Thursday is our regular day to deliver eggs to the brewery. Fortunately there was a high school game and everyone was asked to wear pink to the game instead of the school colors. I don't DO pink so I was glad to see Tom Gifford there to take a picture of.

October is breast cancer awareness month. Make a photo of something pink to support the cause.

I wanted to go over to a friends house and photograph some forge welding or blacksmithing but never got the chance. So this dragon is something that might have used fire at one time. It's a stuffed knitted toy a friend made for us.

Fire is dramatic, as it its effect. Make a picture of a flame or something changed by fire or flame. (@btusdin)

Most bathrooms seem cold and sterile. I love our downstairs bathroom with its cedar shower stall.
