I wish I had the skills & programs to do this
Woke up earlier than I should have this morning. Tried to fall back asleep (and I did drift in and out for a while), but ended up designing an image in my head. One which I don't have the ability to make. But I can still describe it for you.
All of this is photo-realistic, not cartoon. It starts with a perfectly ordinary suburban house. Nothing fancy. Picket fence around a reasonably large front yard. It's the yard itself that's the focal point, and it looks odd, to say the least. For one thing, it's covered with bear traps, lawn darts (point up), an obvious pit trap (with branches strewn across it), and other hazards.
Out in front, there's a tree. A cat is sitting in one of branches. There's a large fish hook (with safety cap on the barb) attached to its collar. Higher up, there's a spool of fishing line hanging from a beehive.
Nearby, a stepstool sits next to a couple of old but sturdy milk crates. Two platforms are suspended on 12 foot high posts. There's a tire swing hanging midway between them (and bear traps on the ground below), but even if you could get up to the platform the swing would be out of reach. An old fishing rod (just the rod) rests on the near platform.
Below the far platform is a trampoline. Beyond that is a moat full of lava... lamps. A small grassy island inside the moat has a welcome mat on it. There is no clear, safe way to get from there to the front door.
A smartphone can be seen at the bottom of the image. A text message, in block letters, is on the screen. "COME ON IN. I LEFT THE KEY UNDER THE DOORMAT."
The name on the mailbox is "CROFT."
It's probably been done, but I hope it amuses. It seemed funny when I was half asleep.
