Oddball photo challenge…on a cracker

Besides going to church and then to work, Sunday is a chance to participate in Cee’s Oddball Photo Challenge.  I used Lomo-ish from Picasa on today’s kitchen/food oddball.

Happy Sunday!

 

Square/s

Today I’m being wild and crazy, participating in two challenges at once:  Cee’s Oddball Photo Challenge and Debbie’s One Word Sunday.  I wanted to call this post “Square Oddball”, but that would be two words, hence just “Square/s.”

This is the view you get when taking an iPhone photo of two of the five bucks having a meal just outside the screened cabin window in Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains.  The phone won’t focus past the screen as would my Nikon here, but it does create an oddball photo with plenty of squares.

(Sorry about the two different fonts.  It doesn’t show up that way in the original and won’t change when I try to edit it to all be the same. )

Oddball Photo Challenge…out of the frying pan

Thankfully, there was no “out of the frying pan” here, just another one of the oddball kitchen/food photos I enjoy finding and taking.  Or maybe it was actually something from “Stranger Things”.  I can’t quite recall.  🙂

At any rather, a most happy and blessed Sunday to all of you or, if you’re in Australia, New Zealand, or somewhere similar, I hope it was a happy and blessed Sunday.

To see more oddball photos or to join in, head over to Cee’s and click on today’s date.

Oddball Photo Challenge…Don’t cry for me, Argentina…

…or anyone else.

To my delight Cee’s brought back the Oddball Photo Challenge. So I’m switching “Silent Sunday” to “Silent Saturday” so I can be part of it.  Very, very early Monday morning, I’ll be aboard a Southwest Airlines flight to Arizona for my yearly visit to see my parents. I love spending time with them and I also plan to enjoy the 60 and 70 degree temperatures while I’m there.   I know I just had a blogging break over Christmas, but I can barely keep up with everyone’s blogs and entries when I’m at home, where I have an internet connection, let alone at my parents’ who don’t.  Besides, I only see them once a year usually, so they and what we do deserve my undivided attention.  But it won’t be long and I’ll be back.  In the meantime, enjoy what each day holds for you.

I scream, you scream

It’s time once again for the Oddball Photo Challenge.  While walking around Old Town Pasadena, I glanced down a cobbled alley, filled with restaurants, shops, and (evidently) an ice cream store.  This is one big cone and let’s not even look up the calorie count!

Abandoned

It’s a glorious spring day in northern Illinois as I write this post on Saturday…warm, sunny, windy (of course)…absolutely what we’ve been waiting for.  The windows are open, I’ve had a walk around the lake, taken some photos, and sat on a bench just relaxing and enjoying being outside.  Tomorrow is Palm Sunday as well as the latest installment of the Oddball Photo Challenge.  Here’s my oddball for this week.

COB Photo Challenge, Mar. 19, 2017…lid

“Flipping” through my online photo files, I found this shot that, although I like it, both in the original and in this edit, had me a bit flummoxed as to what it was.  The next shot showed that it was a photo of the lid to a small pot, glass with a handle on top.  Obviously something happened with the light, but I like the minimalist abstraction of it and it’s a perfect oddball.

COB Photo Challenge, Mar. 12, 2017…a delicate flower

Last week, a piece of string. This week, a hair clip. You just never know what odd thing you’ll find on the park path.

COB Photo Challenge Mar.5, 2017…contortionist

When walking in the park, I generally see the usual suspects: plants, animals, birds, tracks, and sometimes humans.  But every so often, I have a close encounter of the odd kind, the sort that’s just right for a Sunday Oddball Photo Challenge episode. I edited this with Picasa’s Lomo-ish for just a bit more pizzaz.

COB Photo Challenge, February 19, 2017…biking while high

During the Tour de France, the routes are heavily decorated with a variety of decorations.  Of course, bicycles figure heavily and, as yellow is the color of the jersey, the “maillot jaune”,  worn by the winner at the end of each stage and, of course, at the end of the race, many yellow bikes are seen.  This one would be a bit uncomfortable, to say nothing of not having gears, and how long would the rider’s legs have to be to reach the pedals?  Odd, indeed.
