In a recent get together between my grandson and my neighbor’s child, I put the boys to work as a team competing against me in a friendly game we made up rules for as we went along, always adjusting in the boys’ favor.  As the competition progressed, the enthusiasm for the game swelled, and my granddaughter added color by becoming the event announcer and keeping score on a white board.  When the volume started getting a bit high, I pronounced that our game should be announced a bit more like a round of golf.  When the boys soundly defeated me by a wide margin, there were lots of congratulations and some follow up interviews to gather the thoughts of the team members and what they would remember most about their victory.  Of course, such a monumental moment in the imagination could not be complete without a trophy for the winning team, so I put this image together for them to remember their triumph against all odds and a superior opponent.   The boys were pleased with their spoils.

I enjoy making floral composition images because they are pleasant to work with and versatile in applying them to various applications.  Today’s post uses the same basic techniques as the other compositions in this series, but this one turned out to be particularly colorful.  When you are not sure what type of matting you want for your photos, I can provide a number of alternatives for you to consider based on your photos, and let you pick from the ones you like.  Matte Watch provides the right combination of creativity, value, and unique photographic enhancement solutions.  What can we make for you today?

Last time, we left Littlehead about to parapoot over the Alamo from a pigeon.  As it turned out, the jump came a bit too late, and our hero landed in a cactus patch on the mission grounds.  Using his survival skills, Littlehead managed to squeeze some water and food from his cactus perch, and revive himself.  In the picture below, he is smiling because he realized that even though this was a sticky situation, when life becomes succulent, tomorrow is another day.  After taking time to smell the cactus flowers, Littlehead rolled on in search of new sights and some of his favorite puddin’.

Until next time, you might want to think about your own answers to the following questions:

1.  How long does a fire pole last?

2.  Are we there yet?

3.  How many times in your life have you applied geometric postulates?

4.  Could you stand to live your life just being a head?

Littlehead becomes one with a cactus.

Today I am presenting some calendar humor that might be used as a greeting card, calendar theme, or even an award.  Though the theme is aimed at men, there might be some ladies who may appreciate knowing that men are still looking for that certain kind of magnetic appeal.

Calendar themes can be used for more than wall hangings.

It is May again, and soon the kids will be out of school, swimming pools opening, and summer on its way.  After a long hard day of having fun, switch on the digital picture frame and show off some of the pictures you took from your summer activities.  Better yet, display some of the best shots ever, because you decided to get your pictures matted here.  I am looking forward to seeing what customers will be ordering this summer.  We can do something special to help remember those graduation events too.
