OK, these are all a bit of a stretch, bear with me

1. Loss of sight (don't feel too bad, this seal is famous)



#2: Loss of pride (Crow won this battle):



#3: Loss of attention:

Rocks! Rocks! Real, actual rocks that you can climb and repel on! Oh, this is not fair for a climber living in perhaps the flattest state (yes, that's right, I wrote 'flattest') in the country and far, far away from any climbable rocks - Florida :cry

Anyway, here's some ideas (talk about last minute! it might already be too late...):

A repel shot from Svatošské Skály in Czech Republic - Loss of Altitude


Loss of Chlorophyll

Oh, I hear ya Kristin. I grew up in Jacksonville my first 20 years. The highest peice of land was the garbage dump (seriously).

I'm not sure if we are too late or not cause I'm not sure when this challenge ends since there is no June 31st. So I'm assuming it ends on July 1st.

Yeah, I noticed after I posted. Oh well, if I'm DQ'ed, I'm DQ'ed.

And I believe you about the garbage dump! Hopefully I won't be stuck down here forever so I can get out onto real rock more than once a year! Fortunately we do have a good indoor gym

for some of us June 31 is July 1st:D so i would guess your OK

now the hard part is convincing me that its already 2009....

Beginning Of The End



"Gone Are The Leaves"

I find this first picture haunting. I don't know what this man was feeling when I took his picture, but I am always moved by the deep sadness in his expression.



The next two were taken at Pere Lachaise in Paris. This cemetery has some of the most moving monuments to grief that you will find anywhere. A common theme is the so-called, pleureuse - crying woman - used to communicate the pain and loss exerpienced by those left behind.

Good that you said that...

loss of love
well, I did this photo for the other dgrin challenge and it was late, so I noticed this challenge and thought it would fit here. But I didn't have time to reshoot it as someone had suggested, with less of a busy background.

KipCox

Of note...

Being the brilliant calender expert that I am, I posted the end date/time as Wednesday, June 31st at 8:00AM EDT. Obvious to some...not to me...there are 30 days in June.

The ending time has been corrected to July 1st at 8:00AM EDT. Only 9 more hours until the deadline.

Keep up the great posts!

All the rest have 31...

You sound like my wife...right after I told her what I did.

Hmmm...

I was always taught...

if you make a fist, and start with the index knuckle as January, all the knuckles have 31 days and all the "inbetween" the knuckles have less than 31.
