Tagged by Quilly

Today, among other things, I am reading some back posts on Quintessentially Quilly. You see, Quilly is away on holidays and I want to know where she went and what she's up to... yup, gonna be nosy. Haha. Besides that, I also want to catch up on some reading at Thom's Place 4 Well Whatever... and a few other great blogs. So.... I go back a bit at Quilly's blog and I find a meme challenge, posted June 15, that I didn't even know was there. Far be it from me to fail to participate in a challenge. Late I may be, though not show up? NOT. Here it is:

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it:

1) Go to your photo files…Select the 6th photo folder
2) Select the 6th photo in that folder
3) Post that photo along with the story behind it.
4) Then challenge 6 blog friends to do the same!


Since I am on the Acer I don't have many photos, just the 2009 file. On the HP I have back to 2003. Therefor things would be much different with that computer. Anyway, the 6th folder in the 2009 file is "Experiments" in other words, photos that didn't turn out the way I had in mind when I was trying something new.

Here is the 6th photo in "Experiments". I took it January 18, 2009. I shot out through the laundry room window at icicles hanging down. Obviously the focus was more on the yard than on the icicles here. So much for 'auto focus' camera.


Here is another shot to show you what I was shooting at. The roof is a steep metal roof, and the snow always hangs way out off the edge for some time, then finally there will be a big crashing sound as tons of snow fall to the ground. Well, maybe not tons, but a LOT. The first winter I had this roof on, it scared the sh.... ummmmmm, it was rather startling every time this happened.

Now I'm supposed to tag 6 blog friends. Well, since it's been over 2 weeks since I was tagged, I believe the statute of limitations has expired on this requirement... so I leave it up to you. This is a fun meme, so if you would like to play along, "just do it" and let me know so I can come by and see... and I will post your link so others can also come look.

Hi, Alice! I'm late, but I found it! (Just got in from camping.) I like that you showed less than perfect photos -- and I am so glad I can choose auto or manual focus on my camera!
