Today I’m sharing some special sights seen nearby.
I found this cool geode slice recently. It almost looks like it has an animal’s face on it, doesn’t it?
…Or I used a mirror photography effect on an oval stone. The pointed thing on the very bottom is all that shows of my hand holding the geode.
I flew over this desolate-looking landscape on a recent trip.
…Or I took a picture of a sculptured seashore and cropped it. This area measured about two foot by three foot.
One day, I saw a flight of four dragons migrating across the sky.
…Or I drew on a few details over this skyful of wispy clouds.
Once I saw Orion the Hunter about to club the Space Station.
…Or I took a screenshot from my SkyView app at a funny moment.
While taking a shower, I noticed a piece of crumpled up garbage in the corner.
…Or a Pacific treefrog hid itself by changing its color. Did you know they can do that? I’ve seen lime green ones, brown ones, and nearly black ones on our property.
I walk with caution in our yard because you never know when you might run into a cougar.
…Or the life-size statue given to us by a friend is hard at work guarding the final resting place of our favorite housecat, Motor.
Did I trick you with any of these special sights? Hope you had a good April Fool’s Day!
Thanks for the funny challenge, Donna at Wind Kisses. 😀

Great April fools day pics. I was fooled many times.
Thanks, Ralph! 😄
These are great pictures SB and very creative, especially the one showing Orion the Hunter in action!
Thanks, Sylvia! The Orion thing cracked me up.
I absolutely loved your approach today. it was fun and I definitely went back and looked at everything twice to make my decision. The second photos stumped me the most. Super fun. Look forward to next week!
Thanks, Donna! Yeah, there are different ways to interpret "tricky." Thanks for the challenge. :)
Very well done Siobhan! Loved your tricks this week, creativity plus 😊. My favorite was the screenshot of Orion and the space station.
Thank you, Tina! Yeah, I couldn't resist taking a screenshot of Orion. 😁
Clever tricks Siobhan! The desolate landscape was probably the most realistic and convincing, but I loved the little frog and had to laugh at Orion 😮
Thanks, Sarah! I've been waiting for the opportunity to use some of those photos. 🙂
geode slice Is funny and tricky to make out
Yeah, I thought it was weird how my hand holding it disappeared. 🙂
What fun, Siobhan! I enjoyed this!
Thank you, Patti!
Some great April Fools tricks and interesting observations.
Thanks, Sue
Ha, some great tricks - had no clue those frogs could change like that.
Yeah, I didn't know the frogs could change color either until I looked it up. 🐸
