Wish List

This category is for words that don't have a photo because we are unable to find one. If you're a photographer and can supply a creative-commons licensed photo that fits, drop us a line!

Blunt

Unable to find a good photo for this one. Can anyone help?

Density

Another that is extremely hard to get a photo for.

Looking for a photo of something like a bowling ball next to a basketball, or a bucket of sand next to a bucket of water, or a brick next to a sponge. Something along those lines.

Displacement

Looking for a photo of something being put into a clear container like a jug, vase or large glass full of water, and the container overflowing.

Houndstooth


Houndstooth is an abstract two-colour check design that was made by weaving two colours of wool together in a particular way. There are two varieties of houndstooth, the one in the picture and a less regular one.

Photo by fdecomite but this is the less traditional pattern, anyone got a macro photo of the more traditional weave (not a print)?

Magic

I'm finding it VERY hard to find a photo for this one. Can anyone help?

Magnet

Looking for a photo of the more traditional horseshoe shaped magnet. With iron filings showing a magnetic field would be wonderful. Most image searches turn up fridge magnets only ...

Off

Looking for a photo of a nice desk or side lamp, switched on and switched off from the same angle.

On

Looking for a photo of a nice desk or side lamp, switched on and switched off from the same angle.

Pin the tail on the donkey


Pin the tail on the donkey is a game where children wear blindfolds and try and pin or stick a tail onto a picture of a donkey.

You don't have to play this game with a donkey, you can play pin the horn on the unicorn, or any other variation you want.

Stretch

You stretch something when you pull it so it becomes longer and thinner. When you do warm-up excercises you stretch the muscles in your body, so people call them stretching exercises.

This word is on the wish list. Looking for a photo of someone stretching some pizza dough between their hands, or someone stretching some chewing gum from their mouth to their fingers.
