"It's a gift" was this week's challenge.  We were to think beyond the traditional idea of a gift this time of year.  So I say,  it's a gift to live in Kansas where sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. 

Half and half was this week's challenge.  This is a PB & J sandwich before it is folded.  
 

 Our annual assignment of self portrait.  I tried to change it to a pencil drawing in photoshop.  Failed.  So I just submitted it as a B&W.   It was a warm 19 degrees but calm and sunny.

Shadow Play was this week's assignment.  It's been too overcast this week to get good shadows.  So outside was literally out.  Took this one on my sewing table.
