PhotoHunt: Different

It's a PhotoHunt Two-fer!!

So I've gone back to my archives for this. There just hasn't been enough time to take pictures this week. When I think "different," I think of two different (ha!) concepts:

A difference in perspective

and

Something outside the norm

So there you are. The world seen through the literal bottom of a wineglass (so not only looked at in a way you wouldn't normally think of, but also through chemically altered eyes) and a one-eyed pirate cat. Technically, both are making you consider reality in a new way. The very physical presence of the different, of the unexpected, requires your brain to either ignore it or to find a way to make the new stuff fit. Which means that encountering difference always makes you different, too.

And that's a very, very good thing.

Very creative photos. I love the cat.. the pirate cat that is.

He's a fabulous cat. As full of it as one would expect a pirate cat to be. Funny, feisty and hesitantly sweet. He's lived with us for almost four years now, but is still quite diffident about asking for love.

Two great photos. I know I'm so late for "Different" that I'm almost early for "I-Spy", but I love these, and I agree with what you say. I tend to think along straight lines, but this weekly task forces me to think differently.
