You SILLY *Rascal*...Pascal! lol! I'm going to guess that it is a baby mole but...unless Eo knows, it will remain a mystery...until someone *comes forward* (lol!) to claim this to be the truth! ;-)
The SILLY things we get animals to do! WHO thought of getting an elephant to waterski?! Unless it is a necessity for the work that is required of him (that might be on a [hopeful] nearby shore), I hope there isn't any resentment building in this [here] elephant's brain!
Somebody give that poor dawg some Prozac!! He looks like the saddest soul in the world! :-(
I bet *Mummy* sitting in the audience would be PROUD of her twin girls [conveniently] *forgetting* to wear their bras to their piano recital! lol! ;-)
The second picture from the bottom is a contrast view of the world.
The soldiers wearing full battle gear, weapons drawn ready for action. Then the young child wearing red, blowing bubbles. Seemingly with out a care in the world.

The young girls seem to be rebelling against the endless hours of lessons, practicing and giving up time, they would have rather used to pursue the things that actually do interest them.
They set their breast free because they want to be free also. Joe

Thanks for *setting me straight,* Joe. I *got* the rebellion but...missed the rest...oddly...'cuz I can TOTALLY relate: I did classical piano for 8 years and hated every single minute of it and...I have the same *preference* as they seem to be portraying, as you mention, in the last paragraph. Maybe it stems from that rebellion but...I'm more leaning to it being my Danish genes! lol! :-)
I have a LOT to learn about interpreting the meaning of art/photos. I appreciate what you share, here. Thanks. :-)
Joe said... "I try to find the story being told in a picture. This was what it said to me."
I'd say that your interpretation was, uh...*spot on* Joe! Much better thought through than mine! You must know a little about time spent w/music lessons...or other..that you(?) didn't care for!
"To you it may be a completely different story."
Not too much. I just *saw* a rebellion @ a recital! lol! Their *act of rebellion* in not wearing the bras in the middle of the entire gathering would have been the *ultimate* "take that!" to their mother/parents(?)/ Grandparents(?!)! lol! Sadly, they probably wouldn't think of the ramifications for themselves, nor others, afterwards...at school, home, or anywhere else...the rebellion that courses through the veins in the teenage years! Yikes!
"The picture did bring a smile to me, you can almost hear Mom gasp. Joe"
Oh, good; you *saw* and *heard* Mom, too, then! lol! :-) I must burn this image into my mind. I would shutter to think of this happening to ME w/my daughter! lol!
tc said... "You must know a little about time spent w/music lessons..."
My older sister was the talented one with music. I was the young child that was taken along when Mom took my sister to music lessons. It was a drive of several miles. So I sat though countless hours of lessons and practice as we waited to return home.
I can't play music but developed a appreciation for the effort that musician put forth to well play. A song can have many notes played but it only takes one off key note to break the mood of the song. Joe
Joe said... "My older sister was the talented one with music."
I hope your sister enjoyed -- and still enjoys -- her music. It's very rarely that I sit down to play piano, anymore, and...when I do, it is only something like *Fur Elise* or *Moonlight Sonata* that I play.
"I can't play music but developed a appreciation for the effort that musician put forth to well play."
Yes...me, too. I have always loved to listen to all sorts of music, knowing that the person/people has/have a gift and has/have worked very hard to get to where they have gotten with it.
"A song can have many notes played but it only takes one off key note to break the mood of the song. Joe"
Yes. I completely agree. That is why classical music was always so frustrating to me; it was a *forever* struggle to try to play something well and...it was even worse to try to learn the contemporary style, for me. :-(
A couple of years ago, I tried to learn guitar (because I really enjoy listening to and watching someone play one; and...I also like the portability of the instrument :-) but...that is also a very difficult instrument to learn! My fingers hurt and my hands cramped trying to get the correct chords.
I think that I'll go w/my *first* and *true love* of music in the form of voice lessons, some day. I have a hunch that I will do better with that. As you say, one note off can make all the difference and...I think that my ear was well *trained* with having a parent and grandparent who both played violins and...my grandfather also tuned pianos. :-)
You know what else I've been noticing about the twins pic?
The photographer could have had a little more *fun* w/this pic:
Have them lean their heads together; lose the name tags; flip their collars inside; take off the wrist [whatevers]; and...tweak their hands to same position, on both sides, they could almost pull off what could look like a mirror, they're almost *that* identical. The ribbon would still work, even; the right strand appearing to be a reflection of the left strand. :-)

She started out with the piano and moved to the organ. She has been the organist in our small church since her teenage years. Plays very well and I can rarely hear a off key note:-) Joe
