So I don’t know whether the whole sky is a giant toaster with 16 dark slots, or the 16 dark panels surround 12 empty sky slots in which to drop the bread.
This ultra modern technology is so very confusing!
This is Annette Kellerman, early 20th century Australian swimming champion, who became a performer and then a movie actress.
She was one of the first women (some say the first woman) to wear a one piece bathing suit… her first was actually a man’s suit. She popularized in them, and later started a company that designed and sold them.
She was also thought to be the first woman to appear nude in a movie.
There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee.

Love the blue eyes – very rare in bassets! The ears are wonderful too.

WOW! A sixteen slice toaster!
Hmmm…. I do see 16 strips of metal… but I think that makes 12 slots for toast.
The black bits don’t look like toaster slots to you?
They do!
But then I notice the empty spaces between them.

You got the picture in sideways!
Um…. I agree that they look safer that way…
But somebody should tell that little tree to stand up!
Amazing creatures.
They have slightly sticky pads on their feet, which is supposedly why they can do this, or at least part of the reason.
But watching them nonchalantly defy gravity, without a second thought… run up cliffs, slide like this against vertical rock faces…
I can tell you that a 3 gallon bucket of super glue wouldn’t persuade me to try it even 6 feet from the ground.

Heh! Grew up in Alaska, loved “The Cremation of Sam McGee”!
I have recited that one once or twice for the Scouts’ Klondike Derby
The end is a real punchline.
Yep!
All about the warmth ! ! !

This would make one heckuva jigsaw puzzle.
I couldn’t find this particular picture, but this site has thousands of puzzles, and you can choose to make them anything from 50 to 500 pieces.

“Thanks, pal!”
Come back when you have a little more meat on you. I’ll be waiting.
WTH??
I didn’t get the impression the croc was trying to help the little guy out of the water…
I think he was trying to grab lunch, and he missed.
When he opened his mouth, to take a bite, he inadvertently lifted his prey up onto the bank… where Mama was waiting anxiously.
Who would have thought.
Curses! Foiled again!
The crock looks like those mechanical ones at Disney World
Yeah, he’d like you to think that
In the meantime, he’s swearing underwater. “Sekalf Nroc SggolleK”

I hate to say it about an advertisement, but that’s pretty creative.
I can’t really see how those few stakes are casting that solid shadow.
I guess I’ll have to look at it again tomorrow.

OMG! You can see their ankles!
Don’t look! Satan put this here to tempt you! Time for some self-flagellation to drive out those evil thoughts!
So that’s what they’re calling it these days?
too late!–one look at those knees and evil thoughts proliferate

Probably has an itchy back. I’d be doing that too if mine was bugging me.
I have to believe she hates that pink sweater someone put on her.
Terylene has that effect on me too!

Ewwwww!
find the feather
So far I don’t see anything significantly more feathery than all the other feathery things I see that presumably are not feathers.
I’ll be back.
I believe that’s it
Yeah, me too…. though I saw it and rejected it earlier…
It’s cross-hatched, and looks like a dried up leaf. OTOH there’s a light green leaf(?) above and to the right of it, that really looks like a feather.
