Optical Illusions 5

Continuing in this series, I got a sweet email from Jon C. We were on the bus on the way home from Sugarpine I think and somehow we got on the subject of optical illusions. I told them how cool I thought they were and that I have a bunch on my blog and he told me about this email he got. It is a picture of Albert Einstein but if you stand 15 feet away from your computer screen it will look like Marilyn Monroe! If you wear glasses- just take them off as you are sitting in front of your screen- same thing!
Go ahead, try it!


I don't know why or how this works. Do any of you? I mean obviously they have done something to the pic- softened some edges and I wonder if the color has anything to do with it? But I don't understand why it works- and I want to. Tell me your thoughts!

If you haven't seen my other optical illusion blogs make sure that you check them out by clicking on the label "optical illusions" listed below.

Camp!!!


Yay! Summer Camp is here!!! This year I am headed out to Sugarpine. It is up near Yosemite and it is such a fun camp! This is a picture of me and Lisa from last time we were there. We are holding the brightly colored balls because we had just won the Bocce Ball Tournament!! That's right- we were the best team at the entire camp!!! Should be another fun summer this time around. So you don't get bored here is an incredible, amazing, relaxing and soothing game called 6 diffeences. Now I posted 5 differences before but this is a new version of the same game- all new pictures and animations- super sweet. Check it out!

Game-On!


It is time for the next installment of my game series. I have some pretty sweet games on my blog- trust me, everyone thinks so. After you play this one you should click on the "games" label at the bottom and play all my games!

This is a game called Arachnophilia, which, if you know any latin roots, means "love of spiders". Ew, nasty! I hate spiders! When I lived with my parents, we had this massive pine tree right next to the house. All kinds of nasty spiders were attracted to it. And since it was so close to the house, these big, huge orange and grey spiders would build their webs in our eaves. This house had the front door upstairs with a big deck going around it so the eaves of the house were quite close. We would have to walk with you hands in front of us at night becasue these spiders would build their webds right at face level. I still freak out a bit just thinking about one of thise huge spiders landing in my hair or something.
But this game is pretty sweet- you get to be a spider, make a web and try to catch insects. It also has fun spider facts so you could say playing this game is educational as well as entertaining.
