Life is full of surprises, isn't it? If you're like this author, perhaps there was a time in your life that you were naive to this reality.

It may be a run in with a piranha or a small box of alphabet letters that leaves you wide-eyed or shaking your head. Let me share a smattering of personal surprising pictures from my life's album.
