COLD DARK ROOM

“High flying” (højtflyvende). Category 1/12.



The category has multiple meanings in Danish (as I was told), including “extravagant” and “overly ambitious”. For this photo, I visited the Eagle, a sculpture in Roskilde Hospital:



A pigeon landed on a lamppost right next to it, so I played with the idea of juxtaposing the two “high fliers”.



The pigeon is completely oblivious to what could have been a dangerous proximity to a real high flier and a bird of prey. [emoji36]

If I did it all over again, I might have submitted the following picture, the “high flying” crow versus a row of ducks.

I’m not too bright when it comes to electrical but we have power from the top left, so like last time we will most likely run extension cords thru pipe and bury it. Unless my husband has another idea.
Does my way make sense?

Yep. That should work.

Thank you for remembering, Mark! Happy belated Orthodox Easter, roommates!

How can you crack such a sweet looking egg? Happy Othodox Easter to everyone too.

 

[CarolM]

Get your stories straight, roommates! Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?? [emoji444]

It WAS me. I just let everybody else take the blame.

Good mornooning all.

It’s a lovely morning, but I shall be shut in a meeting room at a school about 10 miles from here considering the behaviour of a young person and how the school handled it. This is the least savoury side of being a school governor. It’s never easy when this happens

Glad that is not my job.

 

[CarolM]

Good mornooning, roommates!

I ran a half marathon (almost) on Saturday. Plus squats, exercises in patience, display of precision in social skills, orienteering, and significant brainwork... A photo marathon in other words. I literally walked 17 kilometers (10.6 miles) and did all of the above things.

Result:

1. I did it!!! [emoji123] So proud of myself, and suffering from muscle ache.

2. First place in one of the 12 categories. Will share my pictures soon.

Those are all fantastic pictures. And you deserved 1st place in the category.

Found them.

Cold start to our morning, between 0 and 5 C (32-40F) in the region with frost in some of the colder areas. But, once the sun pops out, it should warm up and be a great Spring day.

I have more grass to cut today and always have tree limbs to shred and clear. Always something to work on.

Nope. That’s not the winning one. It would be 9/12 or 10/12. I’m just posting them all in order.

Might have had better chances with the fourth photo but I had to make a quick decision and submit only one picture per category. The winner also had a bird on her photo.

Das ist fantastisch... [emoji33][emoji23]

@Bee62, wo bist du?

Here I am .... Not far away. I am wishing all my friends a good Monday.

I have 4 kids. 30yr Step daughter twins that I met when they were 6.
Our two 15 & 13.

2legged, 4 legged, shelled, etc.... [emoji12] I’d be Mom of too many

 

[EllieMay]

There’s a few helicopters flying around here for the shooting vigil the community is holding tonight.
It’s still a shock this happened here.

Praying for all the families impacted. I can’t imagine the worry you must go through being so near... I’m sorry Kathy!

 

[EllieMay]

I love the toenail polish matching the boat color! But he’s a bit young for pedicures, no? [emoji53]

Never too young for Good hygiene and a bit of pampering.... luckily, he didn’t pick a color so those are my little piggies
