With My Guy out on the road this week, I wasn't sure he'd have the opportunity to get a photo this week. But he got home a day earlier than planned and so was able to play with his camera a bit. This week's challenge was on the surface pretty straight foward.
Since we've not had a little one in quite a while, the blow up ballons just aren't as common in our house as they once were. So we all decided to be creative this week and prehaps stretch the meaning just a bit.

| Kate: Glass Ballons |
We'd be more likely to celebrate birthdays now with these ballon shaped wine glasses. It's so hard to get photos of glass without lots of reflections of the light sources, this one worked out pretty well.
My Guy went with a completely different interpretation of the word ballons.

| My Guy: Emotional Support Ballons |
Definitely not what I was expecting. His photo and mine could be the beginning of a theme for this challenge. It's definitely the time of year many of us could use some emotional support for one reason or another.
Grad Girl's photo doesn't really fit that theme.

| Grad Girl: Bulboons |
She's been really busy in the lab the last few weeks trying to get lots done before her holiday break. For any of you that haven't worked in a lab, these are pipette bulbs, or as she's labeled them bulboons, they are used to transfer liquids in the lab. You don't blow these up, but controlling the air in the bulbs allows you to draw up and expell liquids from the glass tubes.
The fun part of running our own challenge is that we can decide what works and what doesn't. This week, we may not have stuck the challenge as closely as could have, but when we have to improvise, I think we get more interesting pictures. I pulled the challenge card for this week.
I'm curious to see what we all come up with this week.
I think all 3 of these photos fits the theme of balloons quite well. The "bulboons" actually look like partially deflated balloons.
ReplyDeleteAll three of the "balloon" photos fit the theme well, and I love your different interpretations. Those wine glasses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing each of your interpretations on the thenpme this week! It's always interesting to see what you come up with. Those are pretty wine glasses! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the glasses! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see your different takes on the prompt. We have those same wine glasses! Barbara at Cat Patches
ReplyDeleteI, too, look forward to seeing how you three meet the challenges. I really identify with Grad Girl's take on bulboons! I worked in an electron microscope laboratory for around 35 years and used those bulbs and pipettes almost every day for processing tissue.I hope she loves her work as much as I did. I am 83 and still miss working with the electron microscope!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge and y'all did a fabulous job of thinking out of the box to fit the theme. How fun!!! I can not wait to see this week's photos. Have a great week, Kate. Hugs.
