At first glance this picture registered to me as a sapient poo emerging from a cushion to check out the coffee



















Donkey sheltering from heat, Greece



Mars


Contrary to appearances, this is not an island -- it's a farm on the North Sea coast of Germany, where the land is very flat, and this picture was taken during an unusually extreme high tide


Gdańsk, Poland (formerly Danzig, Germany)


The Book Barn, Niantic CT


Colorado sunrise and sunset, photos by Lady M


Erice, Sicily



Guatapé lake, Colombia










There's something disquieting about this uniform -- the 33 on the collar puts me in mind of the old SS logo

The carriages in the fog bring Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper to mind.

Love all the funnies and the gymnast is my favorite. I hope there weren't to many folks there and that he was wearing underwear. I spewed my coffee.

Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥

How do these golf and skateboard fails nail it so perfectly? You couldn’t pull it off on purpose if you tried. Also, that auto interior is definitely another Red Green project.

Lady M: I was thinking of something spooky from that era.

Sandee: The place didn't look crowded, but he still suffered the humiliation of his pratfall being immortalized on video.

Tim: I imagine the total number of skateboarding and other pratfalls is enormous, and video recording is pretty ubiquitous these days. It's only the most entertaining one percent or so of them that get posted to the internet.

The car going into the rotating whatever it is, was so cool. Of course I snagged a couple of these to share on FB.

Lots of fun interesting stuff. I thought the converted Volkswagen was so neat that I tried to find it through Google Lens. Alas, I was unsuccessful, but found others worth a post someday. And, the image of the mother-son taken a couple of decades apart was very sweet.

Mary: I'm sure it's an unholy portal into some monstrous alien dimension filled with eldritch abominations and high gas prices.

Ricko: That's the only VW limo I've ever seem. It must have been a special project by someone.

The picture of the changing mother/son roles evoked some strong feelings for me, given my own history.
