I thought it would be harder. Haha, I said… oh, nevermind.


Today’s Photohunt theme is “String(s)”

When I first saw the theme for today’s Photohunt, I thought it was going to be really hard. I know some people just go take a new picture, but I find it’s more fun for me to try to find a picture I’ve already taken that will fit the theme. So, nothing came to mind, and I felt… challenged. But that’s the point, right?

So here’s my take:

A STRING hangs from the middle of these chimes, with a wooden piece attached, out of frame.

A long STRING of lights is woven in and around this animatronic deer’s body.
Deer, Close Up

This is a bunched-up STRING of tinsel garland.

This Angel has a STRING you can use to hang her from a tree.

These bells are hanging from a STRING.

(Hm, Christmas-Time is a very STRINGY time of year, isn’t it?)

Kind of obvious. Shoe STRING.
Foot

Some STRINGY pumpkin guts.

And, and look!

  • You always take such marvelous pictures. I envy you your eye.
    I bet if you’d gone out in search of strings to snap you wouldn’t have gotten anything half as cool.

  • Your title reminds me of something a friend said when we were in college that works great out of context:

    “It felt bigger when it was in my mouth.”

    She was talking about a cough drop.

    Anyway … nice work finding themed photos. I love the chimes!

    those were GREAT. I can’t stand pumpkin guts… makes me feel sick to think about them. But, that last one was very witty and SO sweet. Love your “challenges”.

  • I did a double take with the wind chimes…I thought they were a gun for a minute!

  • Again — you did it again. You found all the perfect pictures and a great comment with each. — Star gazer lilies — those were the featured flower at my youngest daughter’s wedding also. Beautiful memories. :)

  • Nice work, Lotus. Sometimes I take new pictures for the theme (but sometimes weeks in advance), but I rather like trying to find old photos, too. :)

  • I found your blog from an ad on blogher.

    I just wanted to tell you that your interpretation of ‘string’ is great! I love all the Christmas pictures.

    And I agree, it seems everyone is gearing up for the holiday already. There were even Christmas movies on TV yesterday.

  • I love wind chimes. Ding a ling a ling. But… we’ve noticed that if you take a walk at night around our neighborhood and a wind kicks up, wind chimes sound particularly creepy at night. I’ve seen too many scary movies. Heheh.

  • Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas. -smile-

    I like your stringy pumpkin guts!

  • I haven’t start to think much about Christmas although I help with a yard sale and there was some Christmas stuff although I don’t need any.

    My string is up and if you get a chance stop on over.
