Challenge?

What challenge?  Ohhhh, yeah! I think I remember.  SOMEONE started a challenge in the second most notoriously busy month of the year.  (December being thee busiest).  What a weew-do, like Kaija would say. I'll get there.  I will.

BTW, that is a link down there on the Mother Nature post.  Looking at it now, it looks like a really random comment.  I haven't lost it, I promise.

Weathered or not.

Simplicity

Ahhhh! The simplicity of childhood.  

It's the only time in your life when it's kinda cute to steal the neighbors stuff. 

Mother Nature & Mother's Nature

Ooops.

Misunderstood.  I thought Diptych/Triptych was just two or three photos that tell a story.  They need to be next to each other.  Like Yvonne has.  I'm going to have to figure out how to fix mine.

*ETA: I'm just going to have to skip fixing this one.  My photo editing programs that I use do not have that capability.  And I hesitate to download anything on to my computer because you never know which programs mess with your computer.

Diptych & Triptych

Kinda sounds like a name Sarah Palin might name a pet.  That kind of reminds me of when I was standing in line with Sabrina at the Sarah Palin book signing.  I was prego with Kaija and I mentioned to Sabrina that maybe I should ask Sarah a good name or middle name for the baby.  She just laughed and told me that I'd end up with something off the wall.  I realized she was right and quickly decided not to obligate myself into naming my baby something wack-a-doodle.  We shared a good laugh, anyway. And Kaija's middle name is normal.  Grace.

Anywho.  The top picture isn't dip or trip.  I just love Izzy in this picture.  So, I'm sharing it.

 Look, Mom!  I can do a cross! Look, Mom!  Did you see, Mom?

There.  Now I can burn my millions of pictures to CD's, speeding up my computer, and then pick up my Rebel again.  Time to capture the last 9 challenge photos.  I think I'm going to walk down to the... oooh.  I can't spill my secrets.  You'll just have to come back to see what I'm thinking.

Contrast

 I love the contrast of the color of the flowers against the green.

And I love the touch of whimsy it brings into my yard. 

And I love the stems that are beheaded by Kaija.
