Pic and a Word Challenge #192: Eyes

We’ve been having some pet misalignment. Luckily, we are just visiting.

The eyes have it.
 
Hers:  
brand new,
fearless,
easily amused,
I-am-here-now-deal.
 
His, as he looks at me:
“Tell me she is not going home with us.
Did you see?  
She doesn’t stop.
She doesn’t sleep.
She knows no fear.
She will attack me
when you least expect it
and that will be the end of me
and you will all cry at my funeral.
Little black fluffball, sure!
With devil’s eyes!”   
 
And then it’s dinner time.
Steaks, almost from the picture.
He reminds us 
he is not willing to share the leftovers,
not because he is “the only child”
but because he is a beast  
and she is clearly old enough to eat meat.
Who has the devil’s eyes now?

Here is a selection of eyes that I have to deal with. In other news, Rome is hot and on the brink of a new garbage crisis. The last one was around Christmas when it was cold. Imagine full, rotting garbage containers now.

• 

  Hard to believe he was once as innocent. (2013)

• 

  A Slovenian butterfly with make-believe eyes.

• 

  Canadian goose (correct?) far from home, in Slovenia.

• 

  A Piran seagull. There are others.

• 

  Eyes to see you better.

• 

  Like this. In Porta gialla, Borgo Carige, for Tuscan Oktoberfest.

• 

  Mr. Very Oldman. (His words.) Or is it Dustin Hoffman from “Hook”?

• 

  This year’s Carnival in Orbetello. She depicts social media: beautiful on the outside, ugly on the inside.

• 

  The Oracle, by Niki de Saint Phalle, Giardino dei tarocchi. She might be blind but her snakes can see.

• 

  Also there. The Hierophant, Card No. V.

• 

  Here the buildings have not only eyes but the third eye too. By Blu. Via delle Conce, Ostiense, Rome.

• 

  Villa Pamphili park, Rome.

• 

  By Maksim Azarkevič. Rog, Ljubljana, Slovenia. January 2017.

• 

  By My Dog Sighs. Trastevere, Rome. He nailed the Italian eye.

• 

  Also in Trastevere, by Dhoroni. She has suuuuch sad eyes. I should return during the day.

• 

  Just in from Split, Croatia. She caught father’s eye. Photo: BM.

• 

  One from the naked Barbie in the garden. Her eyes are merely painted! At least the dolls I played with had balls in there.

• 

  I scared this one.

• 

  One zoomed in from the roof. I wanted to see how bestia looks when he doesn’t see me. He still does.

• 

  This is an old photo, but the little one looks just like the present menace, if you ask dog.

• 

  I’ve posted this one before but this is what I have to deal with. Two beasts.

• 

  And I only have one eye. In Piran.
