On this day, the Ides of March, in the year 44 BC,
Julius Caesar had more than just a bad hair day.
He was assassinated in a ghastly manner by not only his foes, but his friends as well.

Because I don't happen to have any photographs of that event in my archives, I instead present to you my take on the "eyes" of March.

  14. Genuinely creative!

    I see, yesterday's post was a dedication to Venus.
    Today's for Mars.
    The Ides of March was once dedicated to Mars, the Roman god.

    I finally worked out the missing link!
