I think we all scratched our heads on this one. This one was really hard for me, I had no idea what to photograph. The box from my office was in the way yesterday while I was looking for something else. Maybe there was something in it that would work?

| Kate: Hiding in a Hat Box |
If you are struggling to figure out what's hidden in this hat box here's a hint, remember the Wizard of Oz? Does that help? For some reason my sister over the course of several years gave me many gifts related to those flying monkeys of Oz, including a desk sign that said "I have flying monkeys and I'm not afraid to use them". What that was all about, I have no idea. So not only is the flying monkey hidden, so is the motivation behind the gift. (To be honest I'm not sure I want to know why my dear sister decided I had a thing for this part of the movie).
My Guy went a completely different direction.

Even with all the foliage gone, this nest is hard to see as it blends so well with bare branches. Not sure which bird used this nest that's in the rose bushes in front of the house. We've had both a cardinal and a brown thrasher raise a broad in those bushes.
I wasn't sure Grad Girl was going to have time to get in a post, but she came through with a cute photo.

| Grad Girl: Cat Tails |
Queenie has a silver crinkle toy that she adores and chases it all over the apartment. I'm pretty sure that's what she's looking for under the couch. So a hidden toy and partially hidden kitty, Grad Girl nailed the subject matter again.
This week's challenge may mean a shopping expedition as I'm not sure we have anything around the house that fits the bill.
Next Saturday will be Christmas Eve, so I'm not sure if I'll post next week or if we'll skip a week of the photo challenge. I'm going to try to post, but it will depend heavily on how prepared I am for the holiday.
Love all of your photos this week! That seems like it was a fun topic. As for your sister, and her flying monkey gifts - is she a teacher? I could see a connection between flying monkeys and my classrooms of 5th graders, lol!
ReplyDeleteVery fun photos! I do get a kick out of the flying monkeys! I need to wrap some gifts today too, and get them off the dining room table. Still waiting on a couple of things to arrive, but since the family isn't coming until New Years Day hopefully they'll all be here by then.
ReplyDeleteI so look forward to the photo challenge every week. Youall are so resourceful. Wishing you the happiest of holidays.
ReplyDeleteHaha I would have loved to display the flying monkeys sign! All great photos. My Rosie kitty would have fit in this week. She is often "hidden in plain sight" when I can't find her, and she often thinks she is hidden when part of her is sticking out.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always. Your little hatbox is interesting. Please say more about it.
ReplyDeleteI love your family's photos! I hope you find time for the thrift store. That should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteAll three of you did a great job with this prompt. It would be a hard one for me.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun week of pictures! Hope the final days leading to Christmas are going well for you - I had a big day of shopping with my daughter and think I am almost done! Hope you manage to stay warm in the winter storm! We are expecting a 20+ drop in temps over 2 hours on Thursday afternoon, so trying to get everything wrapped up before that happens!
