Random Weird Travel Photo

Yikes. LOL!

Photo is of the back of a public transport in Holland. Wouldn’t you do a double-take, seeing one of those on the street!

Photo Hunt: Surprise!

This is a great theme for this week, and I’m going to love visiting everyone’s blogs. The theme is surprise! I haven’t had my coffee yet this morning…. so the creative juices are not running full throttle yet… but here goes.

Wherever we go, I am always surprised that my kids find the most creative, most humorous things to do. They surprise me with their whimsy and fun.

They have great appreciation for science.

And nature.

And especially music.

They reach for the moon!

And some get a little carried away…

Photo Hunters: Scary!

This was another really tough one for me this week! I find bugs to be very, very scary.. but it’s late October here and all our bugs are either frozen by now or are migrating down to annoy you folks in the south, hee. But I brainstormed with the kids and guess what? I FOUND SOMETHING REALLY REALLY SCARY! It’s THIS:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am the computer technician in the house, and we have.. SIX computers! So when I see this, my hair goes white and my knees start to clatter.

But you know what’s worse? That image is from a screen saver! It’s a program you can download and install on your computer! (Or as a nasty, nasty prank but we don’t want to be doing that, do we? An infuriated co-worker or spouse would be ever scarier!). You can see for yourself– information about this scary screen saver program is here.

One other scary thing I thought of was a work of art we saw this week at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute museum. I didn’t get a photo, though– I was videotaping. It’s a short video, you can see the big bug here. It was quite startling to enter the museum and see this huge spider dangling from the second floor! The artist did a great job, too– it looks real!

How did your Photo Hunt go today?
