FIVE again

Five pieces of my favorite dark chocolate. Er..., well, hummmm...it took a long time to focus, okay?

FIVE, yet again

Five antique jugs, still life. I know what I did wrong here. I should have placed the ebony one where the white stone one is, closer to the natural light.

FIVE...more

Ohmygoodness! Heidi just reminded me of the "perfect" five; this is, in Hungary, called (and it is famous) "The Five-in-Hand". In the Hortobagy, which is the wild country, or you may have heard of it as the Eastern Steppes, ancient warriors established horsemanship competitions during their boring times. This one is where the rider stands on the bare backs of 2 horses and drives 3 more in front of him and they ride flat-out, like the wind. The challenge: none of the 5 horses is harnessed together! Thus, the name, as 5 separate reins control 5 separate horses.

In this season of course there are no flowers, but I just had to go to my file and pick a blossom with 5 points. This is a columbine.

more on FIVE

This frosty morning I waited below this tree as crows were coming and going. Since I don't have a photo editing program to add or remove a crow, I had to wait for five of them to be still for the shutter-click of a moment. Seems there were always just two, or more than 6, but never five! Finally they got the idea.

"FIVE"

Two nights ago I was on my way home from Heidi's when at the top of a rise, these five clouds with comma tails danced temptingly in front of me. I knew the moment was a fleeting one, so I stopped my car, turned on the hazard lights and snapped the photo right through the windshield. My apologies to you if you were one of the cars held up behind me!

now, THAT"S cold! this is the bottom of the Falls

Extra Credit?

Pat and I have gone to the Falls together not one, but THREE different times. I am posting a couple here in order to encourage you to take that outing. Hoarfrost is so photogenic!

INTERACTION

Sharing too-hot cocoa this snowy morning. Amanda and Heidi. I hope to get my new photo editing system installed very soon so I can learn to do much more than just cropping!

Okay, I know I got only half-credit for posting an older photo for this assignment. So here are 2 brand new ones. When we had 2 of our grandsons spend this last week-end with us, the most fun they had was actually during quiet time, sharing family scrapbooks

INTERAC TION

Obviously, this is a summer interaction. I am going to try to add a new one for this week, but with no children at home and being so cold outside...! I will keep looking!

Emotion

This is a very old, thus very poor-quality photo, but I had to post it being as most of you know Heidi! She is the scary one on the right, with her big sister.

Emotion

This is the famous statue of raising the flag at Iwo Jima. Dick and I were overcome with many emotions. I wanted to capture the feelings of pride and struggle rather than photograph just the whole statue which is the image we see so often.
