Photo Challenge Day 30: Dross

I'm sure these nails were useful at some point, but now they seem to be at their end. They totally stabbed me in the back when I sat down.

With a gun, bullets are terrific! Without one... well, it's kind of useless.

These live everywhere in this rural place.

Also, in this rural place, lives barbed wire. EVERYWHERE.

Photo Challenge Day 28: Vast

When I hear the word "vast" I think one of two things depending on the situation; first; pirates...you know, "A-vast ye!" Second, the sky. Then today, I thought of plants: 

My mom said something to me once that went along the lines of, "You know, God could have made one all-purpose tree, but he didn't...He was a creator!" He created beauty. You can see a "vast" amount of plants in the above photo.

The sky. Definitely vast.

The sky, with a vast amount of cows.

Photo Challenge Day 27: Bifurcate

Technically, the log isn't really divided into two, but the reflection makes it look like it is!

This beautiful trail was divided in two by this wonderful bridge.

Photo Challenge Day 26: Sparkling

A macro, out-of-focus shot of my glitter nail polish. Stuff is a killer to get off! Love the way the light reflects rainbows. 

Also, this: 

An old pic, and not as sparkly as you might expect, but I think it goes along with today's challenge.

Glitter really isn't my thing, but I love peacock feathers and I thought to myself "Self, shiny feathers are close enough to 'sparkling.'"

Photo Challenge Day 25: Multifarious

I'm fairly positive that a piano is one of the most complicated instruments in the entire universe. So. Many. Parts!

Photo by Alisha Galbraith

I don't even know how watches are made, or work. Needless to say, there are plenty of parts.

Photo Challenge Day 24: Hirsute

Piglets at my parents. So cute. Until they grow up. Kind of like babies. Just kidding!!

Photo by Alisha Galbraith

I was just taking a walk, minding my own business, and I see this bumble bee. Of course, I wanted to see how close I could get to it before it attacked me, but instead it graciously posed for me.

Photo Challenge Day 23: Musical

Once upon a time I used to play this thing. :)

    I've never played the trumpet, but it's by far, one of my favorite instruments to look at

Photo Challenge Day 22: Old Fashioned

We moved Day 22's word "Old Fashioned" to today because our sister got married yesterday! Congratulations to Leila and Sky!

Love!

Now, Old Fashioned.

The rose is 35 million years old. Who knew?!

Photo Challenge Day 21: Locomotion

Remember the good ol' days when we rode horses to get places? Neither do I. But I would like to! I think horses are more of a hobby now than a necessity. This one had a blue eye! Totally made my heart jump when it looked at me.

Locomotion - The act of moving from place to place. Birds are a perfect example from moving place to place.

Twin Castles

Bold Board 

This is a Guatemalan chess set, that was a gift, from my Grandma and Grandpa. One of my most valued possessions. The top picture is of two castles, the bottom picture is of the board itself.

Photo Challenge Day 15: Cold

This is an older picture I took. Now, an old, broken down house is not something I would think of as "cold" right off the bat...but the colors, the disarray give a feeling of abandonment and chaos. Cold, by one definition is "not affectionate, cordial, or friendly; unresponsive", which I think describes this picture in a new light.

Frozen

On a hot day, this will do the trick.
