While searching for a Silhouette picture this weekend, I saw an owl sitting on a fencepost. This just might do for Serendipity, I thought; an owl out in the day time. I crept up on it taking pictures .... got closer and closer. Guess what - it was a plastic owl!!

For some reason I can't get the thumbnail of the picture to show up.

You only need to put the image id number in the thumbnail tags, not the whole url, eg:

[ thumb ] 12345 [ /thumb ]

You actually just have to put the number of the photograph, so 71075 for it to come up.

I think that's pretty funny. A little humor around here right now is nice to see!

Some of you guys may remember it from the sticker challenge, but my favorite past serendipitous shot (actually ended up titling it "Serendipity") is this one:

Hopefully something similar will happen this week...

That is so funny! Thanks for the laugh. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that does things like that.

I do that every time I'm at the barn cleaning stalls. There is a plastic Owl by the manure spreader where we dump the wheel barrows and almost EVERY single time I think, "WOW! Look at that cool owl!"

I was fooled once before,

taken at Lake Tahoe. I was so excited to see this gem early in the morning so I snapped this shot, then I moved closer to get a better shot, then I realized it was a plastic owl :(

Thats pretty good! I am still smiling from ear to ear!
Dont think I have ever been fooled like that but I have fooled others with a platic fake snake in the yard and if only I had the pictures of their reactions......
