Peep Show

The correct age of a marshmallow peep is somewhere between 3 days old and finding last years lost peep deep in the Easter basket with the crinkled cellophane grass stuck to the peeps side where the peeps’ Siamese brother had been separated the previous Easter.

JustBorn Inc of Bethlehem PA cranks out nearly 700 million of the pastel treats on a yearly basis. Each peep requiring a 6 minute gestation period.

The following link provides a view into a combination of sweet extruded creativity and people who have considerably too much time on their hands.

Do yourself a favor and flip through the 40 finalist of the diorama contest.

A special note to my friends in the north east. New this year – JustBorn and Rita’s ICE are combining for Peep flavored Rita’s. I'm serious, I never kid about Rita's. Hurry – the special flavor ends at Easter. Personally I’m holding out for the black cherry and gelato mix this summer. Ohhhhhh, so good!

Where's Waldo

I hope you find the following photos as interesting as I do. I can’t recall where I first came across these photos of Chinese artist Liu Bolin, but as the days of winter, where things seem to blend together, pass I thought it be a good time to present them.

He spends up to 10 hours or more blending himself into the environment. These sets of photos are sometimes referred to as ‘Hiding in the City’ or ‘Camouflage’ depending on which site you elect to believe what you see. Either way I hope you enjoy the pics.

I was going to try and do the same by painting my daughters into their favorite scene, but Sponge Bob Squarepants moves around to much for them to blend in very well.

And one of my personal favorite of Liu Bolin.

Don't know about you, but I can't wait for spring where blending in seems a whole lot harder to do. You can easily find additional pictures through a quick google.
