The Daily Post: It’s Fresh and Exciting

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Fresh.”

The challenge is to find something FRESH today. I thought about bringing out pictures of this year’s fresh fallen snow; But honestly snow is not making me feel very fresh these days, just tired; So I decided to go with a fresh spring motif

Oh! I am longing for these days!

Plastic World

050714  black and white (4)

This week Cee has challenged us to display blacks and whites of bits of plastics. Not to hard since much of our world is made of plastic these days. I thought of taking a photo of a container of Cool Whip. I just love my edible plastics. Instead I went for plastic things displayed at our town’s Fall Fest.

You can see how others met the challenge at

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Things Made Out of Plastic

Here is what I came up with:

Just about everything in this picture is plastic except the trees, the grass, and the woman.

This plastic choo! choo! is treated with an Infrared filter but I thought it was cooler than the B&W filter.
