And now, your pictures and distractions:

| We went diving this week. And saw a billion sharks, including this one. AND, I got to see like FOUR sea turtles! I love them with every fiber of my being! Thanks for the picture, Deb. |

| There. Proof. Eli McCann scuba dives. |

| This is the beach we stopped at for lunch between dives. |

And now, I have decided to introduce a new feature to Friday's Pictures and Distractions posts. This is call The Stranger Picture of the Week. So many of you have sent me so many great pictures you have taken so I thought I might as well start sharing them. If you've got strange photos you've taken, new or old, send them on in. This week's comes from Kelly, who snapped this photo in Morocco.

| Goats in a tree. Thanks, Kelly! |
Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing:
Social networking for the people who don't want to socially network. Thanks, Caia.
Man robs a gas station while applying for a job. Thanks, Brian.
Woman caught on video planning her husband's murder with a hit man. Thanks, Brian.
Texas teacher wears the same outfit for school pictures for 40 years. Thanks, Krishelle.
I'm posting this because it freaks me out and I don't understand. Thanks, Chelsea.
Nemesis wanted. British and French will be given first priority. Thanks, Craig.

That goat tree picture is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me another image for my nightmares. Now I have to worry about goats dropping on my head.
Yes! I made the distractions!
ReplyDeleteYou swam with sharks! I hope the sea turtles protected you!
ReplyDeleteUm, I seriously love the use of the term "homegirl." I think it deserves more useage than it actually gets!
ReplyDeleteWow, you hair looks amazing, even scuba diving in the bath!
ReplyDeleteBridg
So jealous of your scuba diving! I was a diver for about 15 years, until I had to quit, due to problems with my ears. I heart skips in excitement every time I see underwater photos or videos! Oh, how I miss it! Enjoy every dive and take as many photos as you can. I hope you enjoy many more happy years diving! (And if you would let me sleep on your sofa, I would go diving every day anyway....even if my ears fell off!) Post more diving photos!
ReplyDeleteThe video of the woman contracting her husband's murder...um W. T. F. ???!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my word... yes that was absolutely horrific. So nonchalant. "I'm going to shoot him in the face..." "Okay."
DeleteI sure wish this was a case of the internet being wrong... the other day's post - "is everything on the internet true" haha
Oh man!! I wish I used Four Square so I could have a map of "safe zones" for avoiding any human contact with people I know. :(
ReplyDeleteCatflakes link isn't working... It just brings me to the Verizon search page for "cat flakes"
ReplyDeleteYour shark picture just reminded me of watching "SharkNado" last night..
ReplyDeletei love diving. i am so glad i got certified. But i've only done boat dives, never a dive off a beach. i have also only seen really small reef sharks...it would be exciting to see a larger one.
ReplyDeleteHaven't you seen the Goats in Trees calendar? I got one as a gift for my birthday last year.
ReplyDeleteGoats in a tree? Pretty much the coolest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteMy boss is from Morocco and he told me about the traditional way to obtain argan oil from pits in the feces of goats that live in trees. Argan oil is the new exciting thing in hair and cosmetics in the USA.
ReplyDeleteHere is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"Before modern times, the Berbers of ancient Morocco would collect undigested argan pits from the waste of goats which climb the trees to eat their fruit. The pits were then ground and pressed to make the nutty oil used in cooking and cosmetics. However, the oil used in cosmetic and culinary products available for sale today has most likely been harvested directly from the tree and processed with machines."
Such awesome photos you know I have never tried diving and lets be honest here do not think I ever will..........but you photos are amazing........
ReplyDeleteIs it monday there yet? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteI think it's supposed to be 5 golden rings, not 5 goats in a tree.
ReplyDeleteI have a whole calendar of goats in trees! It's called "Goats in Trees"!
ReplyDeleteCool shark!
