I know I’m anthropomorphizing, but gosh… they look so cute and happy.

Kinda posed like a family in a 50s sitcom… Dad, Mom, and teenage daughter.

Yeah, yeah… I do know bird families don’t have teenage daughters, nor do the ladies wear the fancy hairdos.

This is probably one grown female and two grown males. Sigh….

Here is     WIKIPEDIA     on the Galah cockatoo. The top one is female and the bottom two are males. They’re native to Australia (and someone[s] ignored the lesson of Australia’s rabbit problem and introduced them to Tasmania and New Zealand).

Here is     THE MAGAZINE.     You’ll have to zoom it up to bring it to legibility. The whole magazine is an interesting read. The cover article begins on page six.

Unbelievable. I had no idea.

My Legos come from thrift shops and flea markets, mostly just building blocks, and a few people when I’m lucky.

I seldom look at new sets, so I don’t keep up.

I thought this was a parody, till I googled it.
But it’s real!
And well over $100 on Amazon.

Lest you think that’s because it’s a huge box, with those 1070 pieces…

The box dimensions are about the same as a 4 inch tall stack of typing paper.

One of my clients had a Yellow Submarine.
Not only did it come with the boys, there was also a Blue Meanie.

Second paragraph……
 
Elena Shumilova, from Andreapol, Russia, began taking pictures of her sons Yaroslav and Vanya in early 2012 when she received her first professional camera.
 

 
….of the London     DAILY MAIL     2014 article. There are 11 more photographs in the article of this boy and his brother, and one of Elena Shumilova.

This boy I recognized right off… Partly cos his face stayed the same, and probably also cos I’ve seen a couple of other childhood photos of him.

Hint, if you want one

BEFORE you peek at his name…

Try to picture him in round glasses

But when you want to know…

he’s

I recognize the adult (but thanks Susan).

I don’t
see any similarity between child and the man. It astounds me how people who “see” faces can do that. Mostly the narrow chin & jaw of the child contrasted with the broader mouth and chin of the adult.

Now to see if Susan agrees with me.

He looks so happy and friendly. He hopes we won’t see those fangs folded back there. He’s just waiting for us to let our guard down.

I hope Cleo isn’t expecting any samples of treats in the mail… and didn’t order any cool prizes off the back of her Frosted Kibble Flakes.

Cos that mailman is gonna beat a wide path around the Cliffords’ house from now on, and send all their mail to the Dead Letter Office.

Don’t even try to send them a postcard.

Meanwhile, though… DO try to find nine differences in this puzzle.

You don’t want Cleo to bark at you… or, especially, come looking for you with a net.

I already found them… And when you’ve done your best, you can compare your choices with mine….

right HERE!

People are always saying that here…

Got them on the first round, or found two more on the second try, etc.

I confess that I don’t know what that means.

Just curious.

Do you go over the whole puzzle once, stop for a while, then come back and do it again?

My method must be different… I go back and forth over each little area, and of course, have to go back to some areas again if there was nothing there, and I don’t have them all.

But I couldn’t tell you what constitutes a try or a round.

It’s interesting that everybody does it differently.

I got all nine quickly today.

Sometimes I get stuck and come back later in the day and look again. Other times, if the day ahead is a busy one, I’ll just look at your answer instead of agonizing over it. It all depends.

Love doing these puzzles, but often miss the more devious differences as I try to do it in one short “round. Today was an easier one.

I usually get four or five rather quickly. Then I’ll find a couple more after some study. Of the last two, one will head-slapping obvious. The other I will have to dig out the ruler to verify.

I look back and forth in areas. No particular pattern. Probably the worst way. :)

I look at things that often have differences based on previous puzzles; that usually gets me 3-7. Then I start scrolling the puzzle off the page, studying each slice just before it disappears, that often gets the rest. If I’m still missing some, I scroll the puzzle back into view, studying each slice as it reemerges.

I’ll go through the puzzle a few times and then go and do something else and then come back to it and try again. So I consider a try, or round, to be one session of looking for the differences, even if I go through the pictures three or four times. If I go away and come back, that’s then another try. So if I say it took me three goes to find them all, it means I looked at the puzzle separately, three times.

If that makes sense.
