Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get away)

April gave us springtime and the Challenge of the Photos.
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in the 2012 Archives.

You took my life for thirty days
You said it'd be fun, you told me we'd share a laugh
That's what you said and I believed it all
Ain't that what you said?!?!
Liars!
Liars!
Liars!

How can Ziva be so heartless?
How can Michael be so cruel?

I'm fairly certain I could manipulate Three Dog Night lyrics for this entire post but to spare you that bit of insanity, I'll just tell you what's going on for the next 30 days.

A crapload of us participated in 30 Days of Photography II back in April. Most of us are just batty enough to sign on for another round during October. The brain-trust of Ziva and Michael played a virtual word-association game and came up with a list of 30 incredibly ludicrous prompts to be interpreted through photography.

Feeling blue because the colder weather is upon us? Having a tough time coping with the ever-decreasing hours of daylight? Need to get out of the same-old, same-old rut of photographing your cute kid(s)/cat(s)/dog(s)? C'mon over to the dark side with us.

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said that ain't no way to have fun

If that subliminal message hasn't deterred you and you're determined to join in this folly, head on over to Ziva's or Michael's place for more information. (Yes, there's still time to join so go to it!)

Without further ado, I give you Day 1: Shiny.

I didn't see that purple flare until I loaded this onto my laptop.
Cool, eh? Hi Dufus, Nicky, and Mike!
