The 50th week was self portrait.  I forgot to post it to the blog.  It's certainly not my favorite challenge, but here it is.  Several friends mentioned that I was trying to be Mother Nature.  No, I was just trying to hide.  

 Seasonal sensations was our assignment.  I tried to get a good photo of a poinsettia but that failed.  So went out in the front yard at night and took a picture of our tree in the bay window.  Finally got one after much frustration with "bulb", "ISO" and remote shutter release.  

 The weekly challenge was Introspective.  Dennis was the guinea pig again this week and stood out in the freezing rain at Pomona Lake for me to get this photo.  Then I turned it to black and white to add drama.  

 The theme for the photo challenge this week is Movie Quote.  Dennis suggested this one so he had to help since he opened his mouth.  It's from Dirty Harry.  "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

 The challenge was "Thankful for..."   Thankful for each new morning.  

 Guilty Pleasures was the theme for this week.  This is the only time of year to get Dark chocolate covered cherries.  My friend texted me when she found the first of them.  I'm taking advantage. 

 The challenge was "what is it".  These are the string heddles (needles) on my weaving loom.  My other loom has metal heddles.  But string are supposed to be easier on the yarn.
