Friday shootout: Small ~ Medium ~ Large ~.

Small as in my little friend John John. He is now in Taiwan.

Sorry no photo of me on my own, you will have to make do with this for medium.

The large here is the Moa, a flightless giant of a bird that is extinct.

Member Voice for our third FMTSO Scavenger Hunt!!
Our official third scavenger hunt (July 8) was suggested by Kerry ~ Small ~ Medium ~ Large ~.


A reminder of the guidelines for our scavenger hunts:
Guide Lines:
* straight out of the camera, no editing
* one photo per word
* three words for each hunt
* add a fourth photo if you can find all three hunt words in one (or just post this one photo)
* hunt area includes your town, surrounding areas, surrounding countryside

Easy-peasy this week: (in her words)

Something small.
Something medium.
Something large.

Try not to confuse yourself like I just did when I thought about how size is a relative thing. But then I remembered this old ditty from Sesame Street, and it cheered me right up:

Oh, everything comes in its own special size
I guess it can be measured
By where you put your eyes
It's so big when you're close
It looks smaller back a bit
That's about the size of it


A joke among the Polynesians is: What did the giant (Tangiwha aka monster) say after he had eaten Tonga, I want Samoa.(some more)

Tonga is an island kingdom and so is Samoa in the South Pacific.

The Moa is an extinct bird, and was the biggest bird that ever lived.

The moa were eleven species (in six genera) of flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. The two largest species, Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae, reached about 3.7 m (12 ft) in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg (510 lb).[6]
