Day 20-"Shine"

 

Today as I dropped my umbrella on the porch outside Flag Fork Inn, Instantly I was struck by this image. The umbrellas reminded me of people. The green & the red sort of drawn up and crouched together in the corner and then the big yellow one, a pop of sunshine on an otherwise dreary day. Life is like that. When the clouds loom above us & rain relentlessly pours down on our being, we have a choice. We can choose to find another self-loathing person like ourselves & crouch down in the corner with them, or we can put ourselves out there & say "Look there's hope!". Shine for them until they can feel the Son searching for them from being the clouds. Much love to all of you who carried yellow when mine was blue. What color is your umbrella today?

Day 19-"Super Star"

Can't believe I've made it to day 19, Woo Hoo! Tonight my son Jeffrey & I explored shutter speeds. Dragging the shutter, I was able to capture this image as he traced the outline of a star, mid-air, with a sparkler we had left over from last Fourth of July. He thought it was about as cool as a 16 year old could. 

 

Day 18-"Party Stool"

I call this the party stool, because my sisters and I used to fight over sitting on it to eavesdrop on my grandmother's party line. For those of you too young to know what a "party line" is...don't be deceived by the name. It's no party! It's just a bunch of people sharing a phone line, because they're too cheap to pay for their own.
 

Day 17-"Long Distance"

Growing up in "the country" as a child, Our only neighbors were two fields away. I took this foggy image of my beloved childhood neighbors home, from my parents' home in Springfield. I titled it long distance, because the county line was drawn right down the middle of our homes & those "long distance charges" were a constant area of contention in both our homes. Mothers of both having to go as far as to have the phone company remove the long distance feature.

 

Day 16-"Welcome Back Carter"

 

Day 15- "Toothless Wonder"

Day 14-Lillian Bassman

 Was so excited to come home & find that my Lillian Bassman coffee table book had been delivered. I am a big fan of her high contrast black &  white images. She's fabulous!!!

 

Day 13 "Retro Bubble Lights"

On my way home from Brentwood, I had to make several stops to get my "retro fix". There's so much vintage eye candy from Lexington to Nashville it almost boggles the mind. Gyrates the heck out of this one! I MUST have some of these lights for my tree next year. They are just so much fun!!! 

 

Day 12-Spotty G

Can't believe my sister has kept this little "predator" alive! He's at least ten years old. I got one too & mine died within two weeks. He's shedding his skin, so his head is a little flakey. Running short on time this whole week. Busy with Imaging USA. This challenge is much harder than I imagined it would be!!
 

Day 11-"Escablades"

This is my nephew Matthew. I don't know if he's double jointed or what? Anyhoo, He's the pic of the day.
