The Result: Pretty Purple Poultry Pen

Our son, Steven, presented me with the gift of this Pretty Purple Poultry Pen!! He handed it to me saying "I saw this in a store today, and it reminded me of you!" ROFLMAO !!!!

The pen stands upright in its little stand inbetween uses.

The first of my Daffodils had opened on this particular morning, so when I was inspired to photograph the 'pen' , my creative side suggested I combine the two subject matters for the contrasting color coordination.

I did use a different image from this 'photo shoot' as a DP late in February. However, being given 'Pen' as the Challenge, I chose to share this subject matter again because it's so damn cute and unique!!

The Result: The Lone Soldier

In my DP for yesterday, I mentioned "Take note of the reddish-colored, bare promontory"; in this image, we are now standing on top and towards the highest part of that bare 'dome'!

With absolutely no other growth nearby, this "Lone Soldier" is proud and stately. Quite a unique tree and is rooted precariously close to the drop-off edge, and that is one heck of a drop!

Please reference here for a different perspective of this bare dome area. And if you really look, you will notice this tree at the highest part of the dome, in the middle!

After I took this shot, I turned to my right and this magnificient scene was greeting us!
