Male - #46

There are those who don't see beyond the boundaries of themselves,  who spend their lives looking for elusive happiness, never knowing if they turned their sight outward and gave of themselves they might find fulfillment.
"An empty man, filled only with himself".    ~ Edward Abbey

Smile - #14

After two very somber entries, I decided it was time to lighten up with #12 - Smile.   The most wonderful smiles are those of babies, with their eyes full of innocence and trust. 
"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."   ~ Carl Sandburg

 Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers - stern and wild ones - and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss. ...       ~The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne

Cave - #21

This is a blending of a number of images of caves and cavemen and cave painting.  I used some filters to try to achieve a sense of depth.   Thanks for looking!

Half - #20

It was not mentioned in polite family circles, but Aunt Eloise was ambivalent about her sexuality ......

Puzzle - #98

Does juxtaposition
Come to fruition
Or circle in square
Belong just there
Would it all be a tangle
Without a rectangle
Maybe an oval would do
Ahhh, 'tis a puzzle, 'tis true.

Upside Down - #17
