    I’m torn. Chalk outlines give me the willies. But I’m intrigued. Which is the whole point of photography, right?

    hehe Umm… creepy. But I’m sure it was drawn in innocence. I hope.

    I think it depends on who drew it and why.

  4. Dianne says:

    Hmmm . . . definitely one of those that causes you to stop and ponder. It is cute . . . in a creepy sort of way. Or is it creepy in a cute sort of way? Regardless, it makes for an interesting photo.

    It is different. happy ww

  6. A little of both! I think if you look at it through innocent eyes it is cute. But, as an adult it is a bit creepy.

    What I am most thankful for: http://tinyurl.com/6cdeb3

    The human outline is creepy but the ice-cream cone is cute. Happy WW! :)

    Call me morbid, but the ice cream cone off to the side leads me to think this creepy.

  10. Carina says:

    I see you dilemma! Creepy or cute… I don’t know!

  11. Debbie says:

    I’m thinking creepy. Drawn by a budding CSI ?

    Thanks for all the comments, and apologies for not having had the time to visit your WW posts yet — I’ll do that later today. So Maia (aged 2) and Kaia (the 5 year-old girl next door — the similarity of the two names did not occur to us when we named Maia) were playing outdoors, and the kids were drawing around each other. I did Maia, and it seemed cute at the time. But then looking at the photographs all I could think about was murder scenes. So this one reminded me of a CSI crime scene in which even the position of the ice-cream was noted. It’s a tough world out there. Some people will knock you off just for your maple-walnut ice cream in a waffle cone with candy sprinkles.

    HAHAHAHA I love that explanation, and the photo is just great! Happy WW~ Have a great holiday!

  14. Dee says:

    I think it was innocence. Sometimes as a child I use to draw chalk outlines around my friends all the time. I mean I didn’t know at 4 years old about homicide things

  15. I saw . . . a litte of both. The ice cream cone is cute, but we all associate an outline with something creepy. hehe

    Happy WW!
