On my trip out to the beach on Christmas I took pictures of the waves of course.  I can't imagine not doing that.  But I also took pictures of things I found at the beach.  If you look for them they all but jump out and beat you senseless. LOL  See if you can guess where and what they are.  No cheating by jumping over to the flickr account!!!

 Foam at the Surf

I would have gotten some shots of the actual beach, but it was high tide and all those gorgeous pebbles were safely beneath the water.  *sigh* next trip!

    Here's what I thought they were:
    1. A huge ant hill
    2. Cold magma
    3. Icy, snowy, rocky plain
    4. That's Queen Anne's Lace ... we've got that all over the place here, so I recognize that one!
    5. The way that is, it's wood ... and it looks like it would be because of the grass (?) in the upper right corner.
    Now ... on to see if I was right, or at least how horribly wrong I was, and maybe my reactions, but I'm not gonna post the "answers" here cuz I don't want it to be my fault others can cheat easier! ... lol.

    1. Eeewww, that stuff does not look right.
    2. That is neat.
    3. It's so neat looking though!
    4. Well duh.
    5. Ohhh, perhaps  I shoulda looked at similarities between this and another picture. 
    Neat pics Uni, thanks for sharing!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Hege - you got some right, a few wrong.  I will say that two of the pictures are of the same thing.  I just edited one of the pictures to give it a cool effect.
  • Hegemone said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Yeah, I checked out the Flickr account after I made my guesses, lol ... so the second numbered list are my responses once I found out what it really was.  Neato, still.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Hege - LOL  I see [waggles eyebrows]  You're a sneaky sort!!! LOL
  • beyondtheveil said on Dec 29, 2008....
    unique- I think the first one is a rock. Two and five look like mud. Three is a rocky shoreline. And lastly, four is a plant. The location is California.

    Am I smart, or just a smart ass?


  • quietone said on Dec 29, 2008....
    2 and 5 are driftwood?.. 3 is the waves and a rocky shoreline.  I should know that hump.. I think its just a small sand dune? That was fun.  wish I was by the ocean!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    BTV - you got most of them right.  You're such a smart ass! ;) LOL
     
    quietone - very good!  I won't tell you which one you got wrong.
  • quietone said on Dec 29, 2008....
    what the heck is this time thing saying??? 8 hours ago? am I late for work???? LOLFOF!!!!  I think that hump thing is a pod of some sort, I know I have seen them before.. dang!!.. off to work.. hope it is 8 hours ago.. that would be cool.. I'd not have to go to work now!! haha
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    I'll be back later to do the big reveal ;)
     
    Yeah, the time thing is really whacked!
  • quietone said on Dec 29, 2008....
    It is great that we could chat on your post before you even posted it! woo hoo.  I will look for the answers when I come home from work... have a great day uni!!!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    quietone - I've always known that folks here had special abilities.  Just didn't know time travel was one of them.  I'll see ya later!
  • diabolicdame said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Wow these are gorgeous uni!! Your pics keep getting better and better.. especially ones of the beach!!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    dd - thank you.  I guess the passion I feel for the ocean is making it's way into my pictures :)
  • diabolicdame said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Oh I just saw your reply to btv.. Actually 2 and 5 could be wood or magma.. and the first one could be an anthill.. wow now I'm confused!!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    dd - LOL good guesses.  I'm going to do the reveal tomorrow morning so a few people can get their guesses in.
  • fragglesrock said on Dec 29, 2008....

    #1 - a cave

    #2 - the surface of the moon

    #3 - ocean after i farted in it

    #4 - a weed??? <-- my only serious response so far

    the pictures are really cool...i haven't a clue what they are...i didn't even read the others comments i just blurted out what came to mind first...now i'll go read comments and see what they really are...beautiful pics though!!

  • Lucytorial said on Dec 29, 2008....
    The wood is fabulous, I love the way the texture always looks like stone after the ocean has had its way with it.
     
    ROFLMAO @ Fraggles fart in the ocean comment...
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    frags - so you're  responsible for all that foam!!!  Oops! Damn!  You made me give away one of the answers. 
     
    Lu - I was very happy with how it came out considering what it looked like as I was walking buy.  I was lucky enough to be able to capture some light and find a good angle.  Not bad for a point and shoot camera, huh?
  • Lucytorial said on Dec 29, 2008....
    its pretty good, just imagine what you could do with a good camera.  Hubby said that of the photo you used on the xmas card you sent, he said it was a fabulous photo.. when I told him it was yours his eyes lit up! (he likes creatives)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    yes, I often have fantasies of owning a DSLR.  Once in awhile I go to the store and gently stroke the macro lenses and let my mind go wild ........ er ......... I mean, you're right!  A good camera would be great! LOL
  • Fallyn said on Dec 29, 2008....
    very very beautiful!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Fallyn - thank you!
  • diabolicdame said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Lol uni.. you naughty girl!! hahahahahaha.. I'm sure all DSLR is blushing now.. lol!
  • Lucytorial said on Dec 29, 2008....
    reminds me of an insert of a book I'm working on....
     
    You may go to your vege grocer and stroke his carrots, you can caress his peaches and state that he has the biggest kiwi fruit you have ever seen but please don't ask to squeeze his lemons....
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    dd - they should all be scared! LOL  I'd love the quick lens reflex (no delay) and would likely get something that is fully automatic but has the option to go manual.  I've priced them out and it's either buy a camera, fly to Australia or buy a really decent  laptop.  Choices, choices, choices .......
  • uniquely-ironic said on Dec 29, 2008....
    Lu - LOL yes, I am a naughty produce shopper ;)

    mobil - good suggestion on the weapon of ex beating!  Not even close to right, but thanks for playing.

    3 a wave crashing in and that sea foam it makes.

    5. same driftwood log, different angle in full color
