Okay, here are the prompts for today’s scavenger hunt: Shadow; Keys; Smile; Unedited; Spice. For more scavenger finds go to Ashley Sisk’s at Scavenger Hunt Sunday.
Shadow
A powerful swing
Landed his balls to the wall
Now to get them down
I looked up “balls to the wall” (lest you think it’s a profane saying) and found there were twenty-four definitions in the Urban Dictionary, none of which pertained to this haiku or photo. The definition here is just a play on words, nooo, I wouldn’t have guessed 😆 Warning! Page one of definitions is okay, page two and three has some raunchy definitions.
Keys
This was my first mosaic project with no help or advise. I was quite happy with it, although I discovered later that without filling most of the space on the wood butterfly with glass, marbles or jewelry, I’d end up with big spaces of grout! I rubbed a little glitter glue on the grout so it wouldn’t look quite so bare.
Smile
Now I wonder who this could be? Silly girl!
Unedited
This was my second choice for shadows. Totally unedited.
Spice
The other day I decided to clean everything off the areas around my garden tub – including this wire basket which was filled with soaps. When it came time for me to take a photo for the prompt “spice”, I took down some of my most used spices and put them in this basket. I like it so much, and it makes it so easy to grab the spices I use all the time, it’s going to stay right there on the counter! Except cilantro which really doesn’t get used that much so I’ll exchange it for dried onion flakes.
I love your shadow – very clever and your key holder is gorgeous.
Fun set! I was laughing at the commentary on photo one. I’ll have to google the expression! I’m sure the meaning I am familiar with is on page one, but it would be interesting to see what else it can mean 🙂
It’s kind of funny how idioms stem from something that’s actually happened – or a procedure of some sort. Here’s another interesting link to some idioms: http://socyberty.com/folklore/commonly-used-idioms-and-how-they-came-to-be/
Nice shots…from the thumbnail, I thought those golf balls were two pearls on the beach!
Fantastic pictures!
Both of your shadow shots are great-editing or not. Looks like you use the same spices as I do. Who needs too many?
Great smile!
Great series. Certainly got a smile from your haiku. That last shot is wonderful! It’s making me hungry.
What a rustic wire basket – yes, keep it on the counter! Some people just have the best smile – you make me smile back at you!
These are so great – love the smile, so warm and friendly!
I like the play with shadows and your mosaic looks very cheery and bright. 🙂
the golf balls are clever clever!! fun shot!
