Upside-Down Egg Timer

Okay, now wait a minute... You're fooling me. And you're fooling me well. When looking at the stuff in the background, it looks as if the sand in the hourglass is indeed running up. Because the stuff in the background seems placed regularly. But that is of course impossible, since sand can't run up.
Nah...you're fooling me :) And you're fooling me well :)
Gosh, I must look stupid now and when others will read this after roll over.

What a cute puppy! I'm sure he feels very much protected and safe with that big cosy brother at his side and keeping him nicely warm.
A keeper for the album

Good job Kees. Nice earthy colours against the cold ones of the sea and the sky. Only commenting.

I thought this one would have ended up way higher. An original and fun take on the challenge.
DOF supporting the overall image. Fantastic job.

Hydrangea

I love dried hydrangeas. And dead they are even more beautiful then when they flower (in my opinion at least) Have them in my garden myself I can't pass a day without looking at them.
Although they need to stay on when dead in order to keep them strong during winter and make them grow even better the next year, I couldn't resist cutting 2 of them to put in a vase in my office.
Great image showing their beauty Penelope.

A peaceful winter walk

I would not only walk through it; I feel more like laying down in it and admire it for hours.
