Struttin’ Like A…

I’m not sure if she meant it as a real challenge, but I took Strawberry Singh‘s request to show her mine literally!

Nothing I’m wearing is new. Well, the hair is newish, but as I’ve mentioned before, I have an almost bottomless inventory. So I dug out some of my peacock-proud finery and snapped a few shots.

My outfit is compliments of Gizza (dress – old group gift), Ho Wear (fan), Analog Dog – .b (hair), Magpie* (necklace & earrings) and [MANDALA] (bracelet, rings, nails).

Now, if you’ll excuse me, this peahen sees a peacock with a fine display of plumage and I think his feathers need to be ruffled 😉

PS – I’m dedicating this post to my Second Life mom – a TRUE peacock, in SL and real life! ♥

We Have A Winner!

Well, it’s a good thing we can enter more than one picture into the Single Frame Stories blog challenge…because we had a tie!

Readers were evenly divided between Vanilla Peep and Death by Vanilla. Make sure you check out the Single Frame Stories later to see all of the entries!

I was a bit concerned that Vanilla Peep didn’t really tell a story on its own, so I added some text. I’ve included the updated photo here.

Thanks to all of you who voted. I may try this again since I now know how to do a poll 😀

Weekly Photo Challenge: Future Tense – A Distant Horizon

The Weekly Photo Challenge this week is once again a phoneography challenge. While I do enjoy taking photos with my phone, I can’t say I’ll be unhappy when “Phoneography Month” is over. It’s not my focus for this blog and I don’t feel as comfortable with my photos taken with my Galaxy SIII as I do with shooting pictures in Second Life.

Still, I did say I would attempt to take the challenge each week. The prompt for A Distant Horizon is:

It’s still phoneography month, and in today’s challenge I’m hoping you’ll put all of that futuristic camera tech to good use, by thinking about the shape of things to come.

…In today’s challenge we want you to grab an image from your world that holds the promise or portent of the future.

This challenge is still a good one for me. I decided this week to accept redundancy from my place of work of over 12 years. I’ll be taking a short break before chasing that distant horizon. Somewhere, out there, beyond the Coat Hanger and Opera House, is my future place of employment. My wish is that it is fulfilling and gives me satisfaction.
