Many thanks to Belita for hosting this week's challenge. A really good theme, open to lots of different interpretations!!
1) Once upon a time.......this was only three feet deep!!
2) Once upon a time......there was chipmunk who wanted to be a boxer.
3) Once upon a time......these were just tiny seeds.
4) Once upon a time........these guys ruled the world.
LOL fabulous takes on the theme Mitch the chipmunk and TRex made me laugh out loud, I love the GC shot its still on my bucket list, but waiting for the day Marci and I can see it together ;) I Think I know those trees? LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Baz :-)) Yes, those trees should look familiar to you!!
DeleteBeautiful shot of the canyon, Mitch.
ReplyDeletelol, I LOVE the little chipmunk AND your sense of humor!
Nice shot, looking up into the tree tops! That must have taken a lotta, lotta years!
WOW, that last shot is awesome! Where did you find that guy???
Thanks Debby :-)) I'm actually disappoined with my GC shots. Because we went there by train, we only had three hours in the middle of the day to photograph. With the sun high in the sky, there was very little shadow for contrast, and as such I think my shots look rather 'flat' .
DeleteThe T Rex was 'lurking' in the undergrowth at 'Islands Of Adventure' in Florida.
Some great ideas. Love the fighting chipmonk. I am sure he was posting for the photo.You have a TRex? wales is full of surprises. Lovely view of the canyon and a good reflection on its past, as well as the trees.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat :-)) This chipmunk was having a bit of a squabble with some others of his clan over some seeds that had been thrown for them.
DeleteAlthough there is a 'dinosaur park' near to where I live, it's mainly a children's attraction and is privately owned, therefore the 'residents' are not particularly accurate. This guy I photographed at 'Islands Of Adventure' in Florida.
Excellent choices in so many ways, Mitch! Love the chipmunk... he is very cute and perhaps he could attain his goal... The dinosaur seems real and very big...oh those steak knife grooved teeth!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Belita :-)) This chipmunk was certainly bossing around some of the others in his clan. Perhaps he was the group leader. Yes, the T Rex does look rather realistic, doesn't it!!
DeleteHi Mitch! Wonderful view of the Canyon. I love that chipmunk with his little paws up. Stately trees and wow, did you go back in time to get the T-Rex?!! Yes, I will run!! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Benni :-)) I actually found this T Rex in Florida, so next time you go....check the undergrowth and behind the palm trees!!! LOL.
DeleteGreat collection of images for Belita's theme. I find your choice of subjects interesting. It's incredible to think about what occured naturally during the centuries to form the Grand Canyon. It's a beautiful panoramic shot of it. Great pose of the chipmunk as a boxer. " In this corner, weighing 3 lbs....". Sorry, Mitch, I don't know the conversion to the metric system. The T-Rex is really once upon a time. Great to incorporate it into the theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert :-)) That's ok, I still use pounds (lb), not that awful metric system!!
