Sunday Stills: Circles

The Sunday Stills challenge this week was circles.

This is the old school turned community center up on the Reservation.   This entire structure is supposed to look like a bird.  The circular auditorium at the left is the body of the bird. The wings of the bird are the classrooms on the other side of the building.

This is the head of the bird..is he upside down or right side up?  I always thought of him as being belly up..but I am not an architect.  Circles are a big part of the Native Americans Culture.

Chance found some more circles at the Firehall.

What ever this doohickey is..it has lots of circles:)

Sunday Stills: Green

The Sunday Stills challenge this week is the color green.  I have some green that is highly accented with white.

If we didn’t have Evergreen trees here in Minnesota we would be devoid of green in our winter landscape:)

Sunday Stills: Macro

The challenge this week was macro.  I do like macro photography..here are a few that I took recently.

This is a latch on antique photo album from the late 1800’s.  I bought it in an antique shop..it isn’t full of photos..but it contained quite a few.  On my Forgotten Old Photos blog..we are going through it one page at a time.

January 15, 2011..fresh snow on the Sedum.

Sedum..September 05, 2010..it was just beginning to transition in color from green to pink.

Have a good week everyone:)

A Winner!

Every month I enter a photograph in a photo contest..last months theme was Nostalgia. I entered this photo!

I won!  Thanks Joan at The Retirement Chronicles for this monthly challenge!  Anyone can join, just follow the rules..this month challenge is Bridges.  Here is a link to all the Nostalgia entries.

I took this inside the old teenage hangout in town..it is no longer a hangout for teens.  It is now a place for old people like my husband and I who used to go there all the time when we were much younger:)

Sunday Stills: W

This weeks challenge was the letter W.   I chose the old water tower in town.

It is not used anymore..I wonder when they will tear it down.

If you look closely you can still see the word PARK on this side..RAPIDS is around the bend.  It has been in town as long as I can remember.

Sometimes in the sunset colors of a spring evening..like in April of 2009..the light makes it look pink.

Interesting!  I thought so too..it just goes to show you how light can show you something different from time to time:)

Bloggers Community Photo Challenge: White

I took this in the yard today..the Big Bluestem in the yard has succumbed to the snow. This is my entry for the Bloggers Community Photo Challenge:)
