a Leprechaun

So, I was in the cereal isle at Safeway.  I whipped out my camera and snapped this guy’s pic.  A lady about 5 feet away said, “Did you just take a picture of a cereal box?”  I explained.  She said she thought I was “freakin’ brilliant” and she bet no one else would think of that.  I guess she wasn’t in the store when Thom came in.

  1. What an adorable child! And I love the “lacy” interpretation – that is terrific!
    So many wonderful macros in this series, but I might just love the leprechaun best of all. He’s such a cutie. 😛

  2. There are so many beautiful pictures that it is too much for one post ! I already went through Tom’s and I am getting an overdose ! It would have been nice to do one per day. You are very brave to have done it. I didn’t have the courage or patience although I love Melli very much !

    1. Alice — I am not certain I like being accused of cheating. I made one mistake and stretched a couple of concepts — but stretching is what the whole execise was about.

    1. Thom — curly & sad were from my archives. That’s a former student. Lacy I found above the crossroads at the entrance to Kuili’ou’ou Park.

    1. Actually Gigi, I was thinking diamond! But that wasn’t the photo I intended for triangle. I clicked the wrong one and didn’t even realize.

  7. Your pictures were awesome, I think a few took pictures of the Lucky Charms. I see that your soap costs about as much as soap here. Oh your Triangle is actually a square but I’ll let it pass. Oh Killarney is in Ireland so my #106 may have had a Leprechaun on it, Melli let it pass.

  9. Fantastic photos! Who is your adorable little model? And your pork sandwhich recipe sounds yummy. I wrote it down. I just made pulled pork barbeque sandwiches last night. I don’t suppose that recipe would work with leftover barbeque pork? Nah.

  10. Well! I think you take TOP HONORS for your HOLE! That has to be the best hole out there!

    Love your “in flight” — I knew you’d have a good bird shot — that was why I didn’t even GO there!

    And your TWISTED! Oh my goodness! That is AWESOME!

    I want that nutty sandwich! Right now! Yep – for breakfast!

    And I am LAUGHING at the lady in the cereal aisle! She oughta check out the other 15 boxes of Lucky Charms! But that’s where I would have been too had that bus in DC not shown up! I had THOUGHT I could find one at a garden center early in September… but nooooooo… there was lots of cute goofy stuff… but NO leprechauns!

    And you and Thom really are thinkin’ TOO much alike these days — lacy! LOL!

    You did GREAT Quilly!
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..Friday Fave 5 =-.

    1. Melli — I was driving down the street — headed for a patch of Ivy growing on a chainlink fence — for my “lacy” photo when I saw these shoes hanging from the wire. I stopped the car, hopped out right in the middle of the street and snapped 3 photos.

  11. I took a few pictures in W-Mart and was afraid someone would ask me what I was doing! But it would have been a good opportunity to explain what fun can be had blogging.

    LOVE the ones for hole and twisted!! And that’s a great bird shot — hard to take a clear shot of something moving. I love the perspective on the sheet music.

    Re my “soapy” dog, no, it wasn’t just for the picture — she gets baths whether I need a photo or not. 😀 That photo was from years ago and I’ve used it on my blog a few times, so I felt I was taking the easy route there, but it was the best soapy picture I knew of. Though I saw what would have been a GREAT one on Wed. morning — I drove by a crew trying to suck up soap foam out of a public fountain. I started to stop and take a picture, but I didn’t want them to think I did it and was enjoying the fruit of my labor! Even though soaping a fountain sounds like a fun and tempting thing to do, it really does create havoc for the people who own them and have to clean them. But it sure would have made a good picture!

    1. Barbara — I don’t worry about taking photos in the big stores. It is the little boutiques where folks get fussy.

      And I’ve had to clean a soaped fountain it is a pain!

  12. You made it I see.
    I liked the graffiti face peeking behind the weeds, the twisted, the closeup of Lucky Leprechaun, the juicy oranges was my favorite shot.
    Uh, the triangle others mentioned – I see square or diamond – maybe it’s that poetic license thing. 🙂
    .-= Carletta´s last blog ..Weekend Reflections =-.

    1. Carletta – -that graffiti face was a gift. I took a “short cut” which turned out to be a dead end road. This fella was the only occupant of the cul de sac.

  13. Well, you made it, I didn’t. *Bows head in shame.* I would have loved to play, but I had way too much on my plate. I love yours though. “Lacy” is my favorite, I would never have thought of that!

  16. The gummy worm and ice cream look yummy. I just finished eating dinner, and those could be my dessert.
    I LOVE the Something Curly photo! What an adorable doll she is!!!
    Gas pumps in Hawaii look an awful lot like gas pumps in Arkansas.

    🙂
    I hope you enjoy a lovely weekend.

    1. JD — my little model was a former student. She is a cute little button.

      I’d have given you the gummy worm. It was very gummy but not too tasty.

  18. Applause!! what a great photo challenge! love all your shots. I tried to, but these photo challenges are major projects and my blog can’t handle more than 3 pictures in one post, lol.
    Fantastic collection, q!
