One of the more popular posts at the old place was the frequent silly picture challenge. To kick off this now blog I am clearing out the cellars with these three to decipher.
number 3
No prizes, just kudos for all (and any) entries by comment below before Friday 16 July 2010. Extra smartie points for knowing where they were taken in #1 and #3.
HAND, dave

They are all “ouse” words
1. Lighthouse
2. Mouse
3. House of some sort, or is that too generic
Hello Tony; nice one but not quite… have another pitch (BTW there is no linking theme that I can make out?)
I have no idea, living on the wrong side of the pond I guess is the reason.
Hello nobusysignal; thanks for calling by. Which is the “correct side of the pond?”, just asking…
1. Ship Smokestack
2. Mouse
3. Troll House
Hello bearman; not bad offerings, thanks for playing!!
1. lighthouse
2. snapping turtle
3. cute wee house, stuff of faerie stories!
Not sure on locations, though they look quite familiar!
Hello SLe; welcome to the SP challenges, fair answers! HAND
#1. A lighthouse…don’t know where.
#2. I don’t even want to go there.
#3. A house taken from a distance…maybe in the Netherlands or somewhere close by.
Hello Jillsy Girl; out to claim the next award already? HAND
1 is a lighthouse (or if not, it should be).
2 is a baby bird, maybe a wren. I believe it’s a chick because of the “I’m right here so feed me now!!!” yellow along the side of the bill.
3 has a nice medieval French roof to it.
Ah, wait! Are they all words with “house”, as others are guessing? 2 would be a House Wren, then.
PS are 1 and 3 both miniature buildings?
Hello lavenderbay and welcome to newaitchsee; a very fine opening contribution! Not perfect but very good… check back Friday. HAND.
what? no prizes? figures and i got them all right this time! Ggrr.
1. top of a cruise ship
2.lookslike a roosting hen tome
3.a little gnome house lawn ornament
oh oh oh… and they were taken on your last holiday!
Hello Lynn and welcome to newaitchsee; WTF have you been, June ended nearly 2 weeks ago FFS! Your interpretations are pretty good, but not all last holiday… in fact none were! Check back Friday and HAND.
crap! i gotta wait til friday?
Yes!
One looks like a lighthouse, but could be a buoy or airport structure, although the little house in three could be the lighthouse keeper’s dwelling, away from the pounding waves. Number two could be a toad, but is that a bird’s face? Like a big, huddled bird? Reaching, reaching . . .
Hello Dan; also a fair not but not 100% accurate selection, keep trying (or not!) and come back Friday for anwers, HAND.
so are you going to track our points again?
1. I’m going with smoke stack on a ship probably a ferry.
2. This looks like something on a fence rail. My first thought (a turd) would not be something you would post. I’ll go with some type of fungi growing on a fence rail.
3. A miniature house in an English garden.
Hello lisleman; yes I am planning a running total competition and a few special themed cascade challenges. just needed to empty a small folder first and see how my new reader (they know whom) reacted! Again, not a bad choice, answer up Friday.
Let’s see:
1 is a ship smokestack
2 is a frog
3 a birdhouse
Hello Lisa (again!); thanks for contributing, results up Friday, please call back then to find how well you did (or didn’t) do!
Crap, I’d rather spend the day decoding car tags…. let’s see… 1) lighthouse in a snow globe; 2) a catfish; 3) a Keebler elf house (do they have Keebler over there?) HAND!
Hello perpetually, some wilder guesses in there… and no we don’t have Keebler! Thanks, answers tomorrow.
i miss you dave. ♥
