THE MUFFED TARGET




"The muffed target" has no special rules. Just post pictures which are not at all like you had wanted and describe how it happened. Then leave a link here on my blog for other participants.





When I discovered this photo on my computer I wonder how this could happen ? Do I see the world in black and show my dark soul unintentionally as good old psy Freud would analyse ? It only can be the dark inside of the wallet in which I keep my little camera.





Walking barefoot on the beach is good I read, but I didn't really want to take a picture of the sand.




Meanwhile I should have learned not to take a picture of flashlights ! The firemen came at 11.30 pm because a tree had fallen across the tree. Fortunately the other pictures are better ! But that's for tomorrow.

My cat Rosie climbed in the bushes probably looking for bird nests, and as she looked so cute trying to jump, climb and balance herself with her tail, I took pictures for my cat blog.

Here you see the result. I made nice photos of the bushes and the only time I catched Rosie she had stalking lazer eyes !

During my holidays in Egypt, I wanted to take some pictures of the camels which were standing there waiting for tourists who wanted to do a little ride. My camera was ready



to shoot and I took pictures of the camels. When I saw them on my computer, I discovered this one representing what they had eaten in an already digested form.

I really wondered how this could happen ! The only explanation is that I had pointed my camera to the ground and had accidently taken a picture of camel poop.

Fortunately I didn't walk in it.

THE MUFFED TARGET - A new meme




This is the very first "The muffed target" post. There are no special rules. Just post pictures which are not at all like you had wanted and describe how it happened. Then leave a link here on my blog for other participants.

When two weeks ago the reconstitution of the Waterloo Battle took place, I hurried to the battle field to shoot pictures of the big event.

I thought I start my reportage with a view on the Lion, standing proudly on his hill with his face towards the UK and his bottom to France, because Napoleon lost the battle. The poor thing had never been behind barriers, it was the first time in 35 years I saw him locked in.



and here is my lion ! I had taken a picture of a tent, couldn't see anything on the screen of my camera.



it should have been like that.

As BBC, CNN, and other reporters weren't there yet, I took the opportunity to take pictures of the battle field and the tribunes they had built all around for the spectators of the battle



here is the battle field and the tribunes.



at least I took a picture of the harvest before the battle. Don't ask me how it looks now !

FUN MONDAY & THE MUFFED TARGET



Since 2008 I have participated in Fun Monday each week. Now it seems it has died.





It was a very nice meme and I really enjoyed in participating, but lately it became hard and harder to find a host for the next Monday.






I raked my brain to find something else for a Monday which could be a nice theme or meme and had an idea (not a dream)

Each Monday post a picture which is completely crazy, messed up, with nothing on etc, which normally you would immediately delete. It can be everything, like only shoes instead of the whole person, a blurred building or whatever you want. Then tell us the little story how it happened and what it should have been.



I created this little logo




Like here. I wanted to do a close up of the beautiful mosaic tiles and apparently pushed on the button when I bent down. All I got were the legs and shoes of my travel group.

Next week I put a link thing here and hope that there will be a lot of participants ! It's always good to laugh on a monday.
