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.

 "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. 
 

 Colors of November.  Yesterday, we had an unusual snow for Kansas.  There wasn't any wind and the snow stuck to everything.  We had 7".  I used this photo in my class because of the contrast. 

 The challenge was "purple please".  This is grape jello in a glass bowel over my light table.  I broke my good leaded cut glass bowl trying to mix the jello in it.  Apparently, it can't stand hot.  I mixed the jello and let it cool before I put it in this bowl.
