I love the emotion conveyed in this photo -- compassion for other living creatures. It seems so rare -- at least here where I live. Lovely!

The wonderful Cosmos -- aren't they fun subjects? Nice capture -- you get the feeling the wind was blowing the pedal upwards, yes?

Straight From The Hose

Watch out -- they say there is a high volume of lead in hoses today. If you want to drink of them, buy ones that say they have no lead : ) or let them run for a few minutes to get the water sitting in them out...Best!

Vine

This is that nasty morning glory vine that is highly invasive in Wisconsin. Yikes! It kills everything it entangles.

Hopeless Abandon

I can't stand to look at this picture. It's awful. You've got tears in my eyes. I HATE it! I hope you buried the poor mom and her babies out of respect for taking her photo...

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EVERYONE
* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Opposum babies in the pouch of the mother can survive impacts by cars. If you are reading this, please pass on the word that when you find an opposum hit on the side of the road, it is very important to check to see if there are babies. If there are, they can usually be saved. These babies may have survived, and climbed around the mom to try to find food and water. They may have died a brutal death of dydration, and exposure.

I support a local wildlife rehabiliator in the area and she has shared this advice with me. If you don\'t know where a wildlife rehabilitator is in your area, call the local humane society and/or your local zoo keepers. They can direct you.

I can't believe this ranked where it did. It should have been much higher. Disappointing, huh?!

A Distorted View
by RiderGal

Comment:
I can't tell what the person in the photo is holding up. The photo is very grainy all over all well. Maybe if the photo was clear and you could see the item causing the distortion, it would be more evocative.
