Becky was looked at squarely by a cat for her oddity today. I, oddly enough, was looking at a cat. Or was I?
Boyish Pranks
The epitome of rascals are the two youngsters “Max and Moritz” from the poet and artist Wilhelm Busch’s story: Max and Moritz: A Story of Seven Boyish Pranks. This is them fishing for the Widow Bolte’s chicken dinner (after having killed the chickens which was their first prank).
The Return of the Gallimaufry Collage
Aino’s colour choices this week are:
My collage possibly stresses the fantasy part a bit more than the seedling.
When the Gods Are Playing
Deb’s World oddity today showed two (or possibly three) jet streams in one sky. I remember the sky looking like this a few years ago:
Who was actually playing? Odd.
I’ll Be Back!
Not a quote from the Terminator but from Mother Nature herself.
Becky showed us some extreme gardening as an oddity today so I am showing off some involuntary gardening. Isn’t it odd to have a tree growing in what used to be a living room?
The Uses of Tea
The only definition of accumulator I could find that fitted this photo was: “An accumulator is an energy storage device: a device which accepts energy, stores energy, and releases energy as needed.” If that is a traditional, if roundabout way to describe a steaming teapot, let me know please.
This particular pot was seen on Lindisfarne or Holy Island off the north English coast.

Sometimes the Foxes’ Ears Go Missing
I had been wondering about this strange looking sculpture. A fox? Possibly. But the ears are not quite right.
Last time we passed this place in Michelstadt a small group of tourists were there with a guide and since we seemed interested we were invited to listen. The figure is indeed a fox, Reineke Fuchs to be precise, the title character of a medieval story which has been told again and again. Apparently every now and again the ears are broken off – the guide blamed local schoolkids – and everytime they are repaired they are little bit bigger than their predecessors, hence the unusual look.
Definitely more than six words this week but I just had to after Debbie’s photo and Queen Victoria’s missing finger.
