But come on!!! - This is really out of hand!!!

I was searching two words together...kids horses. That's it. I am looking for some ideas for a session I have coming up. This is not what I was expecting:



Nor would anyone who was looking for images of kids and horses. Gimme a break.

I think I have the answer. You see those sort of scratch marks on the background? those are "skid" marks. The photographer was trying to type "skid" but scrambled the letters by accident and got "kids". Since it's a correctly spelled word, it got through the system. Same with "rose", the letters got mixed up, plus they caught the edge of the H key by accident and ended up with horse. Very simple explanation! Don't know why you didn't notice it ;-)

OF COURSE! I'm ashamed for creating an issue where there is not one. :-(

My apologies - y'know, I bet if I look carefully at any keywording questions I may have in the future, I will find typo's to be the explanation! Thank you!

I'm just happy I could help.

Recall that Spaghetti-Os photo with "ice" as a keyword? I don't think they meant ice, I think it was supposed to be pronounced "icky".

JEEZ you are so RIGHT!! (No political correctness implied here)....

Therefore, and herewith, I now undeclare myself the keyword police and will find OTHER things to worry about...hmmmm....let's see.....something important to worry about.......ummmmm.....

Nope - can't think of a thing! Life is good!

You know what RM? I think you've stumbled upon a new game for us. Find the worst keyword match you can! Just to get it started, I searched "police" (in your honor) and found this image

I apologize, Perry.
Sometimes I don't use good judgement.

***tsk***tsk***tsk****

This one is SO easy.....

Where is one place you may find muffins, hmmm? A donut shop, right? And what is (at least in reputation, if not in fact) a very prominent fixture in any donut shop? HMMMM? A COP, right? And another name for cop - hmmmmmmmmmm? POLICE!

C'mon - you can do better than that!

Yes, I suppose that is the connection. So keywords follow the "Six Degrees of Separation" principle. Let me try again...

I thought about that, but are they oranges or grapefruits.

Cut one looks like orange, the whole one looks like grapefruit.
