Well, I did it. Didn't think I would or could, but I did it. This week's prompts were hard. At least for me!
But there's something about a "challenge" --- I just can't let it go without a good reason. So I had to give it shot.
And I did.
Enough of my blah, blah, blah.......here are my interpretations:
The Small Things
These bottles brought back so many memories when I came across them recently at the dollar store, of all places!! It's the small things, what can I say?
Illustration
This "illustration" is one of my very own. Whenever we go on vacation I bring a travel journal, either one I made or bought. This was from my trip to California in 2008 & while sitting on a bench overlooking the Monteray Bay I journaled & illustrated the sea otters playing in the kelp beds.
Valentine
Do I really need to say anything for this? I think not.
Work of Art
This one was really tough for me. Friday morning I woke up to a bad storm. We had gotten at least 5" of heavy, wet pack snow over night & it was still coming down when I went out at 5:45am with Libbi. I played around & took some pictures & this is the combination of 2 shots overlaid with a faint pink bokeh layer sandwiched in the middle.
Window Beauty
My morning view from my creative corner. Yes, those icicles are hanging from my roof. We have a wood burner in our living room that we heat with in the winter. The heat from the chimney causes the snow to melt & then form these icicles. While they aren't great for the house, they are beautiful to watch form & grow.
So - there ya go. Now why don't you head over to Ashley Sisk's blog to see the other interpretations that some amazing photographers have come up with!

I like your valentine candy better than mine. But then, I'm a sucker for dark chocolate. Have a blessed Sunday.
Those icicles are AMAZING!! Love the little bottles, too!
Love the valentine candy!!
I love your journal idea...it's just lovely. I may borrow it for our next trip. Those bottle candies bring back memories...of chewing sugar-filled wax. :) Great pictures...I love them all! So glad to have found your blog!
I agree with you...I thought these prompts were tough too. Those icicles are beautiful! Even better that you get to enjoy them from the warmth of your house.
Gosh, I remember buying those wax bottles back when they were a penny a piece. Love you icicle shot!
Love your work of art one-very creative! And those icicles-wow!
those are some mighty massive icicles ..danger!! Our snow is is about gone...it's raining again, boo hoo.
Great set.
I really liked your Small Things shot, so colorful. Also the Window Beauty was pretty cool. We had some of those wicked ice cicles a few years ago. This winter has been pretty decent for our area.
Wowsa to those last two shots! Stay war and havea good week
Gosh - I remember those little bottles of sugar water! My husband knocked our icicles off the roof today - yours are like crystal.
Nice!!! Love the mini coke bottles...brings back memories!!! And who can resist the chocolate???
All are nicely done!!!
Oh, do those parafin bottles bring back the memories!!! We loved going to Woolworths to buy those when my mom was shopping, bite off the top, suck out the juice, then chew the wax...I'll bet that would be disgusting as an adult, but as a child, nothing was better!
Oh, those little bottles! What a great find, Patti.
