Whee! Drawing round coming up...

· on To the Left
But to the right on the way back!

I like the shadows and the way you can't actually see the light source.

· on Awakening Dragons
That's a rather tall free-standing dead tree. Or maybe a disused utility pole? It does rather look like a dragon, even with suggestion of a wings and tail. Pretty cool to spot that.

· on Yet it still moves...
I'm not sure what I'm looking at. A vaguely defined creature trying to get up after an injury? The vagueness would help it as a prompt, since it could be interpreted a lot of ways.

· on Still Standing
Hm, this makes me wonder about the situation itself. Why is one flag badly faded? And why does it seem to be trimmed down to mostly the stars? The title can refer to the guy holding the flags, the fact that this very worn flag is still there, the old fort in the background... oh, I see that flag is stylized, with an image of part of the US flag over some text from the Constitution. Yes, one hopes the Constitution is still standing, despite continuing efforts to do otherwise...

I like how weird this looks out of context. Presumably the space down near the ground has lots of other exhibits, but as framed, there's just this metal construction with a random dinosaur that doesn't even seem to fit well there. It's overwhelmed by the space, the color doesn't pop against the background, and it just looks out of place. But then the building itself looks kind of old as well, so there's this unadorned aged skeleton of a structure holding up an unadorned aged skeleton of a dinosaur. It makes an interesting thematic statement.

What first strikes me is the way there's a row of concrete or brick that would divide the flowerbed from the grass, but the grass doesn't respect the boundary and comes over it. This is the eternal struggle I have at keeping the stupid grass out of my flowerbeds. I don't know enough about palms to realize what is actually happening here. Is a single palm being split? Is it just a couple being transplanted? Or I guess these may not be palms, since you probably wouldn't plant one that close to a house. I'm not sure I want to know about the "quality lubricants."

· on Wounded Warrior
Took me a second to find the wound. Was the deer that tame, or was the photo taken with one of those motion-triggered nature cameras? I've lived around deer long enough to know how colossally stupid they are, but he looks rather majestic.
