July Photo Challenge -Discussion

I didn't try photobucket either, not after what happened to Hex.
Um, I only have a blackberry, so it's not very techy, but it's lavender season, and I love lavender season...
 
I love lavender season, too - we've got one growing outside the front door, and I swear blind it's trying to take over. The smell is lovely every time you brush past it, though.:)

Well, I've posted my second picture. It's just a small spider, only about the size of my thumbnail, and I was glad it stayed still long enough whilst I poked a camera in its face.:)
 
got mine taken, just trying to figure out why they wont post...

EDIT: oh, got it. they were too big apparently.

First time trying this challenge - even managed to put two pics up.

Hope they fit in with the theme...
 
oh nicely done! i tried for nights to get a twinkle twinkle pict. After voting I would love to hear everyone's rhymes, I really find it sad that so many of these delightful little teaching tools have fallen out of circulation.
of course the reason may be that the lesson they are teaching is out of date or fashion... I dont imagine in this day of equality we want to ingrain into our children that there is a socioeconomic hierarchy based on gender and age (The Farmer and the Dell) or that death is an impending game (Ring Around the Rosey) and with all the pressure against video games who could want a reminder of senseless violence (Three Blind Mice)
 
Thanks Hopewrites!

I took a half dozen pics that night but this was the clearest one which had a few seconds long exposure. (The pale band of light at the bottom of the picture was a bus that drove past...)
 
So many of the rhymes involve animals, and they almost all need posing; I suspect I'm out of it for this month. The cat, even offered shrimp, flatly refused to get into the well bucket, the cow couldn't even reach low Earth orbit, Jacques et Giles didn't even get a sprain rolling down the slope and when I found a young lady ready to pose as a beggar in nothing but graffiti would the dogs bark at her? Rushed over and licked her.

Still, I never considered myself much of a photographer at the best of times. I should be able to vote, I hope.

All fall down.
 
Big grin on your rhyme, chrispencate.

This ain't over yet.

A big month for tableaux.... I have one in mind, given the time to set it up and shoot it.

I have ideas... I have a handful of special photographs under-going scrutiny....

When I post my entries... All Hell will break loose.

Especially IF I capture something better.
Or get a better idea.

It's on. Stand By.
 
Alrighty then, I've scrapped the tableau about runcible spoons...

Two days at sea, this week.... (And Salmon on the Barbie)

The three men in a tub speaks for itself

The Edward Lear limerick about pelicans may be stretching the definition of "Nursery rhyme" a bit; but it sounds like one. And I can't help but be kinda proud of how this shot turned out.
 
Just over 24 hours to go, everybody. Get them in.

I should be able to put up a poll at midnight, UK time, tomorrow.
 
Three men in a boat here as well! Talysia's silver bells ran it a close second, though.
 
Thanks for the mention, Hex.:)

There are some great entries this month, but my vote goes to Alex's Three men in a boat, too. Well done everyone!:)
 
I voted for Hoops but Taly's silver bells and Hope's green and yellow basket were close seconds.
 
Hex, who is away in the world without internet, sends lots of incredibly nice thoughts about David Evil Overlord, which seem to boil down to being delighted by the vote. She also says to say thank you. :)
 
I went for Talysia's silver bells and (not quite cockle)shells. :) It was a close run thing, though.

I've realised this month how few nursery rhymes I actually know!
