Having recently re-watched "Back to the Future" it's the size of the Camcorder that buggles me. I get better video on a pocketable Samsung phone (and a cheap one). "Back to the Future" is almost infinitely re-watchable because someone Marty's age now would regard that phone as just "as out time" as Doc Brown found the idea of a camcorder. But what is truly interesting is the fashion in clothes and music and this has an eternal recurrence of about 27 years.
Lots of fun animal ones. I always enjoy all the European city photos. And yes, why do so many fruits, vegetables, and flowers resemble human genitalia?
My favorite is the kitty conference!
Lots of beautiful ones on this go around!
Bwahahahahahahaha. I can't pick a favorite. Well done.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥
That last one resonates with me a lot.
I love any space photos you post.
I love capybara's. They are so sweet.
I'd trust the alligator more than that creepy clown. lol
Have a great week.
NickM: I'm sure someone from almost any recent year would be startled by the reduced size and increased capabilities of technology thirty years in their future. But at least people in 1985 didn't carry around camcorders and gawk at them all the time.
Bijoux: Animals are amusing, and there's nothing like those old European cities.
I think it's that given the huge number of different fruits and vegetables that exist, inevitably some look somewhat like human genitals -- and those are the ones we notice the most.
Paula: I wonder what foul conspiracy they're hatching.
Darrell: Thanks! I have plenty more.
Sandee: Thanks for compiling these on your blog.
Anon: I still think the actual horses are funnier.
I had to delete your comment because it contained an unclosed HTML tag which was messing up formatting for everything else (I can't edit comments). Also, it's fine to include links, but I'd rather they linked to an actual source of information rather than a Google search.
Ricko: Well, if you die, let us all know how it works out.
Mary: Must remember to include more space photos.
Capybaras are just funny-looking somehow. I don't know what it is.
