love the textures on those bricks & love that insects expression !! .. does that book say 'web dictionary'? ... after looking for a minute i realise its websters dictionary !!!!!! .. i didnt think there was actually a web dictionary .. !!! ... great story about miss taterbug .. is she ever offended when you call her an insect?? !!! i wanted to be a entomologist when i was her age so i wouldnt have minded ....
i love this bit "I told her to find another solution. " .. in the relationship between my daughter & myself it would work a whole lot better if our personalities were reversed ... i'm pretty laid back and actually hate telling ppl wot to do, which of course is not a good thing as a parent (i do try and overcome this personality defect tho!!)... my daughter ali, on the other hand has no trouble asking ppl to do stuff for her ... i try telling her to "find another solution" quite often, or say "do it yourself", but most things of that nature need repeating ... she's 18 years old and is overseas right now after being away for 6 weeks .. she'll be back in a bit over a week at which time i'm planning on putting into effect some major changes in our relationship .. wish me luck !!! ...
the E.Coli ppl probably dont like being told wot to do either .. you know when ppl do the exact opposite because they dont like being told!!! ... cutting off their noses to spite their faces .. dont know the results of E.Coli but i reckon it could be a whole heap worse than that!!! ...
looking forward to seeing lucisart .. at first i thought you might'v used it on the bricks but realised it was probably just the pattern .. they're an excellent brick behind the insect!! .. i'm focusing on the bricks right now coz on the weekend we went looking for some to match the existing ones on the house coz we're doing an extension .. we werent successful matching them tho ..
obviously this it too long for a 'post reply' and a pm would'v been the way to go .. sorry, but its staying .. :)

this is just excellent ... an amazing and wonderful photograph and fantastic processing .. 'the guardians' or 'the ghostly guardians' ... probably a bit lame? .. and i reckon your title is excellent anyway .. :):)

Day 27 Schoolchildren

another great read and another great shot ... and if you do put yourself out there and actually smile and say hi to total strangers you'll get so many different reactions .. i find that the positive ones far outweigh the ones that are negative .. to have a nice moment with a total stranger is just excellent ... :)

you are certainly the world traveller!! .. i wonder if moss vale is cold enough for you ??
altho today, saturday, is the most beautiful day ever .. going to be 19c .. it was 20c the day before yesterday .. i'm in picton and the temp here is a lot warmer than moss vale .. but enough about the weather !!
love the glimpse of the deaf cat on your lap .. i'd love a fisheye lens one of these days .. the effect is excellent .. :)

Day 28a - Lava Glow
by sherpet

Comment:
OMG .. shez .. this is awesome ... i'm not sure, but they looked like peas in a pod or something, and when i opened it i just dont know .. i absolutely love things that i cant work out immediately, that emerge as you look .. this is totally beautiful .. (i still dont know if they are peas !!!!!! or just the play of light, either way is beautiful) ... :):)x
after reading your comments i'd say there are no peas in sight !!

OMG .. shawn .. this is absolutely brilliant .. i havent been voting much lately and havent even been looking in the challenges that much either, so i missed this amazing image .. congratulations on such an imaginative and beautiful piece of art and a personal best ..
i came to check out wot you'd been doing after your comment on my bloody sheep .. that was pretty funny .. i was expecting to some nude !!! ... of course any idiot can open it, but i doubt any of the ppl who gave me 1's, 2's and 3's would even know how !!! ..
its totally obvious that it was a blue ribbon winner without that smartarse title .. !!! lol lol ... that's the last time i try and inject a bit'v humour into a challenge ... lol again, coz i doubt that'll be the last time at all .. :)
