This week's challenge was back light.  This is our cat, Rex, who likes to sit in the open window. 

 Didn't get last week's photo posted.  The challenge was initially inspired.  Using my initials, VL.  This is a very light feather. 

 Crazy Eights.  If two sides are covered with trees, does it still count as eight?

 Beautiful Bokeh was the challenge.  It's focusing sharply in the foreground and blurring the background.  Really pops the item in the foreground. 

 Body Language was this week's challenge.  These two friends were taking a break.  "I really liked the winning quilt", "I would have used more green", "Will we be able to get up after we are rested?"

 "Upside down" was the challenge.  I stopped in Gardner at the Dairy Queen to get a picture of a blizzard turned upside down.  The clerk was too busy to ask her to take it again, so it's not as crisp as I would like.

The subject for this week was "botanical".  This is our young pear tree's blossoms.  If it makes even half of the blooms, we should get 10 bushels or more. haha.
