Week of 10/31 to 11/06 - V is for VIOLET

Don't forget, we are no longer able to use Mr. Linky. So just go ahead and comment on the photos and leave a link there.

I know most of you will take your photos of violet in regards to color or perhaps flower, but MY Violet is my daughter's cat! She's named after the girl Violet in the Disney movie "The Incredibles." :)

Week of 10/24 to 10/31 - V is for VIEW

This one is pretty self explanatory.   Shows us something with a VIEW!

Edie's Photo:

This was taken about 15 minutes from my home.  You would never know by looking at this pic though that the beach is only 30 minutes away, and that quite a few highly populated cities are less than 5 minutes away.

I was in Chicago Sunday, so a perfect opportunity for a "view" photo. This view is from the 94th floor observation deck of the John Hancock Building, and it is spectacular. It was a very cloudy day, or I'm sure it would have been prettier. They say on a clear day you actually see 4 states from up there. You don't even see birds up there because they don't fly that high up! It was my first visit and I was pretty awestruck.

Our Mr. Linky thing is broken and sort of a pain in the butt, so would you please just share your links in the comment box from now on? Thanks!

Week of 10/17 to 10/24 - U is for UNDER

Oh my, we only have a few letters left in the alphabet don't we? This year is coming to an end fast, although I will admit Corinna and I are scratching our heads for what we will come up with for the letters X and Z.

Luckily we still have a few more weeks to think about it, for we are only on the 2nd week of the letter U. This week we went from looking UP to looking at things down UNDER. Let's see what you have UNDER you.



Edie's photo: I decided to go walking in a rocking ravine of sorts that actually had some water in it for once. This is a walkway that goes over it. When I took the photo I thought the over exposed/black & white look might be cool, now Im wishing I had maybe done a little less with it. Cool thing is I caught a plane in the shot without realizing it.

Corinna's photo: I stood "under" a tree and looked up for this shot.


Seems like our Mr. Linky thingamajig is more trouble than it's worth, so please just leave your links in the comments section, okay?

Week of 10/11 to 10/17 - U is for UP

Well much as we like the letter T and the two themes it brought our way, its time to move on to the next letter and theme.

This week we are asking you to look UP. What do you see when you look overhead? What you do see when you are standing up? What do you see when you are way UP high? What do you see near you that symbolizes UP?

As always, feel free to post the links to your photos below. Can't wait to see what you all came UP with.

Week of 10/3 - 10/10: T is for TREE (2nd theme)

Here is the 2nd of our T themes this week. If you are just checking in now and want to know what theme is for this week, just scroll down and you will see it.

Edie's Photo: Ok so you would think that get a picture of a tree is easy right? Not always. I unfortunately waited until the last minute to do the assignment, and had to make do with a local park down the street. Unfortunately, the trees there were... um so so. They tended to be all clumped together, with cluttered backgrounds behind them and none of them stood out in any way. So I decided to go with a different type of "tree" shot. I admit this type of shot is one of my favorite, and I have done similar shots like this before but it's still better than an single tree shot I tried getting today.

Week of 10/3 - 10/10: T is for TWO

Sorry everyone.  Edie came down with a bad flu bug the beginning of last week and just didnt get a chance to take her photo until this weekend.   So this week we will be hitting you with a DOUBLE theme week.

The first theme for this week is TWO..  as in one, two buckle my shoe.   Do you have TWO of something near you?  Perhaps you know of an image of a number TWO near you?   This is one of those themes with lots of possibilities.    We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Week of 9/12 to 9/19/10 - SOUND

So last week we had you all staring at the sun, or something that resembles a sun. This week we are asking you to photograph a SOUND or something that symbolizes a SOUND to you. Good luck!


P.S. We don't discuss what our individual photos are going to be ahead of time, only the theme, so this is a total coincidence! LOL
