are based in English history. The ’farmer’s wife’ refers to the daughter of King Henry VIII, Queen Mary I. Mary was a staunch Catholic and her violent persecution of Protestants led to the nickname of ‘Bloody Mary’. The reference to ’farmer’s wife’ in Three blind mice refers to the massive estates which she, and her husband King Philip of Spain, possessed.

The ‘three blind mice’ were three noblemen who adhered to the Protestant faith who were convicted of plotting against the Queen – she did not have them dismembered and blinded as inferred in Three blind mice – but she did have them burnt at the stake

The 3 stooges?

No, just a little tinnitus, thanks.There are also faces in the other wing. Enlarged too much, I couldn’t spot them but did with lesser embiggening.

Is that a face with a goatee on the ground to the right of “Curley”?

Nyuk! Nyuk! HELP!

THANK YOU ALLAN

Always about where we are in the food chain…..
