JNW’s Halloween Challenge – Boo

On October 11, 2016 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Photo Challenge5 Comments

Here is another of the various decorations that we have done in front of our old house for Halloween. The children in the neighborhood were both terrified and excited to come to our front door to get their candy. We never jumped out at anyone and there were never any real people in the scenes that we would create, but every year was always a different theme. This particular year, we had done scary clowns, which always seems to creep people out. So, for today’s challenge of Boo, we chose this creepy clown who probably whispers boo in a low and spooky voice before going into an evil laugh.

The Daily Post Photo Challenge – H2O

Capturing the motion of water can be difficult, but when it works, it can also be very beautiful. There are all sorts of opportunities to capture water in motion whether a river, waves on a beach, or a tropical waterfall. Even with all of those choices, for this week’s challenge of H2O we went back to perhaps a more simplistic view, an urban view, the water flowing from fountains in various forms. It is a constant all over the world, wherever you go you will find beautiful waterfalls, but sometimes the water itself steals the show and not the ornate statues that adorn the fountain itself. Here are a few of our favorite shots where the water is captured, frozen in the moment.

Seeing Red

We have always been big fans of burgundy and rust colors. There is something rich and soothing about those colors, perhaps it is just that they represent our favorite times of year, which is autumn and the Christmas season. In fact, when we recently bought a new sofa, we even chose a burgundy color for it, which is now in storage while we are staying in Germany. This past week was a pretty significant one in our lives as not only did we move to Germany, but we closed on the sale of our home in Colorado Springs this past Friday. To say that our lives have changed would be an understatement. Who knows, perhaps we will find a burgundy couch for our new apartment just to make it feel like home. 😀

For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge of Dark Reds, we chose to share some different photos with dark reds, including one of our couch that is patiently awaiting our return.
