Skull Flag

Deborah Carpenter said, "My husband requested a skull flag for the bike rack. I crocheted this one for him."

This is a fantastic flag. Reminds me of the one my great aunt made and put towards the back of her garage. She used it as a guide for backing up, so she wouldn't hit her work table. Didn't always work, but it did sometimes. Also reminds me of flags on bikes, so you can see them from a distance...or have a flag wave around as you ride. Makes me want to be a kid again.

Buried Treasure Skull

T-Bone sent us this photo, "from the Big Island of Hawaii".

This looks like the skull and crossed bones are made of white lava rock, which is a nice contrast against the black lava rock. I think this could definitely be marking some great buried treasure...skull treasure perhaps? Though I don't recall any tales of pirates voyaging to Hawaii, I guess anything is possible. How would one dig through lava rock to find treasure? A jack hammer? I think the only treasure under here might be more lava...which I don't want to go hunting for, so perhaps this is a warning to not dig and to venture on to the beach.
