I've been captivated looking at your entries this week. Just as I hoped it would be the offerings were distinctly you....a unique and fascinating look at the world through your eyes. It was fun to have shiny new ways of seeing common objects and situations. As always it was nearly impossible to choose just ten. There really wasn't a photo I didn't think fit the theme perfectly. Thank you all for taking the time from your busy lives to contribute to making this last week of Summer Foto Friday Competition a huge success.
After a good night's sleep I finally was able to narrow the field down to just ten final choices.
As always in no particular order.....
1. Lilly Pond ~ by Mia
2. Raindrops on Roses ~ by Susan
3. Shiny Trombone ~ by Nico
4. Shining From Above ~ by Amalie
5. Shiny Plane ~ by Danni
6. Ice Mountain ~ by Sharon
7. Shiny Textured Glass ~ by Jan
8. Cruise Night Chrome and Shiny Paint ~ Sue Z
9. Shiny Red Ride ~ Marianne
10. Shiny Dinner Catch ~ Shinta
Keeping our cameras ready to capture a lifetime of shiny moments.

Glad the trombone won. It was an excellent picture.
ReplyDeletemy apologies to those that couldn't see my photo - there isn't a medium used to host it. the photo itself is uploaded directly. the original blog is posted:
