 I'm leaving on vacation soon... and I really don't have time for this challenge.

BUT... WHO could resist it??! *grin*

I'd started this scene/image a few months ago... and aborted it because I had water in the frame... and got so frustrated trying to make it flow out of the frame... I just quit.

That is TOTALLY not like me.

But, I was SO frustrated.

So, I saved it with layers... and gave up.


Now, here were are... months later... I am trying to pack for three different climates... leave meals for Hubby to just microwave... and... and... and...

And then this challenge.

THANKS, Langdon! For your sense of humor... and for your gift to us of allowing us to use old images...

And. I've entered.

The only new image is the ship. One of our sons won it in a contest. I used the ship without permission. BUT... he did leave it here. :D

And afterward... I put it back in the exact dust-free outline that I removed it from. :D

I'm not known for my housekeeping skills. *rolleyes*




The chair. I am still undecided about it. It's added to the scene separately... so I could move it and its Lydia-made shadow anywhere I choose in the scene.

I left it there... chopped off... to make more ... uhhh... more... angst in the image. More like the world has tilted off of its axis.

But, I hope peeps don't hate that. It's "iffy", for sure.

The clouds in the frame and spilling onto the floor are from the window of an airplane.

Google tells anyone who wants to know... how to fold a paper boat.

This I know. :D

Happened across this when I noticed the funky ribbon - this was in the middle of my hiatus when DPC apparently broke. Coincidence? :P Congrats on this. Terrific job.

Congratulations Lydia! This is awesome. Thanks for your notes - as entertaining and enlightening as ever. Have a great vacation.

This wasn't shot at 2.30 was it? When my father-in-law passed away, my brother-in-law inquired as to the time. Around 2.30. Aha! He knew it. 2.30 is when the earth shifts on its axis and it's when everything happens. (????)

Nicely imagined and executed. Your persistence paid off. I admire you drive to finish it in the face of mounting other responsibilities. Excellent job, Lydia.

that's a seriously pretty dress in a lovely composition, The sailing ship is the perfect touch.

I thought that this calamity happens because of the stacks of National Goegrapic magazines, actually this is what creates the revolving of the earth; at a spcific time, a few good men push gently but resolutely stacks of NG to create the movement that we know as rotation of earth around the sun. . NOw, of course an unsuspected big malfunction of DPC might create a surplus to the tilting of the axis and at ths point my glass of wine tumbled on the floor.....
