Current polls reveal that people have mixed feelings: They want to go out in public again, but after months of quarantine they’re understandably nervous about exposure. That’s nothing new for the animal world. This semi-serious photo collection shows, or maybe doesn’t show (that’s sorta the point) how animals–and even some people–do it.

***MANDATORY BYLINE*** PIC BY TRINA MERRY/CATERS NEWS (PICTURED: A man blends into the stunning view of Mont St Michel in Normandy, France) – A New York artist has used body paint to perfectly camouflage her subjects into a variety of famous landmarks. Trina Merry, who specialises in bodypainting, line her subjects up and photographed them as they appeared to blend right into the scenery around them. The backdrops to her eye-catching art include the White House, Freedom Tower, Grand Central Station, the Golden Gate Bridge, and even Irelands Giants Causeway. By painting her subjects into a modern background, Trina is putting a modern twist on the oldest art form known to man. SEE CATERS COPY

Great pictures. That urban camouflage artist is phenomenal!
When my youngest son was about 4 years old, I had a daybed in my room where I displayed several large stuffed toys and dolls. One day I walked into the room and thought something was different about my display. It took me a few minutes to realize that my little boy had carefully arranged himself in a sitting position in the middle of my display. He was sitting there as still as a statue, not even blinking! Thirty-five years later, he is still precocious. 😀

Fun photos, Mitch! Too bad we can’t hide from our predator, Covid-19, as well as some of these animals can camouflage themselves!

Lovely to see the camouflage. Now if we could only make ourselves invisible to COVID.

Really fun photos. I think about going out a lot, too. But the risk of exposure is not small. Hard to say what will happen when restrictions ease.
