Picture-Perfect Friday

1) Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2013 Pictures.

Grand Prize Winner and all around brave person for risking what must be a super expensive camera getting stomped on

Caveat: In the link, one is quite horrible, of an elephant hunted for its tusk.

2) A new use for Google search engines and autocomplete (aside from Rockstar searching all manner of things mentioned on the playground like Plants v Zombies Apps and Whether All Spiders Are Poisonous): UN Ad Campaign Uses Google To Show What Internet Thinks Of Women

I find the “Women Cannot Be Trusted” especially offensive. No wonder Women Cannot Accept The Way Things Are.

UN’s press release for the ad series says, “the searches confirm the urgent need to continue making the case for women’s rights, empowerment and equality, a cause the organization is pursuing around the world…”

3) The internet also makes cats rockstars: 10 Cats That Got Famous For Their Markings

6) In case you thought people stopped taking pictures of their children (What? Can happen, right?): Creative Mum Turns Her Baby’s Naptime Into Dream Adventures.

To sleep, perchance your Mummy dreams.

All the while what I’m thinking is Wow This Baby Can Really Sleep. <envious>

7) Tough act to follow…

The Rockstars invented a new game this week:

Rockstar sweeps balls into a pocket, then Little Miss chooses which one she wants to roll about the room. They were the only ones in here at dinner time, long story. I’ll go with This Is An Arcade Filled With Video Games, You Are Missing The Bigger Picture Here…

And then Little Miss discovered……

Not quite the wheel, there…

Little Miss: Ssssir-cuh, sir-cuh, sir-cuh! Sssssssssir-cull! Suh-curl! 

And with that I’d better shoot this out while it’s still Friday. Kings is away for the weekend again, and so I’ll be relying on Wisekids and friends to help me get through the school-less days… Don’t know where the time for my next post is coming from, but Little Miss might be unveiling her final (yes, she has 3) Halloween costume early…
