Click on the pic above to go to the official site and see all participants.

I'm a bit late, I thought they were supposed to be POSTED on May 1, but anyways.  oh except now it's May 2 because it's after 12am...LOL.  Better late than never, I guess.  Oh yeah, and April was more of a killer month than I thought it was going to be, so there are a few missing shots because I didn't have time to go back and check the list, I just went from memory.  Oh well.  It is what it is.  And it was fun to look for the ones I remembered. 

1. Cool or interesting architecture
Building we passed when we were exploring Greenville last weekend.  Don't have a clue what it was, but thought it was funky enough to snap a picture as we drove by...*grin*

2. A sign of Spring:
Rose of Sharon getting green leaves on it.  This came from my grandma's house in NY.  And hallelujah.  It liveth.  I didn't kill it after all.

13. A mosaic or mural - didn't get this one either

14. Rain
Okay, I know this isn't rain, but it is water and it's on the windshield...and it looks cool...LOL.  So what if it is just us coming out of the car wash.

15. Classic car (1970 or older)
No clue what kind of car that little red thing is, but it looks older than 1970 to me...passed it on the highway.

16. A work of art
Munchkin's dollhouse...LOL.  This is the kitchen...scrapbook paper for wallpaper, ribbon for a border, paint on the bottom half, and wood contact paper for hardwood floors.  Yes, a work of art...LOL!

24. A shot from an unusual perspective

25. Flowers
Cut flowers from the neighbor's yard....*grin*  And no, I didn't just help myself....she told me to come cut some.  *smiles*  Did you know that purple irises leave purple stains on things as they start wilting up?  I'm not sure how I would know that...except maybe for the fact that my fingers may still yet contain a hint of purple.

  9. I love your shot inside the car wash. And the red thingie is a VW Karmann Ghia... possibly pre-1970, but judging from the bumper I'd guess early 70's. It looks like the 5mph impact bumper mandated in 1973 or 74 (I think). The Ghia was VW's entry into the "sporty" models, though it was the same chassis, drivetrain, and rolling stock as the Beetle. Only the sheet metal was different.
