UFO captured in photo of recording artist Ava Aston
As I approach writing my 200th blog (yea me) I was going through some photos that I thought I could use to accentuate my writing. Maybe I was just being a lazy Greek girl today, but I figured that if a picture is worth a 1,000 words so why couldn’t I post a picture today and call it good?
But it couldn’t just be any picture. It must be a picture that gets people talking. A picture that makes a blog go viral. Maybe a picture of me and a furry animal? Wait, I recently posted a photo of me and the abandoned donkey, so I needed something else. I’m a good Greek girl so posting a picture of me prancing around in my underpants wasn’t an option. If I have said it here once, I have said it a thousand times – I am not a Kardashian! They are Armenian and I am Greek. Other than the hair color, the biggest difference is in the genes jeans. I keep mine on for photo shoots and they take them off – just sayin’
Posting a picture instead of writing for your blog is not a bad thing. I have seen many amazing blogs that post a picture and call it good. I would like to recommend and give a shout out to my new blog friend, Frizztext who does that very successfully. His post of a dog sitting on a sofa ignoring all of the cat photos around him is my favorite! You can see Frizztext’s blog here: Frizztext blog
I titled my blog “I Saw My First UFO Today” because in my coconut it is just as important to have a really cool title as it is having an amazing photo and/or amazing words.

by the way: it is a GREEK dog!
(and I’m sure, he never has seen an UFO!
but Corned Beef out of our refrigerator, he was very interested …)
Greek is the best! That’s funny about the corned beef !

thanks AVA, you inspired me to update the cat-dog-battle-story with a second photo. Take that as an advice, how to bite Mr. Bricks, if he does not work well for your CD!

yesterday we had some trouble. The Greek dog Emily visited us again (together with his human food supplier) – and because our Italian cat also is named Emily (Dickinson) both animals were confused by the different owners shouting: “EMILY!!!” – nevertheless there was a big run and hunting and screaming through our home. The end: our Italian cat Emily high above in the book shelf between the books of Konrad Lorenz, and the Greek dog Emily down on the floor, not able to follow …
result: the dog is able to ignore painted cats, but not yet real cats …
human beings maybe should learn to ignore UFOs – painted or not …
I agree about the cool title. It certainly had me rushing over to check it out!

Amazing photo. 😉 Your post’s title is actually what caught my eye. But you know, some of the best blogs are the ones that only show photos. They’re a whole lot quicker to “read” anyway! 🙂

yes Tia, but I am Greek and love to talk…so does that mean I need to put up 5 pictures a day for the 5,000 words that are in my noggin ready to come out?

Thanks so much for visiting my ‘Careann’s Musings’ blog today via Freshly Pressed. I love meeting new people here in cyberspace. As a writer I keep my blog’s focus mostly on writing, but I post on other topics, too. I’ve enjoyed having a peek at your blog. I’m like you in that I often hunt for the perfect photo… not so much to take the place of words, but to complement them. That’s a catchy title, too. 🙂
Wow, your very own Close Encounter! Good for you!
Hook, should I be offended no aliens wanted to abduct me and I was left behind?
Blessings,
Ava
