Since I've had so much on my proverbial plate lately, I haven't played in the Photo Hunt in two weeks. But, since they were such great themes, I decided to add them into today's.
Two weeks ago, the theme was: What IS that?!?! This, my friend, is a frog. But not just any frog. This frog is as dead as dead gets. I thought my husband was pulling my leg about it being dead. He just walked outside the other day and this guy was simply sitting on the driveway. Dead. He looks like he just hopped over from Madame Tussaud's, doesn't he? Pretty freaking amazing.
Last week's theme was: Hanging. I love the way the water droplets are hanging from the flowers in this shot. It was taken in Portland, Oregon, in July 2007.
This week's theme is: Cloud(s). The shot was taken from my car on the way home one night, also in July 2007. We thought these clouds were quite remarkable.
Happy Hunting to all and to all a fantabulous weekend!
Edited to add: Why the hell can't all blogging services just get along? I've tried to comment on FOUR different Photo Hunters' blogs, and I can't. I don't know what an OpenID is, I don't have the time or patience to find out, I don't remember my Blogger addy, I don't have the time or patience to email all the junk to find out, I just want to leave a few nice words! AAAAAARRRRRRRGH!
Wonderful photos Lori :) The frog is well, kinda surprising. The flowers are lovely and the clouds are great too.

Thank you for the props, mistyeiz! Flattery will get you everywhere, when it comes to my photography! LOL!

gengen, re: the frog. I guess he's as happy as he can be and still be dead from heat stroke... maybe. ???

Oh, yes, arlene. I am a firm believer in "not too late" when it comes to Photo Hunt! :-)

Scared to death, poor frog. Nice clouds looks like a storm was rolling in. Dew drop in http://wanderingwaves.blogspot.com/2008/08/photohunter-clouds.html sorry it's a blogger.

Love that cloud photo! I see clouds like that rather often where I live, but I haven't yet captured them as well as you have. Great shot!

These are great shots. The frog one is distressing and cool at the same time. And I love the clouds!
