Round Robin Photo Challenge

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Saturday, January 24, 2009


The current challenge is "Not Of This Season." The idea is to shoot something out of season.

I suppose I could have dug a white purse out of the closet, but I decided to go outdoors to shoot some pictures. Friday happened to be an unseasonably warm day, with high temperatures nearing 80F. Of course, weather like this in the winter means a cold front is on the way. Saturday will be about thirty degrees cooler than Friday, with a brisk wind out of the north.

While we've had a couple of hard freezes, it hasn't been enough to make some of the plants think it's winter. Witness the dandelion:

Winter Dandelion

I also found a small tree thinking about producing a few shoots:

What a nice blog!  I think when I am finished checking everyone out in the challenge I might take a walk thru the mud in the backyard to see if we have any early risers/bloomers.

Very nice pictures -- you remind me that I saw a dandelion in my back yard the other day, but it hadn't blossomed out this prettily.

What an outstanding dandelion photo! (The other one is great, too, but the dandelion is exceptionally detailed and crisp.)
