Congratulations on your blue! Good to see all ribbon place getters receive no votes under five, considering it was not an appealing challenge imho.

Congratulations, Lydia, for ribboning (this sense of the word isn't accounted for in the various online dictionaries, though it seems apropos for our purposes) with this fine image. I like that we can see its ephemeral nature, as its new incarnation is being born. Also, the road across the way does acknowledge continuity.

Did he score? Handsome sepia image, so iconic in America, and timeless. The people on the other side of the stadium are perfectly tiny, as drawn in countless paintings and cartoons. My seven should have been higher.

Great close up. I don't know how you were able to get so close without it flying away. Were you dressed up like a dragonfly?
