The eyes have it.  That was the challenge.  Rex wouldn't look at me with the phone and Cookies eyes turned red.  So I took a hook and eye on the barn door.

 What is it was this week's challenge.  Dennis wanted me to use these cow kickers.  Most everyone in our area would know what they are.  But since Ricky's students are from all over the world, they might not know.

 "Rock Steady" we were to use the lyrics to this song to inspire a photo.  This church at Maple Hill, Ks was built in 1905.  It still stands and is used, so I figure it's pretty rock steady.

 "Time" was the challenge for this week.  I chose Jim Croce's "Time in a bottle".

 Word Smash was the challenge.  Two words used together.  Mine is pancake, not Mickey Mouse.

 The challenge was "Rhymes with Teak".  So I say leak rhymes with teak.  I had to take dozens of photos before I was quick enough to get the water drop just coming out of the faucet.  Glad to have a digital SLR so I could delete the unusable photos.

 The challenge was delicate.  I've done this before but in warmer weather.  It was so cold, the bubbles burst almost instantly.  After a little while my camera quit working because of the cold.  I had to tuck it inside my coat to try o keep it a little warmer.  I was lucky to get this one photo.
