In this optical illusion, if you follow the movement of the rotating pink dot with your eyes, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However, if you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot will turn green. Keep concentrating on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear and you will only see a single green dot moving in a circle. May the force be with you Sandrewn

Fish swimming inside of a Jellyfish? My first thought was that this reminds of Jonah and the whale. My last thought, this is not going to end well for Mr. Fish. Jellyfish swallows a Live Fish http://zeenews.india.com/news/eco-news/a-fish-swimming-inside-a-jellyfish-s-belly_1894123.html Sandrewn

First, just one lawyer joke! Q: How many lawyer jokes are there? A: Only three. The rest are true stories. You do it all, review, post and have a great gallery (I can't forget those strawberries). You are a popular and prolific author. People like you, you are a people person. An asset to GA. So on this your special day, I want to... Wish You Puppilull A Very Happy Birthday!!!! Sandrewn

I guess I've turned to the past to find some comfort. This one was for Africa, but the words seemed to fit the here and now.

Since Sunday I have had several songs come back to me as I struggled to get a hand on things.

I was going to speak about your being a Promising Author and of the great stories you have and continue to create for us. Of your posting dedication and of your poster child persona for success in Likes with 5614 and counting. I decided finally not to. After all, anyone who loves cheese cake as much as I do has to, by default, be a great and fantastical(?) person. I want to... Wish You Valkyrie A Very Happy Birthday!!! I want you to know, because of your Member Title Pesky Penguin the theme is cold-snow-icy. The video you may have seen, but it does have one hell of a lot of Penguins in it!!! Sandrewn

Ya know, you don't make things easy. Hints from your profile (0). Location, a land of magical people and talking animals! On the plus side, you are a writer and poet who has mastered the art of making spaghetti. To make a long story short, I want to... Wish You Menace A Very Happy Birthday!!! Sandrewn

This has to be one of the most beautiful or handsome (?) of spiders I have ever seen. Avicularia versicolor sling (spiderling). Commonly known as the Antilles or Martinique Pinktoe. Sandrewn However, I would prefer to view them from behind a thick, bullet proof glass walled, guarantied escape proof enclosure.

Most cats that I have met did not like water(getting wet). So this bit of news makes total sense to me. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/litter-newborn-kittens-mum-discovered-8119416 Sandrewn

A high speed head on, often ends as a statistic. Score this, as one for the 'Good News Thread'. If you ever wondered if a long past first aid course of any kind you took was worth it. The answer is you just never know. http://kfor.com/2016/06/08/he-was-really-lifeless-4-year-old-survives-being-internally-decapitated-in-violent-crash/ A stranger is a friend you just haven't met yet Sandrewn

Welcome to GA! There is always room for one more. Take your shoes off, put your feet up and stick around for a while, mi casa es tu casa. Cheers, Sandrewn

You left me little to choose from in your profile ( 0 ). Having authors and other editors as friends seems to indicate you are a good one too. From your posts that I have read, your thoughts are well appreciated. You are mysterious, which makes you intriguing. Well, my fellow sexagenarian, I would like to... Wish You George Richard A Very Happy Birthday!!! Sandrewn

There is so much one could say about this man. I for one will never forget him. 2 videos for you! The first a song. The last, a parting shot, from a man who told it like he saw it. R.I.P. Muhammad Ali Sandrewn

As a fellow sexagenarian I would also like to bid you welcome to GA. For any and all info and help. On the main page go to Navigation which will bring up Help. On the Forums page go straight to Help (same info as before). If there is still a question. Go to More Options and select Staff Directory. A PM (personal message) to one of them should take care of it. So you are on your way and you have made your first post. Try and get to five posts asap as that will open up more features of the site to you. You have had an official fellow Aussie welcome (he is one of those knowledgeable staff I mentioned). You got your first Like (Good Start). I would like to be the your first official Friend here at GA. Be welcome and enjoy yourself. 1st friend at GA Sandrewn

As the week passed I felt a happy outcome was not to be this time. I was WRONG and couldn't be happier about it. The missing boy was found. Lost http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/i-regret-what-i-did-japanese-parents-abandon-child-as-discipline-return-to-find-him-gone-1.2922548 And Found http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-03/boy-missing-in-japan-forest-found-alive,-rescuer-says/7474000 What a great way to end the week! Sandrewn

It was supposed to be a Smarties commercial? I don't think it originated from this side of the pond. I never saw it aired, pity it was I think a good one. You have wait to the end to see the connection to here (or fast forward). (I eat the red ones last) Sandrewn

Liked your flash mob, thanks. I had this for somewhere else, but since you brought the subject up, here it is. Sandrewn

October / Libra with the usual blurb about us. Born in the year of the Rabbit with metal as my element. I hear some snickering out there, but those of you who think a rabbit is wimpy, I invite you to watch the following. Afterwards, check over your shoulder! Know that we are everywhere. More important to YOU, an upset rabbit never(ever,ever) forgets. Sandrewn

I suppose this is one of those do you consider it, half full or half empty situations. I myself almost always choose the half full point of view. Though I think in this case with the added feature of, its the thought that counts (minus the cash, transit pass and wallet). A bit of both maybe? http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/02/a-new-yorker-lost-his-wallet-and-got-the-most-new-york-note-imaginable Sandrewn

How many of you have ever thought about Seahorses. Once in a blue moon ( ), never? You are not alone. Consider the following. http://www.theseahorsetrust.org/seahorse-facts.aspx Now, be honest guys, how many of you would want children if it was YOU in the hot seat so to speak (I sensed a bit of hesitation in your answers and the odd gulp). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKrkXXaRMUI&feature=player_embedded My hat is off to our own Moms and to all Seahorse dads, in the world.

I like to think that most people are kind and caring by nature. It is good to see proof of this every so often. http://animalmozo.com/2015/11/24/27-animals-that-people-did-amazing-things-for-17-made-me-lose-it-2/ http://cottagelife.com/news/adorable-newborn-beavers-given-second-chance-thanks-to-saskatchewan-wildlife-centre Sandrewn

I enlarged your photo along with this one I found. When put side by side, they look very similar. So I believe, these are tiny baby European Garden Spiders (Araneus diadematus). They are an orb-weaver spider found in Europe and North America. Here is a reference page with multiple pictures of our little friends. https://www.google.ca/search?q=araneus+diadematus&client=ubuntu&hs=rJs&channel=fs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjutu20-PTMAhWHHD4KHalQDZEQiR4IhgE&biw=1024&bih=747&dpr=1.25#channel=fs&tbm=isch&q=araneus+diadematus+spiderlings Sandrewn

I was looking at the latest pictures that northie put in her gallery. I used an old phrase to describe them, it was, like an 'English Country Garden'. A song came to mind that I had not heard or thought of in over forty years. I promise that I won't play it again for another forty years (and don't worry I'll be worm food by then).

I'll keep this short and to the point. Enough said, Sandrewn
