TUM - Edge

Okay, nearly there.  This was a very, very interesting theme.  In the end, since I couldn't find anything in my natural world that satisfied my desire to do it justice, I had to . . . you ready for this?  Stage it! - gasp!  I do find I am doing that more and more with this blog, and I think that's a good thing:

 

 I would have liked to spend more time on this, and try to get in the whole handle, but given the 45 seconds I had before my daughter got tired of holding the torch, I think it's a passable shot.  Linda joined us this week, so she is next:

My handsome nephew's strapping calves as he used the edge of the step to flex his muscles ;-)  Did he know he was posing for TUM Linda?

Mariette:

The orchid that came back from the edge of darkness to spread joy in this world in pink and white!  Orchids always make me think of my gran, special lady - she loved them.  Nice Mariette.

And Claire:

A young girl, on the edge of her seat!  I remember the anticipation of those days, pity as we get older things become less 'wooo hoooo!!!!  OMG!! I am so EXCITED!!  yippeee!  can't wait!!!!' and more 'I am looking forward to Friday night . . .' - live it up girl!

It is going to be a challenge to find a creative take on next week, instead of just the obvious.  I don't know what I was thinking, but if I have power after the storm and time will tell, I will get my photo done!
