(152,299 posts)I took this photo in Paris several years ago. It looks like it's B&W, even though it's not. I'd seen this clock on previous trips and wanted to capture it digitally.
Thanks for getting these threads up nice and early, dear Mira! I have a busy day ahead, and I wanted to post my photo early on, before all that happens!

(22,482 posts)I'm going through my archives, and suddenly all I see is shadows or ways to interpret this theme. Still looking for more, and having fun.

(2,166 posts)the moon wore Venus, Mars, and Saturn as a crown of jewels. I HONESTLY didn't even know this until i Googled the date (I was trying to figure out what the light green blob was to the upper left).

(2,166 posts)Having been a lurker here on DU (relatively) since around 2001 (when a BartCop link first guided me here), you're somewhat of a celebrity to me. Love your posts and photography! Glad I could contribute. I think I'll stick around. 😊

(93,070 posts)I have been debating with myself for days about which of seven pictures I could think of, immediately, and came up with the one I posted but I still am not sure I want to use that one.

(121,210 posts)Technically, a bobcat is a lynx, hence the title.
Or, on reflection, that might actually be a Canada lynx - I don't remember now. The paws are pretty big.
Mira
(22,482 posts)This is filling up beautifully with a wide variety of interpretations. I am thrilled. We will have the last 6 soon, I'm certain.

(3,574 posts)Here are the two photos I thought about entering. I choose "Just Before Dawn." What do you think? Did I pick the right one? "Moonshadows" is a beautiful shot, but I think it's too small.

Mira
(22,482 posts)and it is still there.
To self delete you have to go to edit and then delete it. Please don't though. I don't want to undo some of my work for the submission threads.
I will check again later before I finalize things tomorrow.
