Looking at a photograph we could all see something different. When I see this photograph the phrase that comes to mind is: I just want to blend in. This shed are outhouse blends well with the surrounding trees with the exception of bricks.
Okay so then my imagination got the better of me and I couldn't help thinking about all those people who try really hard to fit into peer group, a social group but there is always something sticking out just like those bricks.
My recommendation embrace your bricks.
Have a great Sunday.

Jennifer: When a girl needs a little peace and quiet to do her thing, there is nothing quite like a quiet place in the woods. I wonder if this little place has either cable or Dish Network ?
Jennifer, I agree. Embrace what you have, or who you are. Trying to fit in with some group may hide your best quality.
Blend in and run away....oh, did I say that out loud? oops
Jennifer, I didn't really even notice the bricks until I read the post.
I guess it's a little too large to be an outhouse .... but I admit the first thought that crossed my mind was "Built like a brick ****house"...... :-)
Karen - Once in a while I would love a hide-away especially out in the woods miles way from the nearest cable, a true disconnect from the world as we know it.
Lisa I couldn't agree more.
KarenYou did and now you can't take it back. :)
Pat That's my niche to pick up on what others miss :)
Cheryl I have seen outhouses that big on historic sites around here. This is on a historic site with wonderful history which I will be writing about. I agree it is built like a brick it has been around a long time.
Cheryl here is a large one at Locust Grove - Thomas Cole's home.
Just stopping by to invite you, and anyone reading this, to the ActiveRain Super Bowl Party. Stop by if you get a chance. Geaux Saints!
I like that... embrace your bricks! How very true.
Not quite "speechless" -- good thoughts.
Hi there,
Well said, btw I haven't seen one of these for years. My grandmother in Arkansas had one at their cabin on the lake.
I like it . . . embrace your bricks! Of course, this is more telling for some of us than others! ;-)
Jennifer that outhouse looks like a looooooong walk away. Most guys would probably just stop at the nearest tree ......... LOL
Jennifer - t looks like somebody gave careful thought to this blending into the natural setting and not letting it be an eyesore.
Hi Jennifer... I love your perspective on this photo. Most people would simply see a shed, it takes someone like you to see the analogy! :)
Jennifer, I LOVE IT!! Sometimes we just have to realize that we can't be put in a box because the box just doesn't FIT.
Jennifer,
Love it during the day, but just imagine the same scene during night 12:00 A.M LOL I would definitely not be around :)
Hi Jennifer, I like that idea "Embrace your bricks" we are all unique, it doesn't hurt to stand out a little :-)
Hi Jennifer - I LOVE this outhouse! It's special, and I agree - embrace your bricks! Makes me think of the old saying, A Brick &%$^ House! LOL
Debi
Actually, that outhouse looks like it has a face and is trying to hide behind those trees...sorry, long day.
Jennifer~
REALLY like this photo...some people like to take pictures of barns...I kinda' like the idea of classic outhouses...=)
Love the thought! Thanks for sharing it within the picture with your Friends on Fraiche Aire!

What a great title for this post! I didn't even notice the bricks right away.
Wow Jennifer, that "home" would fetch at least $1/4 million here on Kauai and probably rent for $900/month. Unfortunately it wouldn't cash-flow unless one harvested those majestic trees which I'd not want to do.
