3x2

Needles

There’s something about the simplicity of a monochromatic image that I find appealing.  Like this one, it’s green.  Yes, there are a few other colors in there, but the bulk of it is green.  And yet it doesn’t seem to me that it really needs any other color.

Miracle

For this post, we’re going to play a game. See if you can guess what the miracle is by the end of the post.

It’s not that she hit a last second shot. This was pretty early in the game, and not even the shot clock was running low.

It’s not that she actually hit the shot. I honestly don’t remember if she did or not. But she usually does.

It’s not that there were people at the game. I can’t see one fan in this shot.

It’s not that the team went on to win. The women’s team has been doing that a lot this year.

Nope, the miracle is that I didn’t get her with her elbows in front of her face. It’s the first time I’ve been able to do that. Ever.

Shark Week As Hell

I don’t quite understand the title, but that’s what this guy said when he saw the photo. I’ve heard there’s a story behind the saying, but I haven’t heard the story.

Finished

I ran cross country in high school. So I know that people who do this have to be a bit crazy. But not even I was crazy enough to run while going to college.

Confused Head Tilt

I know, this is almost the same shot as one of the previous posts. But I think the head tilt makes this one better.

I think he was trying to figure out what that weird thing in front of my face was.
