weekly word challenge

The words this week were W and Half.

This bird is winging it.

Here's half of a kid through the water.

Here's working Silas, half the size he is now.

Slinging webs.

Half size violin. (actually quarter size, but work with me here)

and my favorite picture of the week,

A boy and mud, what more could you need?

The words this week were blue and happy. At least I hope so, because those are the ones I used.

Here is a blue Shamu lunch box.




A blue floridian sky




A happy puppy.



This picture make me happy. It's some random pic I found while cruising around the internet. The smile on his face and the expression on hers just make me grin.



and here is my newest happy. The hood ornament on my new (used) car.



I was going to get the volvo, but honestly poppets, I just couldn't afford it. Keep in mind I still have to pay my truck payment even though it's not driveable. So I picked this up at an auction for a few thousand dollars, but I feel like a million bucks in it!

Weekly Word Challenge

The words this week were Purple and Arches.

These arches are part of my dining room light.


These are from the matching hall light. The arch of the mirror is gorgeous.

My very boring kitchen cabinet.



The graceful arches of the tree that provides a bridge to my deck for the squirrels.

The arches of the canopy that keeps the house cool in the summer. Not to mention provides the acorns for the squirrels.

I wanted to do purple without using flowers, otherwise there'd be nothing but pictures of flowers. For some reason, I have only purple flowers blooming.

A purple plaque on the breakfast nook wall.

Some purple (ish) fabric on the ceiling of the nook. (also sparkly!)

And in closing, purple arches!

Uh huh. Look what I did. I got the badge, yo. Which hopefully makes up for the fact that the pictures are crap.

Words this week were bokeh and heart.


>

Bokeh or lens flare? Your call.



>

I believe this may, possibly be close to the definition of bokeh, also known as secular lights. I shot this in manual, and it's not a big black square, so bokeh or not, I'm hyped!




This young lady, who has an upside down heart shaped trunk opening (I'm reaching, I know), looks like she's getting ready to share some juicy gossip to someone on her other side.

Other random photos:

This is my favorite from the circus this weekend. Even with the huge, giant head in the frame.



I shot these next two in aperture priority mode so I could have the blur of the scarves. I like how you can tell that the second one is spinning down.






Thanks for stopping by. I may actually have pics that apply to the theme next week!

Weekly Words Challenge

Yay!! It's the Weekly Word Challenge! I'm going to attempt to put the badge on here next week.

The words were ANGRY and R.. I had an order I was going to attempt, but I simply cannot make the fog in my brain clear enough to make it work. So I'll just explain them in the order they landed.

This is my father and his first Racecar.

ARRRRRGH! A pirate.

Here, he's just Ready. I'm not sure for what.




This wasn't sideways when I loaded it. But it's a picture of ANGRY.



Here we have Rustic. Also my favorite picture of him, ever.

A Rottweiler.

More ANGRY.

RAH Rah. This is my oldest daughter when she was but a wee bairn.

Come back next week for more of the same, but different!

Weekly Word Challenge

It's the weekly word challenge! I'm glad I joined this, at least I'll post once a week. Believe me, with everything going on, I'm doing good to get that. The weird thing is, I blog all day in my head. Do you guys do that? Just me? Loony bird, you say? Well, that's not nice. I'm taking my toys and going home.

After I show you my interpretation of the words for this week, which were spring and opening.

Nothing says spring like a bunny. This is Cabeza de Leon, aka beza. His name translates from spanish to head of a lion. Because (wait for it...) he's a lion headed rabbit. The cleverness, it astounds you.




Spring is also epitomized by baseball. Or in this case, tball. Or as it was known for most of the game, tackle tball.

(yes, I am aware I need to get him some baseball socks and cleats. Opening day kind of snuck up on me, OK?) OH WAIT! It was opening day! I can use these for both words. That's good, because for opening? I got nuttin.

Have I mentioned that my back hurts? Yes? fine. carry on...

Weekly Word Challenge

I recently joined Tink in the weekly word challenge. The words for this week were Orange and N.

My interpretations (drum roll please):

Orange speed demon.





Orange books. I do believe that Penguin Books need to vary their covers a bit.





The best orange of all. An orange haired niece.





From the leap frog fridge set. Where we spell naughty words because we're 12.

Off my pompous latin sign in the entryway.

I'm not sure if there are any rules I need to post or what the protocol might be, so if there's something else I need to do, hopefully someone will let me know.

Thus concludes my first weekly challenge. Ah'm just plum tuckered out.
