I was telling my blogging friend, TBM, yesterday how hard it is sometimes to think of a mystery photo, and being the great friend that she is, she immediately sent this photo to me by email to use this week. That’s what I love the most about blogging – how everyone jumps in to help each other without a moment’s hesitation. Thanks TBM :).
What I like the most about this photo is that I can actually see colour. Do you see it??? There is green grass in there, and I tell you I am starting to forget what that looks like. Two storm systems have come together overnight once again to wreak havoc on Southern Ontario, and as a result I didn’t sleep well at all :(. It started out as a snowstorm, switched to freezing rain, and then the rest of the night was rain whipping against the house. Plus our power get going on and off for a few hours. My son’s bus is cancelled again, but unfortunately the highway will probably be fine and I will have to go to work.
I guess you’re wondering if I will ever post normal photos again and not just mystery photos. Trust me, it is not for lack of photos – I have hundreds from as far back as a year ago that I haven’t shared with you yet. However, between the exciting winter olympics that I have become slightly obsessed with (GO CANADA!!!!!) and beginning to plan a trip to London, Paris, and Edinburgh for my hubby and I for this summer, I just can’t seem to find enough hours in the day. Don’t worry though, I will get back to regular posting one day. You’re not getting rid of me that’s for sure.
Enough babbling. Let’s get to work and see what you come up with this week. Ok, ready, set, go…..

Pretty pussy cat Panthera Leo
Look at you using fancy terminology :).
how pretentious of me using the taxonomic/scientific/Latin name, I am such a nerd, but one doesn’t win the Zimbabwe National Wildlife Quiz 1993 without knowing this sort of thing, I also know the Latin names of Cheetah, Leopard, and many other random things.
Have a fantabulous weekend people
Wow, I am duly impressed by your extensive knowledge my friend, seriously :).
I am impressed to–and you are not pretentious at all–it is your inner teacher coming out
Is it a dog in the long grass?
Could be, but I can’t tell you the answer until tomorrow :).
are you sure that is not TBM’s leg after not shaving for awhile? she is sunning herself in the long grass because she does not want anyone to know (btw–whose great idea was it in the first place that we have to shave our legs?)
I agree – stupid idea!! Do you have any idea how long my legs are?? I’m 5’10” and most of my height is my legs. It takes forever. Maybe it is TBM’s hairy leg LOL!!
you are the same height as my sister–I am the shrimp of the family at 5’6″
I shall call you Shrimp from now on :).
You’re 5’10”. I’m 5’8″ and my height is in my back. Stubby legs and recently shaved so there LouAnn 🙂
Tee Hee 🙂
I’m sure it can’t be TBM’s leg as it looks like it has an ear (run away screaming). 🙂
LOL!!!
oh don’t spoil my stupidity!
Don’t worry. It is intact and shines forth upon the unworthy as a beacon in the wilderness of smarty panticus. Travel and spread the word of happy dumbfoolery and be blessed in the land of doh..
Alternatively, oooops sorry. 🙂
OMG that’s hilarious!! He got you LouAnn :).
I’m confused now, but whatever 🙂 it/they was/were meant to be complimentary. :-). I’m afraid somenbody owns a lion (run away screaming)
I think it’s a shape shifter!
Hey, shape shifter is a great answer because that could make it the right answer for any mystery photo couldn’t it? 🙂
I will remember that so I will always be right–love it Becky!
I don’t know why you haven’t thought of that one before LouAnn :).
Damn you discovered my clever plan wayyy too quickly Cindy! LOL.
Glad you approve Homefront. 😀
You are one smart cookie. It must be all the books you read :).
It’s a pretty messy drive out there that’s for sure. I’m actually yearning for some color out there as well Cindy. I think this is The back of a lion lying in tallgrass.
I’m not looking forward to the drive, and I’m really cranky this morning because I didn’t sleep well, so I really wish I could just crawl back into bed! Stay safe today :).
It looks to me to be something the dog did and now I have to go and pick it up…. if its not a lion then I give up…
Ewwww LOL!!
Grrrrr!!! I’m so cranky today. Now the plow went by and there is a big pile of heavy, wet snow at the end of my driveway which would probably not be a good idea to drive through. It may even be big chunks of ice, so I guess I have to go and shovel. Keep on guessing while I dig myself out and get myself to work. See you in a bit :(.
To me that is a good excuse to stay at home… “the plough snowed me in!”
I’ve already had too many days like that this year :). It has been such a crappy winter! I have to make the effort :(.
Don’t slip and hurt yourself… I would miss you…
be careful–my excuse is that my balance is off–where is Mikey–already at work? I believe in woman power but I also believe in having help
Commiserations, go careful and well done. Preferably in that order. 🙂
I made it to work safely :). Now I will rest and pretend to work LOL!!
I am positive this is an old dog bone forgotten in the weeds!!! Talk about brilliant deductions. How wonderful that you are planning a trip “overseas!” I suppose that means we will not be meeting at the Pink Cadillac?
Not this year my friend, but don’t worry we will be back :).
Hurrah! 😉
Either a Canadian Panther or one of your larger Martian friends licking the grass. yeuch
I think it is some type of golden short-haired dog in the grass.
BTW, I love Fridays, specifically because of Mystery Photos! Don’t ever stop! When you get overseas, you can fool us with unfamiliar sights.
I’m glad you like Mystery Photo Fridays so much :). It is a lot of crazy fun isn’t it?
I meant it’s a huge Martian furry tongue. 🙂
No, silly billy, that’s not it :).
Good morning everyone. Well, we survived the latest storm, and even with 80 km/hr winds battering the house, I slept a lot better last night :). Now, as for the photo that TBM provided, it is a lion laying in the grass in Africa which a lot of you guessed correctly, but hopefully she will see this comment and provide us with details. Some people have wondered is it a lioness or a cub? Mr. Bunny Chow commented on my Facebook page that he thought it was a cub because he could see remnants of its spots. Can you please clarify for us TBM?
Sorry it took me so long to stop by. My computer isn’t cooperating. Bunny is right, this lion was only six months old and I met her in Zambia where I did a walk with lions. It’s an organization that helps reintroduce lions into the wild and they have to go for walks twice a day and you can volunteer to go on walks with them. The reason people have to take them on walks is because lions can be quite lazy and if they don’t have to, they won’t walk.
Well, we did miss you. Tell your computer to smarten up :). That sounds so awesome going for a walk with a lion. You have sure had some amazing experiences in your travels!
okay, where is that TBM when you need her–get out of the pubs and back online–we need more info!
pub–what’s that? sounds like something I would like to visit.
LOL!!
Amazing Blog,Nice to meet you,Regards
Thank you very much, and welcome to the Loonybin :).
