Single Frame Stories: Weapon – When She’s Smiling

There is no weapon in the feminine armory to which men are so vulnerable as they are to a smile.
~ Dorothy Dix

I’m not a big weapon person. I learned to shoot a shotgun when I was young because my Dad believed if there was one in the house, we should know how to use it. I never did, beyond my lessons. I don’t role play in Second Life (although I did have a brush once with James Bond and a zombie or two), so my choices were limited for a prop for this week’s Single Frame Stories prompt: Weapon.

So I turned to the best thing I had in my arsenal: my smile 🙂

Single Frame Stories – Hero

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country’s wishes blest! . . . . By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung.
William Collins Quotes , Source: Ode, written in 1746

Thanks to all who have given their service – and their lives – for our freedom. This is my entry for this week’s Single Frame Stories Blog. The prompt is “Hero.”

This photo was taken at the Operation Enduring Freedom Memorial in Second Life. Please visit this memorial dedicated to those who lost their lives in Afghanistan. It is focused on American soldiers, but I consider it a commemoration for all who have fought and died there.

Special thanks to my sweetheart, who not only served, but helped me choose a fitting image for this entry.

The Princess and Her…

Prince? Toad? That’s the question and that’s my quandary for this week’s Single Frame Story. The prompt this week is “watch”. When I posted a photo of this sign on my Facebook page today, a friend decided I HAD to have it in Second Life. So when I logged in tonight, there it was waiting for me 🙂 So I decided to make it a part of my challenge photo this week. Thank you, Stufly! ♥

I took a LOT of shots of this pose. I loved the lighting on this dress with so many different Windlight settings that I just kept switching them and snapping more pictures. Then came the really hard part; selecting one to finish for the blog.

Well, I couldn’t decide (imagine that!). I ended up with two photos using different cropping and different techniques. The theme is identical, though. And I’ll have a hard time choosing one this week. Who knows? I may wimp out and post them both, since I know I can enter more than one 😉

I won’t run a poll this week, but you’re more than welcome – indeed encouraged – to leave a comment on which one you like best!

And now, I’m off to search for my prince…erm…toad…erm…prince…erm…

You get the drift 😉
