30 Days of Photographs IV: Mushroom

Welcome to Day 5 of 30 Days of What The Fuck Were We Thinking. The linky thing can be found at the bottom, along with MikeWJ's dirty socks, and my sanity.

Day 5: Mushroom

This time of year, the forests of Finland are full of mushrooms. When my grandfather was still alive, he would spend hours in the woods, picking mushrooms for us. He never ate any himself, but I grew up loving them. My grandfather is gone now, and all his secret mushroom spots are forgotten. Still, it would've been very easy for me to go out into the woods and take a photo of a mushroom. But I assume we're going to be seeing a lot of mushroom photos today, so I decided to go another route.

This is a natural sea sponge from the Mediterranean, or, as we say in Swedish, a washing mushroom.

...

Pathetic, I know. I'm officially joining Team Lame. I just didn't have time to go out into the woods.

30 Days of Photographs IV: Backwards

Welcome to Day 4 of Bob, kindly brought to you by yours truly and my very good friend, the wonderfully talented, and occasionally slightly grumpy, MikeWJ. If you're planning on participating in the challenge today, please reconsider.

If you're still here and still planning to participate, please link up at the bottom of the page, then check out the photos that the rest of our little group of misfits have posted.

Day 4: Backwards

Backwards. Don't we all sometimes wish we could go back in time? Get a do over?

I certainly do.

Right now, for example, I'm wishing I could rewind time about three weeks or so, to that moment when MikeWJ said, "Are you fucking kidding me? You know we're going to hate this, right? Fine, whatever. We'll do it. But don't come whining to me when you're too busy to take photos and comment every day.", when I asked him if we could host a photo challenge in September.

30 Days of Photographs IV: Soft

Bob is three days old today. Only 27 more to go until I can murder him in his sleep and bury him in the backyard. Link up at the bottom of the page, and go check out the rest of the photos. Oh, and try not to bash me on the head with anything.

Day 3: Soft

I know, I know, so predictable. But how could I not post a photo of my gorgeous Yoda today? Besides, if there's one thing the internet is in dire need of, it's more cats.

It's already Day 2 of this wonderful challenge that was all MikeWJ's fault. Time flies when you're having fun, eh?

Today's theme is Illuminate. Link up at the bottom of the page and don't forget to check out the other participants and tell them they light up your world. Or something.

Day 2: Illuminate

My photo for today is of the bling that M brought me from London a few days ago. It's so bright and shiny it lights up the room. He's in Paris now, and I'm eagerly waiting to see if he'll bring me back something even shinier this time.

Summer and Bob and The Worst List in the History of Lists

It's the end of the month again. Crazy, I know, someone must've stolen a few days in the middle of the month. And the beginning. And the end. Really, I think August consisted of just the first and last day of the month. I certainly didn't think I had taken many photos this month, seeing as I could hardly remember the month to begin with.

As usual, PJ's hosting his monthly photo blogging challenge, this month with the theme "summer". Summer is a great theme, but sadly, our two weeks of summer occur in June, not August, so the photos I've taken this month are hardly very summery. I'm still going to give it a go, though.

My first photo is of a little girl, of love, of newlyweds, of dancing,  and promises of the future.

My second photo is of Gucci, swimming in the sea. I sure wouldn't go in, but apparently having 50 pounds of fur keeps you warm, even in the chilly waters of early winter late summer.

My third photo is of the Archipelago Sea at 7:30 am on a Monday, driving over a bridge in the misty morning light. 

My fourth photo is of my brother's band, because nothing says summer like outdoor concerts.

My fifth and last photo is proof that summer is almost over. The leaves are falling off the trees, and the flowers are slowly dying. But hey, at least we don't have snow yet.

Now, go look at some other people's summer, you can find the list over on PJ's blog.

After you're done with that, come back here and I'll tell you about something awesome MikeWJ and I have in store for you.

See, 30 Days of Photographs IV, also known as Bob, starts September 1st. I hope every single one of you will participate and take a photo or thirty. We're really happy with the list of themes this time around, and with happy, I mean we hate it so much we keep asking ourselves what the hell we were smoking when we came up with it. But we promise we won't laugh at your photos. Much.
