Below: Sometimes, as the two
RV Gypsies are driving around, they notice unique shapes in the clouds.
This time, Karen Duquette saw a face - two eyes, a nose, an open mouth
and part of its chin. Not really a human face, but it is happy looking.
The photo was taken through a tinted window, so it is a bit on the "blue"
side. |
