For the last three weekends while working on #9, I needed sun. Clear. Pretty skies. Had to go out of state to find one of those!

This week, for #10, I want some fog or mist, and what's the expectation? A couple of rainy days followed by CLEAR SUNNY SKIES at the weekend.

It's a conspiracy ;)

    I am totally with you! I have seen some fantastic dusk/dawn settings over the last few days. I almost always reach for my camera but then I remember that #9 is done! haha

    Hmmmm... on the one hand, the Darwin awards would make us famous...

    But, on the other hand, we might miss the volcanic eruption with the electrical storm... and the hedgehog would be let loose on an unsuspecting world...

    Ok, I have to ask... WHAT is with the hedgehog jokes? (yes, I saw the link but it doesn't actually explain the hedgehog, simply alludes to it).

    Now, who's got a hedgehog at a funeral (wrapped in ethereal gauze, of course)? Ah, I can see it now....... rolleyes1.gif

    I think from now on entries need to be like Hirschfeld cartoons and wil have to have hedgehogs hidden somewhere in every image....

    I have been putting a couple of hours in a week on this photo, but it takes a lot of time. Every time I toss a dog or cat off the roof for the photo, they run off never to come back again. Many of the shots are out of focus so I can't use them. Do you know how hard it is to catch a wild cat? Ran out of neighbor's cats already. Rumors have started in my neighborhood. But the photo is coming. Should be done by Christmas. Oh, and I have a new lighting technique for the shot. I built a firepit at the base of my house. I put a ring of fire in it and shoot from the middle of the fire. Looks a lot like a ring light effect. You should see the cool effect in the cat and dog's eyes. Here is a sample.

    And you won't believe this, but I swear I saw a hedgehog out there the other evening when I couldn't sleep. It's coming together.
