The title of your image is totally up to you (maximum four words)


If your image makes us think of Dr. Seuss or one of his books then you are on your way to Solla Sollew.

I thought I would cast my husband as Bartholomew Cubbins as inThe 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, but he wouldn't cooperate. I couldn't think of a way to illustrate And to Think that I saw it on Mulberry Street. (These last two are the early Seuss books which you guys probably don't even know or remember but they were the Dr Seuss books of my childhood). So then there was the Cat in the Hat, but the cat wouldn't cooperate either, and my husband wouldn't hold him still so I could put a hat on him.

Oh well..

Maybe you need to do some "foot" work.... or maybe run to the zoo ??? Or find a fish? Oh how I wish I could find a fish. Maybe a dish with some ham or eggs? Or maybe we are just digging for dregs?
Maybe a sock or two? Maybe that will do?
I want you go now, Just go now! To find 30 tigers to lick, but don't get sick or you might get the sneeches.

I thought about the zoo,
for Horton Hears a Who.
But the closest zoo is in D.C.
and that is WAY too far for ME.

I have my Title! And I hope to have the photo work out....it's a one shot, already too late to replicate, and couldn't get the model I wanted kind of deal..... I LOVE the title, I hope I can make my image live up to it!

I entered my photo, and then typed a comment. I meant for it to be for the photo, but accidentally made it gallery. Can anyone go back in and remove the gallery-wide comment? Sorry about that!

Done

I'm disappointed there are not more entries with only a few hours left to submit. It was a great contest idea, the ones that have been put up have been good and fun to follow. Hope lots are waiting to the last minute to submit.

I am also disappointed. I haven't had time to participate in the last several months, but I still enjoy looking at what everyone else comes up with. I thought this one would generate a lot of interesting images, but there is only a few.

Unfortunately, my idea fell through when the trip to the Dallas Arboretum I had planned for today fell through. It probably would have been tricky to get home and get things processed in time anyway. I need to learn to have a back up plan I suppose...

There is a Chihuly Art sculpture exhibit there right now. I was there on the 21st and the it was the first thing I thought of when the challenge was posted. I still hadn't come up with a name, but hoped it would come to me. Chihuly certainly feels very Seuss-like!

A couple of examples:


and the gallery is here, mostly just fun shots, but there are a few in there I am pretty happy with. I am determined to get back this week and hoping that the leaves are still on the trees for me. I wanted to re-shoot the first shot in the gallery after the maple leaves turned red.

I am so glad I checked this evening - I was thinking the challenge ended next Monday! I was all ready to go into work tomorrow & get a shot of a kitten in a mitten for this challenge; oh well. At least I caught a shot last week while I was reworking some horse costumes or I wouldn't have anything for this challenge. Great theme, just a busy time!

Those are great shots Donna - I love Chihuly!! Hope you go ahead & enter one, they do seem Seuss-ish, especially with the right title. (ok, nevermind, just realized they are out of the time frame)

Thanks, I wish I could! Yes, these were taken outside of the challenge dates. If the person I was going with hadn't backed out today, I would have had sometime to use.

Chilhuly is also on exhibit here in VA till February, but I haven't headed over there yet. Thankfully, the quilt show actually provided me a great subject, although fleeting as it was on public display at the show.... Because the name Gert in a Yurt (which SEEMED very like a Suess title!!) ---just came into my head when I saw it, and then I had to hunt down a subject!!
