For moment, Just for a moment, it looked like he was being molested by a bunch of ducks. Especially with those eyes!

This dog is going bananas. Either that, or those bananas are going to the dogs.

Howcum they’re now saying Hurricanes really won the Battle of Britain?

I’ve always heard that too. The answer is sheer numbers. The Hurricanes engaged the bombers while the Spitfires kept the fighters busy. If they’d had enough, the Spitfires could have done it all, but the design was complicated so they couldn’t be made as quickly as the Hurricanes.

This is entirely possible with a narrow focal point and being focused on the bird. It truly is a lucky shot.

I’ve seen this movie once.
I wouldn’t get excited about seeing it again.

1930 to 2001.
I thought that it was earlier than that.

This

is….
Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman.

This was taken in the early 1960s.

She’s in her 90s now… by the time of his passing they’d been married for 50 years.

Once again, no one is talking about the elephant in the room.

I was thinking I’d vetted and rejected this one, but Steve remembers it too…. so I guess we must have done it here.

It took me forever to find the elephant, but this time I vaguely remembered where to look.

Though I found it, it’s annoying.

Smallish hint:
The elephant is super tiny
.

Bigger hint:

It’s not really something sitting or lying about in the room on its own, like a toy, but part of something else.

Solution:

A little ways up from the lower right corner, there’s a tall purple book on a low shelf.
It’s visible next to the handle of the rake sticking up from a box in front of it. The bow of the toy boat points towards it.

On the bottom of the spine of the book there’s a teeny little drawing of the head of an elephant. That’s it. Honestly.

If that’s an elephant (I didn’t find it), someone needs an art lesson.

The last time we saw this puzzle there were the same comments, it’s the poor resolution giving us the problems. Someone — I thought it was Alexi — posted a clearer picture that made it more definitive, but I may be incorrect on that…
I, too, like Susan and Steve, remembered where the elephant was placed.

This time the resolution is much better. I could see it clearly* when I zoomed in.

for very small values of “clearly…”

Thank you, the small hint did it. I really appreciate the levels of hints. When I couldn’t find an elephant toy I started looking BIGGER, for an elephantish arrangement of objects.

I was just messing around with some new software… Well, new to me, anyway.

I didn’t post an image last night because circling the elephant left it still so hard to see. I wanted to make it bigger.

I didn’t have anything to enlarge images on my tablet, and I’m having too much trouble with my Wi-Fi to use online sites.

This app purports to do enlargements, but they don’t look very good.

Still….MAYBE this will help….

Solution:
