Funny Photo's

I borrowed this idea from some where else - but thought why not .

Here are a couple of piccies of mine which looked quite different than how I imagined they would.

Missing bodies - silly or what!



Duck in a bonnet- Perhaps its just me, but I think this looks like a duck wearing a bonnet!

Good idea goosey!

I love the sheep one, I wonder how many more there were lurking behing the trees and in the grass, everytime I look I spot another head!
And that definately looks like a duck in a bonnet, what a great capture!

I've just been trawling through my photos and couldn't find any funny ones
This is the best I could come up with though, more cute than funny I'm afraid, it's my little deputy dawg sorting itself out for a photo shoot!

Ha, I get it loud and clear! A Dogs snout and black flappy ears he's holding down! I could completely forget its a hoverfly - like I forgot Deputy Dawg even existed until now!

Nice one Suzanne .

Here is another silly picture - I don't know why but his expression and pursed beak makes me laugh, and why is he standing on tip-toes?

Thanks for this thread Goosey

Not very uncommon these, but they do always make me smile a bit.

I always thought these Dutch fella's were biting off just a little bit more than they could chew ...


... but leave it to the French to show us how it's really done ...

I was just trawling through my photos and found this one that I took last year of a bird with what I thought was an extremely odd beak!



It had me pondering for ages and I'd ended up feeling quite sorry for it till I zoomed in on other photos I had of this phenomenom and realised it had a chip or something in its beak..
(if you click on the photo again you can see it a bit closer up.)

Can't find any that make me laugh like yours- but this always makes me double-take. Something out of Star wars.

They really are amazingly odd creatures aren't they, they seem to have so many bits to them.
This one looks like a screen shot of Starwars meets Dawn of the Dead.....with its slightly zombieish pose.
Great photo!

It's his expression...

Hi Goosey,
Can't claim it as a find- the garden is full of them.
They sound like ducks quacking in the shrubery in the spring and you find yourself quacking back.
Little visitors love them as they are remarkably tolerent of being looked at.

Never heard of 'Dawn of the Dead' - is that what 'Sean of the Dead' was satirising? I'm so behind on these things ...... I'm not really much past 'Alien'

Yep that's the one. Have you not seen either Paul? You are certainly missing a treat if you like zombies, if not you're best to stick with Alien. I remember that was out when I was at school and even the poster gave me nightmares especially as it said 'In space no-one can hear you scream!' (like I was going to go there anyway.). Anyway it must have been about 8 years later that I plucked up courage to see it and it was still horrible then!

How amazing to have them in your garden you are very lucky.

I think maybe he was hoping not to be spotted in a pink flower, but then noticed you were snapping away at him and realised he would never be held in the same esteem amongst his froggy friends again.

We visited the Yorkshire Museum in York whilst on Holiday in England. A small but a good little museum. The grounds/Botanical gardens are lovely to sit and lunch or just contemplate,the ruins of St Mary's Abbey, first built in 1088, are all that remains of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England are just beautiful.
Anyway back to my post .
We were looking at the fascinating exhibit of skulls found from the Roman period in York and what the person would have looked like before they died plus all the extra info they had detected from how and with what they were buried.
I took a photo and with the reflection my husband has aquired a new head ! -I haven't decided which vesion of him I prefer .

I did a double-take when I saw this sign and the sunken bike today

"BEWARE QUICKSAND!"



For a split second I believed it .

Don't loose your top!

This looks like the light from St Bees lighthouse has blown right off the rest of the building and just sat on the hill some distance away.

Wink Beware! Foghorn Leghorn!



If Arp sees this he probably won't think its funny, but even living here all these years I read this first the way any person with English as a first language would - wild rooster!

But the sign is much more mundane reading it in the language it is intended to be read in, Dutch it just means Game/wild animal grate and that just means Cattle grid .
