[Diamond Lil]

Thanks for voting in the poll and picking our winner for the coming week. Our theme for the week May 9 - 15, 2010 is

Subjects or Items That are Normally Insignificant

There is a world full of insignificance out there people. What will you find interesting?



Remember, at any time you can submit an idea and it will be added to the Theme of The Week Brainstorm List (http://www.moviephotoforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=448).

Here is one for Ed as he made our first manhole photograph.
I was stopped on the road for a short moment and looked over only to
see a manhole and thought nothing of it at first, but then the weekly
theme crossed my mind and it seemed to be a perfect fit.

Excellent additions to the thread everyone.

PS
Vanessa, that makes me laugh too! It is live, right?

[Bluesbird]

It is live, Lil. It was her 1st shower in my house on a newly rigged perch that fit over the shower head and I was NOT trying for this shot. I wanted pretty wings spread but got tail in the face instead. I am no sure I could even have planned this one. Not sure it really fits the theme perfectly but its all I had. Need to get out and shoot insignificant stuff!

[Diamond Lil]

The unplanned can turn out to be the best.


Mike, very creative with the switches. Well done.

[pegdragger]

There are some great submissions here!

You guys are a riot! I have to figure out the Smilies now!

[Diamond Lil]

We try to have fun Vanessa.

God bless you Lil!:paper:
Why, thank you so much.

Nick and I took a walk at Dorflingers yesterday and I found a few insignificant things to share along the way...

and found a small pool of water with these guys inside. They look like they are on the surface, but they were actually at least a foot below...

Cool shot of the Fiddlehead Fern Erin
nice clear pond water for your tadpole snaps

[Diamond Lil]

Cool additions ladies!

Erin, the fern is very nice. I love your subject choices! We have that little pale flower around here too. No idea what it is though.

[Diamond Lil]

PS

It is GREAT to see Nick up and round on a hike/walk no less!

[echo3]

Thanks girls!!
LT, I love that birdbath. I had a nice lighthouse one but Molly accidentally broke it last year.
She cried and cried because she felt so bad. We tried to find one this year so Nick could have her give it to me for mom's day, but they were all so ugly.
Lil, Nick is doing really good, it still hurts a lot, but as you can see, he isn't letting it stop him.
I think he is pushing it a little, but it doesn't seem to be doing any harm and the therapist said he is way ahead of schedule.
He is talking about riding soon....thank God for the cold and the rain (and snow)!!;)

[Diamond Lil]

Fingers are crossed, good thoughts and prayers are all behind you both!

So, does that mean folks will be headed this way for a photo meet?

[echo3]

We are definitely game....looking forward to it! Do you have a weekend in mind????

[Diamond Lil]

I do not. There was one mentioned earlier, but I don't know what is on anyone's mind.

[echo3]

Ed?????
I know Ed was thiking, I believe, the 2nd weekend in June, I know he was hoping to do it during his Americade trip.
Judging by how quickly Nick is healing, that should be okay for us if it is good for you.
I'm not sure who else is interested, but we are flexible right now on weekends as long as it is not earlier than that....

I might have to do some weekend swapping, but we might be game...

[Diamond Lil]

Looking good!

[echo3]

I hope to see you and Rose again Michael. Is Rose still on vacation...I am so jealous!! ;)

[echo3]

Okay, rained in again, so it is plants or birds from my deck...
I took this picture of this thingy on a tree over the deck.
I don't know what kind of tree it is exactly, or what the heck this thingy is (they puff up in the rain), so it can't be too significant...:rolleyes:

Looks like some sort of fungus....odd.

[LunaTique]

It looks like a cedar tree with Apple Rust or Invasian of the Mighty Orange Tendril Monsters :rofl:

I believe it is harmless to cedar trees

Erin, she is back from vacation.

[echo3]

OH NO.....not the Mighty Orange Tendril Monsters!!!:rofl:

How did I miss these! We need them so much sometimes! Good one Lori.

[LunaTique]

Thanks Lil
Thanks Erin

[pegdragger]

Loving the raindrops LT!

[Kodatech]

That last one is great Luna!

[Heavens Thunder]

http://www.moviephotoforums.com/photopost/data/500/medium/beachl_126.jpg Sea shells in the sand on a beach that we pass bye all the time at water front.

[Diamond Lil]

Poor little ole seashells. Oh, wait a minute! Now you have made them significant.

[echo3]

I love seashells by the seashore!!http://bestsmileys.com/love1/7.gif

[Heavens Thunder]

http://www.moviephotoforums.com/photopost/data/500/medium/beachl_131.jpg Beaches to a personel who see them all the time just drives bye and then to go and relax in the sand and not cost a thing but your time. So cool to see people and little kids play in the sand all day and be so peaceiful.

[LunaTique]

Searching for perfect seashells :thumbsup


Loving the raindrops LT!


That last one is great Luna!

Thank you both I would maybe have over looked this opportunity if the sun did not hit the drops just right catching my eye at what looked like little glass pepples on the leaves

I have to admit the drip was a bonus. I got lucky again :D

[Bluesbird]

I know I am a little late but I had this one to add. Actually I am not so sure it is insignificant to dogs or if your house was on fire but it certainly is not something I usually photograph.:)

[echo3]

Nice hydrant Bluesbird....and you're never too late, these threads are always open!:):):)

[Diamond Lil]

insignificant until you need one, dog or human. Good addition Vanessa.

[Heavens Thunder]

Great Shot of the Fire hyrant with Cool Colors Bluebird. Vanessa that is a rare catch to find.

[Bluesbird]

Thanks. I thought the colors were pretty outstanding!
