WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 12 – STILL LIFE

If I didn’t already have an established protocol for the naming of the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE journal entries, I might have named this here entry: WHERE HAVE ALL THE DUDES GONE?

Male participation has declined dramatically in the last couple of weeks. I’m not complaining for personal reasons. I’ll never complain about being surrounded by such lovely ladies. I’m just saying its weak. Get on it men!

Here are this week’s submissions for STILL LIFE:

Time to look to the future and reveal this week’s theme:


WEEK 13 - GAMES
GAMES!

But how does one define GAMES? I would define it like this:

GAMES – noun – a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decide by skill, strength, or luck.

Nothing new from Photography 139’s Shameless Self-Promotion Divison to report.

As always, I look forward to seeing this week’s submissions!

More State Fair?

Been a bit since I published a flower picture from my trip to the Iowa State Fair. Some would say too long.

Time to remedy that!

Did some stuff. But not much.

The Driving Force

Wells have always been a source of fascination for me. But I’m also very glad that I don’t have to drink well water on a regular basis.

This well is from my Aunt Linda’s farm.


The Well at Linda's Farm

I actually didn’t throw anything into the well. I consider this a sign of maturity.
