Isn't there something unusual about this photo? Can you tell what it is?

Sorry Julia I changed the photo...But you're right about America using "green" cow dung for heating and cooking.

Sandee said...

Hey, you changed the picture and I was all set to talk about cow patties. Really. They do burn nicely too.

I'd say there is a couple of socks missing here. Can't blame it on the dryer either. Have a great WW Teach. :)

Travis Cody said...

It doesn't look like any of those socks match.

maiylah said...

interesting photo! love the composition! :)

marcia@joyismygoal said...

i stole the other striped one sorry do you want it back?

Mo and The Purries said...

Well, it's either "no socks match" or "hey, is that Skeletor doing his laundry?"

Shelia said...

Hi Mary!

Why are the socks already hung so far from the window? Is that on some sort of pulley?

Happy WW! :D

Someone with very long hands to have hung out those socks :P

Okay... I first thought about the good old sock monster... but... did anybody fall out of the window while hanging out the socks??? They are soooooo far away from the window...

I definitely noticed the two things the other readers commented on that they were hung very far from the window and they didn't look like mates.

Hi Mary. I hope that's a pulley-line or else it's going to be tough getting those socks back inside.

Jeff B said...

Now I know where all my other socks have gone.

eastcoastlife said...

The other socks fell off the clothes line, therefore the gap. hehe.... This family has too many kids!

Schmoop said...

I find it unusual that people actually wash their socks. I never do. Cheers!!

The window looks strange, and there's a little shelf/picket fence or something below.

We don't wear socks, but sometimes we chew on them.

Where is the other end? Hmmnnn. at the neighbor's window.

CJ said...

That's a great shot.

And for those not familiar with this sort of set up - yes, there is a pulley involved. It's actually a neat way too hang clothes out to dry. They do the moving, you just do the hanging.

I'd say that no sock matches on the clothes line... Happy WW and thanks again for the award - I love it!

storyteller said...

Hmm – it seems I missed out on the 1st photo, but these don’t seem to be in pairs. In addition, the orange and stripped socks seem out of place entirely ... but I've not hung laundry like this for YEARS (thankfully).
Hugs and blessings,

Munchkin Mommy said...

oh, i missed the first photo you posted! :D but the replacement is interesting just the same. :) i do hope, too that there's a pulley to pull those socks back in. hee hee!

enjoy the rest of the week!

None of the socks match and there are a couple that are rather oddly shaped.

The line obviously belongs to a tall man with one leg!

maryt/theteach said...

Yes, everybody, there are socks missing! My MIL would NEVER hang out a sock without its matching partner. She is one person who NEVER lost socks in the dryer. When I moved to where I live now I found that NO ONE hung out clothes let alone socks. Whew! We all used dryers and nobody was ever the wiser whether we lost socks or not. LOL!

And yes I did change my WW picture because I liked this one better. I'll use the other another time. Okay?

maryt/theteach said...

Did anybody notice that the top part of the line is erased (a la Photoshop) and that there is a pulley close to the window?

Unknown said...

none of the socks match????
Overall things don't look right.

None of the socks matched! Sorry I missed the other pic. Sounds like it was interesting.

Hey it's Amy Benson said...

I like it, but can't put my finger on one thing unusual... one pink sock?

Unknown said...

Uh duh. How did the clothes get on the clothesline? They're too far away from the window...

Happy WW :)

Bottles Barbies And Boys said...

looks like someone could use some white socks. :)

Barb said...

I cheated and peeked at your answer. :)

Most of the socks don't match! Happy WW! :)

Mine is here: http://blog.mysocalledsite.com/?p=276

NuttyGal said...

Good pic, do you think the other socks are out of the picture? When she pulls them back in they will all be there :o)

Le Butterfly said...

interesting photograph.

Happy WW.

Heart of Rachel said...

Oh, I see a sock that outshines the rest because of its bright color.

Heart of Rachel said...

I just realized I don't think they have matching pairs.

Gabriel said...

Interesting picture. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it...

Hope you had a happy WW, sorry it took me so long to visit you!
