Faces in the Lake

They’re there if you look,
Look closer and see
The Lake Spirit’s faces
Or is it just me?

Some look quite human
Others appear to be elves
But they are clearly there
And I can count twelve

Some aren’t as clear
And some overlap
Some are like ghosts
And one’s like a cat

There’s a pig by the edge
And one with bright glowing eyes
And a dark hooded figure
That’s starting to rise

Out of the water
Reflected or not
Can you make out faces
Other than this lot?

Yep… it’s another can you see what I see post!

    I’m Baaack….! The problem with the computer was the evil fact Microsoft was trying to install windows 10 into my computer uninvited! Talk about screw things up! Two weeks later and 160.00 I am finally free. Let all people know Windows is doing this to people’s computers. I’m hoping for a class action lawsuit to get my $ back. It is not wise to allow automatic updates or this can happen! What a hassle this has been. But I’m free as I said and happy. Will go now and look for the spirits in the lake. Love it! Hope all is well TL…..VK 🙂

      I’ve had to battle with my PC as it now has Windows 10 on it, but I managed to get past all the screw-ups (so Far!) which would have stymied anyone not familiar with Microdicks fuck-ups! 😦

      God Bless! 🙂

        Just know Prenin that windows 10 is by far the most egregious spyware they have released to date. I was so glad to get it off my PC! Now it is back to being fast and problem free. Knock on wood…Good luck! VK

          I agree! 😦

          I turned off a bunch of stuff that was monitoring my PC activity from internet use to what I was writing in my mail!!! 😦

          Fortunately I don’t surf porn or plot to take over the Universe, but it is without doubt the worst piece of spyware I have ever seen!!! 😦

          Love and hugs my friend! 🙂

      I’ve been having that same issue and oddly enough just posted practically same link on Facebook by way of warning. …I’ve got 5 failed W10 installation upgrade attempts and one W10 security update also failed – for once a very poor due to bad weather mobile wifi device has proved very handy! Turned off auto updates last night and considering buying an Apple Mac in order to boycott MS!! I haven’t reserved W10 yet because I need to increase my capped data allowance 1st and there’s 2 major updates due out Nov and early next year so I’d rather wait till they’re already on and sorted. ..The arrogance of MS!!!! 😯

        If you can get into your files, look for file KB3035583…That is the win 10
        file! It will give you options what to do with it. Select HIDE….That will end the intrusion into your computer. Also check what IP server numbers your computer has. IP 6 is their latest launch because IP 4 could no longer handle all the people getting online. Delete IP 6 and stay with IP4…That too messed up my computer even after removing win 10 file…Once both were take care of all is well…Good luck. Apple is not much better. All these companies are owned by the Govt…Good luck…VK 🙂

          Thanks VisionKeeper 🙂 IP Server is IPv4 so that’s all ok and I found the update – I knew about it but let it be since it wasn’t hurting me at the time! (July) Can’t hide it on W8.1 that I can see, only uninstall it since it’s already there. I will hold fire and keep an eye on the updates since MS aren’t saying whether they will just re-download it if I uninstall it – like with the mandatory updates on W10. Usually have auto updates off as I still have to manually download and install the optional updates and check for the ones the capped data protection control stops from d-loading without my say so. Other thing is if MS insist on installing on all W7, 8 and 8.1 I would assume they aren’t planning on continuing to support them despite saying theywould originally till around 2018, 2020. That could be a big problem and force upgrades anyway. I can’t believe the arrogance of MS, but I also intensely dislike Apple, being an Android phone lover and Apple being in direct competition…but I do half like their Mac computers…not enough to give my gorgeous little Lenovo up though!! Here’s hoping MS will give up on further W10 d-loads for my laptop after 5 fails on it! If I want it I’ll reserve when I’m good and ready thanks!! Again, thanks for the great advice 🙂

    Lovely poem, Tom. I believe! I think I could stare at this lake all day. I’m sure the spirits are there if you allow yourself to see them.

          I have spotted the odd one or two over time, Amy… usually in trees or clouds though; not very often in water I must admit!

    I’m not very good at spotting faces until you point them out, Tom. Good thing your eyes are sharp enough for both of us!

    Interesting opening pic, but constructing a poem based on images in the water is absolutely brilliant. Well done, Tom.

    PS: I see Rumpelstiltskin.

      I’m not surprised Rumpelstiltskin’s there – he’s not alone!

    I’m not afraid. No, I’m not afraid. I thought I would say that to myself and I wouldn’t be afraid. Great photo or painting until I read the poem and was afraid, very afraid. 😳
    I guess I should mention I’m a scaredy cat.
