Challenge C182 - "Adapted from the Book" +++

[faranya]

We still have three more days to go and a weekend in which to go out and grab some shots. Thanks for the warm response to my theme and such amazing efforts.

Please take time to post some comments if you are able to do so. Not everyone has the opportunity, and I realize this. But feedback is very gratifying to the individuals who have posted their entries, so even one or two comments can make a difference to someone.

Thanks again!

Brenda

The new computer is on it's way. At which point I will be selling this one to whomever is willing to pick it up off the ground when I throw it from a moving vehicle!

I'm so sorry I haven't been able to enter more photos in the challenge. I've been trying to make plans for a trip and getting the housework done. I'm rearranging the downstairs back to how I had it when we first moved here. I took down my studio for the summer (unless a job comes up that I need it) and then we've been seeing what we need to sell out in the garage to make more space so it doesn't look like a storage unit.

Marv has a beautiful roll top desk that is made of oak and very large and heavy. We just never could find a place to put it. That is the biggest thing to get rid of. I'm thinking of just tossing over 150 VHS movies. Some great disney stuff and many Oscar winning movies. I have a lot more movies than books on my shelves.

Anywho, I've had a look at the entries just now and what wonder entries they are. Your theme is a huge success! Glad to see your bee shot in there too and I've seen that movie, it was very good!

I will take my photo from the comp gallery and put it in the exhibition. As Mick's flight comes in on Tuesday evening and we'll be gone most of the next week, then Marv's mom is having hip replacement and then off to (I hope) the Grand Tetons!

Is there a freecycle list in your area? Good way to unload those VHS tapes.

No worries! You paid your dues last time. And what a chore it can be to rearrange furniture. Seems like we always want to move or get rid of the heaviest stuff. That and packing makes for a tough combination. I hope all goes well and nothing gets strained or sprained.

Those VHS movies would be classics. Surely someone might want them?

[faranya]

Well, that's one way to get rid of a computer!!

 

[faranya]

Great! And you still have a day left.

I'm hoping this weekend has proven to be productive in terms of photo opportunities! I've been ill for much of it, with a flu bug, so I haven't had much chance to comment but will return tomorrow. The galleries are looking very impressive indeed.

Have ideas for a few shots, but can't get to the locations for a couple days... guess they will be a bit late

I have done it before but can't for the life of me remember exactly what I did. If anyone can assist, I'd be grateful.

Get those last-minute entries in, folks!!!

I will try to close this myself if no Challenge Fairy appears with a magic wand to help me. So please be patient.

I'm not seeing many comments this time around. Thanks to those who have posted them!! Perhaps others would like to add a few as they're looking through the galleries before voting.

I appreciate the amazing entries, and am constantly impressed by the imagination everyone has shown in translating this theme into visual images.

[Nicolas Isaksson]

Got one in competition! On the nick of time.

 

[faranya]

I will upload a "closed" placeholder to prevent further entries but from there, I am lost. Desperately trying to remember how to proceed.

Anyone out there??

Haaaalllpp!!!!
