I love what these challenges push me to do. The very first picture in my present computer’s library is this one of me at age 5 that I found in an old album and recently scanned into my computer . As you can see, it was much-damaged–including yellow stains from some liquid that it sat under long ago. Below are the original poor picture as well as the muted one after I cropped and worked on it in IPhoto.

Peek-a-boo Pinkies
I just couldn’t resist posting this picture. A visiting friend asked if it was okay if he removed his shoes and of course i said no problem. Imagine my surprise when these toes presented themselves to my view, just a foot or so from where I was sitting on a nearby stool. He nonchalantly twitched his toes as he told an engaging tale. They were sort of like a director’s baton, giving emphasis to certain emphatic points in the story.
If you know who this is, shhhhhh, don’t tell. I don’t want to embarrass anyone.

The Prompt: SHARE PHOTOS OF BRIGHT IMAGES.
Whether your picture is naturally bright from the sun or other lighting, or you create the brightness with post-processing, have fun and get creative.
Time for another multi-photo challenge! Wow us with punchy pops of orange.
Photo Prompt–Scale: This week, share an image that highlights a size relationship — make us pause and take a second look to understand the scale of the elements in your photo.
Have you ever noticed how a cat always seeks the newest thing in the house to sit on? In this case, my overnight bag in my nephew’s house, under my nephew’s cat!
Nothing so irresistible as a new puppy.
I repeat. . . .
These young ladies are very happy in their new home at La Ola, a home for abused girls in Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico.
And, of course, it is inevitable that I’d close by saying Happy New Year!!
I think it is obvious why this picture naturally fell into the oddball category. I didn’t crop, wanting you to know I had the good sense not to be in the same room with this cranky old codger, who was 1500 miles away as he serenaded me.
I don’t know why I find this picture oddball. Perhaps it is the “Mickey Mouse ears” on the little girl that are really the heads of two boys in the water, or the contrast of all the bobbing heads with the one boy stretched as far out of the water trying to catch the ball that was thrown by whom? Perhaps it just happened to be flying by like the pelicans that are above and out of view.
