Wow, this photo association thread has really taken off.

Some observations/suggestions to keep it manageable:

1) time limit, like one chain per day/week
2) couple of words explaining the association (as in the current thread some of them I am lost)

Fun thread though ;=)

    XO,

    i like the "no words" bit - letting the photos speak for themselves..
    as to the odd disjoint - i betcha it happens when multiple people post at the same time... say i respond with a reply to your "black" with my "white" - but i get a phone call before hitting "post"... and then humungus responds to your black with some nightshot of a cemetary (he has 'em!)... then i hit "post" ... well, my "white" won't make sense anymore now, will it...

    dunno if there's any way 'round this... ear.gif

    oops, I didn't notice that "rule" in the first post of the game. I'm guilty. . .:uhoh

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Well-- at this rate, we just might beat them. Seventy Four replies in just 3 days? Simple arithmetic.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    The enthusiasm is overwhelming and it is really great to see. Hope we keep the momentum.<o:p></o:p>

    I am busy sorting out my photos on Smugmug for easy access in this thing. It has gotten me to do that, needed to for a long time. Or I have done it partially.

    ginger (Then there are those I had to work up from recent photos, fast, like the TV and the dog...................been busy with this all day. It is addictive.)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I always hit refresh before posting mine to make sure someone else hasn't posted already.

    I have participated in these before and usually the same person can't post twice in a row. That way to give others the chance.
