What Is It Wednesday #60
Here’s last Wednesday’s picture:
This is the shot it was cropped from:
Dew was the first of MANY to get this right: “Easy this time! A McDonald’s fries box in the grass.” By the way, there will be a blog entry about this soon…it’s really quite amazing how McDonald’s is so recognizable!
Shirley and Mel had answers that made me laugh:
Shirley: “well, I was going to say the same as Dew, but for the sake of fun and variety, I’ll say ” the front of a brightly painted pirate ship as viewed through tall tropical reeds”.”
my cousin, Mel: Anyone can easily see that it is a witch’s slipper left in the grass as her broom lifted her off the ground and into the air. I understand that finding these slippers is very rare because they vanish in the moonlight. Good find Jan!
As always, thanks for playing! By the way, all photos used in What Is It Wednesday are marked as “private” in my flickr account…that’s so no one can view the picture at a bigger size to get a better look!
So this week…
What is it?
***EDITED***
Let me rephrase: What is it in the picture of the lovely garden that might be unusual?

A postcard from an alternate dimension where the Black Pearl easily fits on a lake in your backyard with a 20 ft plant where Capn Sparrow scampers down to the walk at midnight only to meet you under the moonlight with curlers in your hair, a mud mask on your face and a screaming shiba on the end of the leash. Oh wait, that’s my luck, not yours. Ahem, and you live happily ever after amen.

is this the hiding spot where you bury all the bodies?

Tulips along a golf course fairway?

A garden planted and maintained by all your admirers as a tribute to your beauty and wit.

It just looks like someone’s backyard. Is this a trick question?

I got it! It’s Martha Stewart’s backyard!
Yeah?

Ohh… no I had another thought just as I was walking away from the PC.
Is this a miniature doll house scene? The water in the background looks kind of fake, like it’s epoxy. I wish our creek was that clean and blue!
Is that a herb garden beyond the blue?

Well, it’s pretty, real or not.

A canadian goose or heron visiting in the background?

have you been sneaking around my backyard again? Janet, i told you… you need to call before you come by! sheesh… gated neighborhood, my ass!

The edge planting of a backyard, with white tulips and a frost-challanged rhodadendron, backing onto a small waterbody, perhaps a pond, with a shallow well pump in evidence and what looks to be Russian Olive and bush willows in the background on the other side of the water.
Then again, it could be a Photoshopped miniature scene for you friend’s Z-gauge model railroad layout.

Somewhere beautiful. The peacefulness makes me want to say a cemetery, but then if it’s your back yard, you might feel like your back yard looks like a cemetery. With the Loch Ness Monster peeking out of the pond.

The clumps of bushes growing in the middle of the lake?
May 30th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
Well now what “I” see is an area up on the hill and it looks like 2 giant boobs are sticking up out of the ground and the branches from the tree and groping at them!
I’m RIGHT this week, right?
AND I’m sure I’m not the only one that saw it that way, right Laura?

Man, can’t anyone else see the submarine? The periscope is up and looking around. I’d say it is a bit strange.
Either that or it’s where Pirate treasure is hidden.

Green grass is pretty unusual in my part of the world these days.
However, are you referring to the goose (or whatever it is) sticking its head up near the tree?
May 30th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
I have no idea about this one, at first I thought the water was a whale in my own crazy imagination!!

I’m thinking you caught a shot of the illusive Loch Ness Moster.
Although, if viewed right, that same dark shape looks a bit like the silhouette of a tampon….hmmm….

Here Lies Mary Poppins: An umbrella stuck in the ground.
Maybe she jumped in.

Oh no, it’s the loch ness monster legend all over again…
On a serious note, the only thing that caught my eye is the little tree that is sticking up above the flowers. It looks like the loquat trees that grown down in South Florida. I don’t think they grow up North. I’m not sure if that’s what it is, since I can’t enlarge the photo, LOL.

The thing that is ’strange’ is that it LOOKS like a patch of water, but that is really a mirage.

Is the “water” snow???
