I don’t have it anymore, but I did a border in Photoshop using a single hibiscus flower, changed to a dozen or so different colors, repeated randomly around the page edges. Looked great. Turning that green into pink is really easy. (I might not have saturated it as much though.)
You don’t even need Photoshop to do that… I’ve done plenty of it when all I had was MS Paint (the built-in Windows drawing program, for you non-Windows folk) and an online photo editor.
I don’t have a good program for cut and paste on my tablet. I used to be able to easily change the color of an entire photo, though it was fiddlier, and I have fewer color options, than on a computer.
They’ve changed that app, and now AI tries to make you keep it more realistic, but I’m sure there’s still a way.
My mom did that, or tried it, she said… But she was trying to do it herself, and it was too hard to get the lines straight.
Believe it or not, a crooked seam was a fashion faux pas, and so were bare legs, or a run… So women were caught between a rock andtwo hard places.
She mostly chose bare legs, though she hated it, and even more so, later, when my sister and I went bare-legged by choice, in the late 60s and after.
But even in 1968, in college and working part time, while I would go to class with bare legs, I wouldn’t dream of going to work, or, say, to San Francisco, without stockings.
According to Google and Wikipedia, it’s carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a ten day flyby of the moon…
….the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in December 1972.
I just knew I didn’t want to google this and find out what it was… But I did it anyway, and now I have to tell you.
It’s Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod, better known as Mata Hari, having a last glass of wine, moments before being executed, in October, 1917.
She’s barely tied, refused a blindfold, and blew a kiss to the firing squad before falling.
She was a Dutch born exotic dancer, a famous seductress, and did do some minor spying for the French in WWI, but the Germans convinced them she was a double agent, spying for them, as well, which she always denied.
She was nonetheless tried and executed for it, a wanton woman being a convenient scapegoat for some military losses, with the case never having been actually proven. No one will ever know.
Yes… The Beaver, Dennis the Menace (American version) and… um…. what was her name? The youngest Williams daughter, added to the Danny Thomas show halfway through… And later to be Penny Robinson.

Trying to look this up… whoa…. you have to wade through controversy.
Posted widely as “pink moss bridges in Ireland”, it has a slew of admirers and defenders…
But it’s just as vehemently proclaimed a fake.
Wikipedia makes no comment.
Irish people comment “no way”, a tourist claims to have seen it on the West Coast of Ireland (but is called out as a liar ).
The truth seems to be that it’s a garden in Tokyo, turned pink either in Photoshop, or as some say, by special film that turns greenery pink.
The green image could be manipulated too… But some posts say this is the reality….
It’s not uncommon in Japan to manipulate gardens to look ancient.
The picture certainly is real.
Oh… Yes, and it definitely looks more Japanese than Scottish. The land of bonsai is unsurprisingly also a land of artful landscaping.
I never meant to question the photo itselt… I should have made it more clear that i meant only the color.
There were a few (crazy IMHO) commenters insisting the forest was actually pink, and the green color was fake.

Now that I can believe!

A flower shower!

My late (eldest) aunt did that in Lower Bavaria right after WW2 and went dancing with the G.I.s.

Got him! Those caterpillars won’t be eating any more of these leaves while I’m around. Burp!

I’m going to take a wild guess and say that’s Mickey Mantle.
Just a hunch.
And maybe the small print below the picture?
Shhhhh…..
“Hunch? What hunch?”
,.
It doesn’t say whether any are still alive.
I know of a few who are definitely gone.
I’ve never heard of several, and it would take too long to look them all up.
But Dick Van Dyke turned 100 in December, and Eva Marie Saint is 100 or 101, and they’re both alive and well
If I remember correctly, Betty White missed it by just a few days.

“I didn’t say ‘stop.'”
Doggy!
(Fawn does that!)
Are there dogs that don’t?
It’s not so bad. For comparison, I had a cat who would bite you if you stopped…
But when she’d had enough, she’d bite you to stop.
Either way you’d get bitten… and deciding not to pet her at all wasn’t an option. Cos she’d bite you.
Yes, I know… a lovely kitty. But once she’s your kitty, whatcha gonna do? And she had her good qualities.
Doggy!
Cookie is very good at doing that.

An interesting idea. Does it exist?
It looks like you retract it when you’re inside.
But i wonder what you do when you’re outside, yourself, wanting to get in.
Maybe you can’t retract it when you leave, or maybe that slot is a card reader, and the knob pops out if you use the proper card.
And what happens when it goes wrong?
If I remember right they’re in a hotel somewhere. I remember seeing this a few years back.
..
Everybody else block. Charlie, you go long.
LOL
name that cover girl
I have a guess.
It looks to me
But I’ll Google it to make sure….
Yep!
I was wrong.

At first glance, this seems to me to be a poorly constructed and/or worded puzzle.
I can’t see how
But if there’s a trick we need to see, we can’t get there with that link.
How do we know all the blocks are the same size? Poorly worded puzzle.
Yeah, I guess I was assuming that part… And I should know better.

And George Strait….

Wow… This is recent!
Artemis II just launched on April 1st.
According to Google and Wikipedia, it’s carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a ten day flyby of the moon…
….the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in December 1972.
With a stinky toilet and 2 versions of Outlook that don’t work. Gonna be a long 10 days.
I heard last night that they are smelling something burning
Texan chili?
That usually burns coming out.

Yes….. it’s time for Easter fun, Cleoites!
(I meant to post this earlier… Thanks for reminding me!)
Jerry Mathers, Angela Cartwright, Jay North?
Yes… The Beaver, Dennis the Menace (American version) and… um…. what was her name? The youngest Williams daughter, added to the Danny Thomas show halfway through… And later to be Penny Robinson.
And one of the VonTrapps.
And…..
Don’t you mean the pup, Cleo?.
As in, Cleo Clifford, the pup-etrator.
