What is it? #70 - Strange tree carvings?

Can you believe I've kept up this practice of taking random pictures of things which look like something else for SEVENTY posts??? No, nor can I!!!
I do like exercising my imagination in this way though and I hope you do too!

If you've not taken part before, the premise is that you have a look at the image I've provided and you see if you can see an image beyond the obvious, i.e. a tree, and you then leave me a comment to say what you see.  Then we get to see if we all saw the same thing or we get to say "Oh YES, I can see it now you say it?" or "Er, I can't see that1" or "Hurrah, we all saw the same thing!".  Whichever, I love it when you join in with this!

I was walking in Thorndon Country Park on New Year's day and I was looking out for interesting fungus on the trees and saw these curious shapes which made me think of something else.  Can you see something in those shapes?  


What about last time?
I shared this cloudscape.  As I looked at it, I could see a Triceratops dinosaur or some sort of Rhinocerous's head- it's in the middle and it is looking to the right- it has a hooded eye, big eyegrow and a horn near the end of its nose.  It seems to be glaring at some other, half-formed creature, nose to nose.  Perhaps a poodle?  Even as I've typed this, I can see a black cat's head, half-seen on the left of the picture- it has one point black ear visible, one eye looking balefully at me and it seems to have a little white chin with black lips. 


What did any of you readers think or see?  Disappointingly, only three comments, but MUCH appreciated, those 3!
Ooh, Sophie saw my cat though I can actually see that she saw a DIFFERENT cat, curled up uncomfortably in the middle, just as she described!
Bev also saw the same uncomfortable creature lying and craning its neck behind it, but saw an Alpaca which I also see.
Similarly, Ivana saw the creature with its neck at an uncomfortable angle.  She also sees something with horns and a dinosaur and like me, kept seeing all sorts!
I loved seeing your responses!

  1. I'm seeing an angry cat which was laying down and something has annoyed it so it sat up quickly and hence the uncomfortable position and squared neck.

  2. It's an animal lying down and craning its neck to look at something behind it. I think maybe an alpaca or llama.

  3. I see a giant dragon with his head lowered toward his back. It seems to me like he is talking to a chicken that is resting on his back. The clouds right next to him look like a bull and a T-rex. I'm seeing all sorts of things here.

What is it? #65 - The coat that wasn't a coat!

I was at my Mum's back at the start of June, staying the night.  As I was reading and just about to go to bed, I looked down to the end of my bed to where a camel-coloured coat of my Mum's sat folded with a purple crocheted hat sitting on top.  Except, I didn't just see a coat...


What do you see in the image above?  Do leave a comment sharing what you saw!

What about last time?

From an episode of "The Twits."
If you recall that I served CBC an experimental dinner using some odds and ends from the garden including chive flower petals. He saw the above chive petal and was HORRIFIED as he didn't know what it was and only saw that it strongly resembled a TINY MOUSE!  He didn't believe me at first that it was a chive flower petal and sent a Whatsapp to his family saying, "This is it- we are like Mr and Mrs Twit- Kezzie is feeding me Baby mice secretly!  I totally saw it too!

  4. Easiest one yet, definitely a mouse (sorry to be eating that CBC!) I see the lion too in the cloud, then totally saw a dragon like creature with a large eye when I looked below that. Brilliant!

  5. it looks like a flower to me, sorry can't see anything else.
    ReplyDelete
  6. I see a tiny mouse.

    I definitely see the eye on the last one now you mentioned it. It looks really creepy!
    ReplyDelete
Little mouse and dead flower are the unanimous responses!  Ha ha! Maybe CBC had a point!

Anyway, please do leave me a comment saying what you think the coat resembles!!!

What is it? #63 Ambiguous clouds

Good day to you! Hope all is well with you!
I thought it was time for another round of What is it?  This, if you haven't been a participant before, is an interactive blog post (er, unlike all the rest...) where you scrutinize the provided image and provide your best idea of what you think said picture resembles.  In the case below, what does it resemble APART from a cloud!  I will then tell you in the next post, what I saw in the image!
DO leave a comment, I value people's comments on these posts as I adore hearing what you think it resembles.






What about last time's post?



Well, the interesting shadow,  made by the chandelier in the picture, looked to me, just like a ballet dancer.  She has her hands above her head in what is termed as '5th position'.  She is wearing a short tutu and she has her left foot pointed to the right-hand side. I'm not sure what the extra downward part is- perhaps she's got a loose thread on her tutu!?

What did my wonderful 9 commenters see?

  1. I think it looks like a pirouetting ballet dancer wearing a tutu. X

  2. I see a ballet dancer wearing a tutu and her arms are extended over her head doing a pirouette. like Jules said.
    Hugs, Julia

  3. I do see a ballet dancer as well, Kezzie. I'm still struggling to see the rat you're seeing in the clouds ... xxx
    ReplyDelete
  4. The first one looks like a ballerina with her hands over her head and a stick or some kind of support next to her legs!
    ReplyDelete
  5. What fun, Kezzie! I saw a jellyfish swimming, caught just at the moment it squeezed its body together to expel water from under its body and propel itself forward. I'm glad that you got a break with your sister from the half term shenanigans. Take care!

  6. The shadow is definitely some sort of lighthouse
    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm the only one seeing something rude which I shall not name.
    ReplyDelete
  8. I see the ballerina too, but to me she looks like she's pole dancing.
    ReplyDelete
  9. To me it looks like a squid.
    ReplyDelete
OOh, there were some great ideas here! Lots of you (Jules, Julia, Jan, Ann, Bev), saw the same ballet dancers as me (and a pirouette begins with a pointing of the toe to the side so we concur on dance steps too!).  I totally see the squid too Fundy and Ivana and the lighthouse (Wembley  (by the way, can you leave me your blog url please as I can't ever seem to find a link to a blog with your name usually and I'd like to visit!)  and er- the unmentionable that Sophie mentioned.



So... do share what you think you saw. I would be intrigued to hear your thoughts.  I actually see TWO different images in this one depending on how I look at it!

Belated Fireworks

This year, not only did I go the overly crowded local fireworks display but my Dad invited CBC and I over to partake in fireworks and a meal with them and my sister, her husband and niece. It was a delight to see them and enjoy such fun revels but just being there together was great. My dad has been really supportive over my house-buying questions and queries which is always such a comfort!


Anyway, I had mislaid my battery charger for 2 weeks so I was super glad to finally find it on Saturday! I took a variety of fireworks photos which I am rather pleased with!
 I love the corkscrew path of this one.
 The bokeh effect of these two was pleasing!
 This one was a complete fluke as my shutter speed was really slow and it took about 7 seconds for the camera to actually capture a picture so I had no idea what was going to come out!

 This one below reminded me of a flamboyantly-dressed ballet dancer with her arms in a rather droopy 3rd position, pointing her toe to the right.


 The eerie shadows of pyrotechnics made for a rather atmospheric shot!

 My favourites were these Golden showers ones!
 And the aftermath of a fireburst was this sky of glitter!
 The drama of this one was a delight.
 Swooping, soaring and fizzing in a frenetic manner, there was not a dull moment!
 This flimsy-looking one was a complete contrast to the others.





 After the display had finished, sparklers were sought and lighted by blowtorch!
 It was rather fun to work with such a slow shutter speed!





I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did!
