...Maybe we should make it "anything but birds" to level the playing field? (runs for shelter)...

Seriously?

Someone suggests a topic, is called out for it being tailor-made for her, and then you immediately give her what she wants?

Hmmm...

Not at all. Although we are neck-and-neck for third place.

It doesn't seem a bit odd to you to tease someone about suggesting a made-for-them challenge and then schedule it immediately... not even waiting a week or two as usual?

Maybe I'll suggest "Photograph a Member of Lydia's Family" and get that in the works for tomorrow night. :D

It seemed like a fun challenge and, frankly, neither Kirbic (he's here right now btw) nor I had a better inspiration floating in our heads last night, so what the hey? It's not the first time we've done this, scheduled one on fast-track, BTW.

You are a much better photographer than I am as are many on this site. When you put your mind to it there are few better than you! Wendy may come up with a magniIficent capture of a bird in the water, but you will create an image so unique it will blow everyone away:) So don't worry about me. I am just competing with myself!

You're in second place for the year, Larry... so don't tell me I'm a better photog than you! :D

We all know that's not true.

(but thanks bunches for the encouragement!! You're always good at that!)

Not a chance. If it were a ribbon count its not even close! You have 18 Ribbons to my 9. I'm just consistently in the middle of the pack:)

Well... I appreciate that, Larry, but as it looks now, I won't make Top Ten on a challenge with fifteen entries. :D

Win some... lose some.

Some are rained out.

Fritz is playing with Alan Freed right now, and Alan is electrocuting himself in his homemade tent that drowned in a storm.
