30 Days of Photographs IV: Two Birds, One Stone

It's almost been a week of this way more than a week long photo challenge. We're nowhere near finished, and MikeWJ and I can already feel you weaklings giving up. It makes us smile.

Add your link at the bottom of the page, and try to muster up the energy to look at the other photos and offer your condolences.

Day 6: Two Birds, One Stone

I regretted this the second I suggested it. But when MikeWJ and I get together to decide on the prompts, vasts amounts of alcohol and call girls are involved, and the rules state that once a prompt is suggested, you can't take it back. If it survives the grueling ridicule of whomever didn't make the suggestion, it's in. And frankly, we desperately needed a bird prompt to appease Cheryl.

I really hadn't thought it through, though. Two birds and a stone. Where am I supposed to find a stone willing to model with two birds?

I know. Impossible.

So I had to get creative. And I baked an apple pie because I know M was feeling stressed out, and probably needed some comfort food. And when I took it out of the oven, I realized it would make a good photo, too. You know, the pie that both made M feel a little better, and gave me something to photograph for my challenge. Totally killing two birds with one stone.

NOW can I join #teamlame?

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.

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.

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.
