Blurzles™, May 1961
Oh Blurzles™, why for art thou? (Dang, this blog is classy as heck!). I just scanned a batch of slides from May, 1961, and of the 24-ish scans, I'd say that 20 of them are blurry - I threw away half of them, sadly. But a few were "just OK", and some others were suitable for some Snoozles/Blurzles.
See what I mean? Somebody had The Yips, ruining what would otherwise have been an interesting photo of the House of the Future taken late in the afternoon. Looking at the transparencies on a light table, I couldn't tell that so many of the slides were flawed, and I was really looking forward to seeing this one in detail. D'oh!
Same batch, different location: Grandma and granddaughter are on the path that leads to Adventureland, perhaps they were on their way to enjoy a ride on the Jungle Cruise. But first, would you mind posing for a blurry photo? "Not at all!".

Major-
Just when will 'AI' finally be able to 'sharpen-up' blurry images, putting an end to Snoozles and Blurzles once and for all-? It'll be a great day here on GDB, that's all I can say.
Thanks, Major.
Major, don’t ‘knock’ the blurriness. It hides wrinkles, and probably also grandma’s baggy, saggy hose.
Fun pics, nonetheless. Thank you, Major.
Blurzle lady looks like she's fishing with a pole in the 'Pond of the Future'. I wonder if she's using futuristic bait? (I know it's a railing behind her.)
I don't recognize the pattern on that shopping bag. I also can't figure out if grandma is wearing a hat, maybe one of those clear plastic rain bonnets? Or maybe she has a really tight perm?
Blurzles are good. Blurzles make us use our imagination. (I'm trying to be cheerful after my grumpy comment the other day... can you tell?) ;-)
Thanks, Major.
