[quote=mgstrawn]Welcome to Day 357 of the Daily Challenge. Today's challenge is 'A Picture Tells a Thousand Words.' Show us your photos that tell a special story, or spoke to you through raw emotion. I can't wait to see your creative responses!

I received a call one afternoon from the director of Cheshire's Art's Place. She asked if I would be willing to allow our dogs to participate in a photo shoot for a children's historical book! Wow, I was so surprised and excited to have the honor. The following pictures were take by myself or Bill during several photo shoots that ensued. The book is in it's final stages as we speak. There will also be an oil painting- hung in the famous artist's original home in the center of town. John Frederick Kensett was his name. http://www.ask.com/wiki/John_Frederick_Kensett?o=3986&qsrc=999

Great call today. Since I have my halls already stuffed, (only the boned turkey left to stuff with a boned duck stuffed with a boned quail with a gold wrapped quails egg (Ssshh.. that's the surprize!) and all is calm, all is bright and am then I am ready for Santa.) and no driveway to free from snow either.....Probably the only UHH reader with time to blather on today! Shame every one else too busy to read my sterling sentences....! Every pic is at least a 1000 words. Even, or perhaps especially if it is less than perfect. The story still gets told. Am also keen on pictures that tell stories because of the words of letters threin. Hemingway was once asked if he could write a novel in six words. Took him less than a blink of an eye. Anyway dear other unbusy person, and the rest of you,Happy Holidays. Cheers! Modest.

It is incredibly cold today in Georgia, USA, with a bitter wind that can take your breath away and also threatens to blow cars right off the interstate. I wasn't able to shoot many fresh new photos today. I also won't be available to comment until very late. I wish you all a great Saturday, and for those of you who still have shopping to do, stay safe and warm!

I wrote this last night.. I don't know where it came from, it just came out:

Letting go
the the light unknown
it beckons me
Into the night
there is no fright
The starlit night comforts me
Letting go
there is no pain
a journey of delight
I ride the rain
I touch the clouds
I hear the angels voices sing
Letting go
my life's here no more
but I'm always by your side
Hold my hand
I'm letting go
my memory's all that remains


beautiful :-(

Maybe not quite a thousand, but certainly some stories. We had a good friend in Chicago who had a quite doll house made and it sat in her den. Over the years she added various items of furniture and a family. She made up stories about what had happened to the family on a weekly basis and everyone who came to visit was treated to all the news. We moved away to another city, but made one last visit. She advised that the husband had run away with the maid who was Sophia Loren's cousin, and left his wife and 2 kids behind, still sobbing. I wish I had a photo of the doll house, but I had not taken up photography at that time. I can have a question about the story with these photos, just make up your own.

Sorry about the misplaced words, but you all will get the meaning anyway.

We live in maple sugar country and come spring it takes over and is the official opening day of spring. In some areas you meet up with someone and instead of asking how you are doing, they'll ask if we think the trees will run today or did you boil over the weekend or how's your season going.

It is a way of life and I had my own small sugar house for 20 years and now, retired from it, my pod and I cruise the other sugarers and we'll stop by and even if we do not know the people, there is always a warm welcome and we can yak for long periods of time and sometimes even give them a hand.

Great stories there MG. Thanks.

Granddaughter had a birthday not long ago...

SO happy, it's the exact one I emailed to grandma from the Justice Catalog.

I'm still doing double takes on your avatar, but I checked my closet and I don't have a shirt like that.
