It's going to take weeks to clean up the inside of the Jeep...

Q's shadow

In the shadows under the floor

Our big computer lives on a four-foot raised floor, beneath which the scary cable-tray monster lurks in the shadows...

Ryan's (and Jenny's) Shadow(s)

I was torn between using this for "Shadow" or "Self Portrait".

This week...

Self portraits are all the rage.

Shadows due on Sunday!

Q's fire hydrant

Ryan's Fire Hydrant

A wee little bit of a fire hydrant.

Cory's Fire Hydrant

Ha! Two fire hydrants at once!

The yearly National Championships Bike Race was happening in Downers Grove this weekend and I carefully got an alternative shot, but I didn't like it as much.

Next week's topic

I didn't manage to log make a "next week post" yesterday, but here it is a little late: Shadows!

Fire hydrant pictures due tomorrow.

Small flowers and an inchworm

I'm not too proud of this photo - time and weather conspired against me. I propose recycling this topic in late spring next year.

Monet's Flowers

I pushed the limits of photography vs. illustration last week, so I decided to do it again. Here are 10 shots of some yellow coneflowers blended together in one exposure, kind of simulating a Monet painting. I stole the idea from here.

If that doesn't count, here's a nice calla lily.

Next week's topic

In line with the "post the topic on Friday" idea, next week's topic is...

Fire hydrants!

Flowers are due on Sunday.

Fear: Triskaidekaphobia

It turns out "fear" is more difficult to come up with a picture for than I originally thought it would be. I hope a montage counts.

This was going to be my backup image. I think it does a good job of instilling fear:

Fear

This is a pretty lame entry - a bagworm. Right now, they are eating all my trees. If you are a tree, bagworms cause fear.

Topic for 8/1 - 8/10

As I recall, we talked about posting the topics a weekend early to get two weekends worth of time on each (and overlap each a little). So here's the topic for the coming week, due 8/10:

Flowers!

(I moved that one up some in the "future topics" since it is getting late in the summer and more likely that flowers will start wilting soon)
