Just like humans, cats want to look good. For whatever vague cat reasons. However, this usually isn’t what they’re going for. A lucky pic meant that all the cat ladies’ greatest wish was finally fulfilled. The proportions are a bit off, but we can put that behind us. Nobody’s perfect.
We wouldn’t expect this cat-guy to stay such for very long. That cat looks like it’s about to leap right out, back in, back out, and that’s how you get this picture.
Caught in the Act
It's like a dream come true. This kind of thing might be a once-in-a-year event: vacation time is there, the weather is perfect, and nobody demands your attention.
So you grab your cone of vanilla (it's somebody's favorite), head to your favorite stretch of water, and take out your camera. The internet must know of this. But, of course, you had an unexpected guest while you were fiddling, trying to get the camera open without getting any ice cream on your phone. Good luck getting this kind of picture again.
Yo Ho, Me Hearties
A foggy day is one for intense thoughts, poetry, warm coffee, and pirates. Still? Yes, still, according to this picture. It almost looks like that galley is swooping in on a cloud to make off with the treasure, rum, wenches, etc. Let this inspire you for your next painting or short story.
And now, we hate to be a bunch of buzz kills, but this is the top of a tower in San Francisco, California. It's the Sutro Tower, a radio mast. Reality is disappointing, but it sure looked like Blackbeard had finally returned for his long-awaited revenge.
It Could Have Been a Lot Worse
It's a little bird, winging its way across the blue, on its way to a tree branch or a bird feeder or maybe a high power line to talk to some friends.
Look closer, though, and you'll discover that it's not a bird at all – it's a crack in a windshield. Amazingly, a rock got kicked up from a wheel and hit the windshield in a one-in-a-million (maybe billion or trillion) way. We wouldn't recommend trying to recreate this – for every dent that gives you something close to this, you'll get a thousand ugly marks that you'll hate.
Floating Snow
We were honestly pretty confused when we saw this picture for the first time, but here's the explanation: during the winter, there was a flood. It's been known to happen, even during cold temperatures. The water rose, froze, and snow fell, freezing in place.
Then the water receded to normal levels, leaving the trees next to the lake with little bits of flat ice frozen. It's probably happened plenty of times all over the place, but it's certainly rare. So if you see it, take a picture and amaze your friends.
