Shoe planters
The picture itself is... okay, not spectacular, but the circumstances make it great.
First of all, this was taken on Dec 27, and I just don't usually get to see living greenery outside at that time of year! Lovely! I love the splash of red against the otherwise grey-brown surroundings - in fact, it was a drizzly, rainy day, so everything was rather grey, and then there were these bright red shoes! I love that they are a matched pair, but are on the wrong sides of each other for putting them on.
What's your most creative recycling of an item?

Famous Photo
A couple of months ago, a new world-record was set for the highest price paid for a photograph at auction. (As an aside, this sale pales in comparison to the $140 million paid for a Pollock Jackson painting, in 2006.) The following photograph was sold for $4.33 million.

What do you think? Is it worth $4.33 million? To my tastes, no. It's a nice enough picture, but I don't find there to be anything spectacular about it. Regardless, the article linked to above is quite interesting and not very long. The author also gives an example of a photograph that he thinks would be worth more - and it's a very stunning image!

It's a tree!
Another of the 30 Day Challenge topics was trees or foliage. The problem I've been having with a lot of my photography lately is lighting - the sun rises after I've left for work, and sets while I'm still at work. And natural light is of course my favourite. So it's been a little tricky getting some of these shots without either resorting to taking umpteen pictures in my office or through a window. This one, however, I got on a bus!
Part of what I enjoy of this challenge is that it's making me more aware of my surroundings. I have to really look around and think of things that will fit different aspects of the challenge. In this case, here is an ad I had seen dozens of times before, but I'd never really realized it was a tree! (As a bonus, the mirror in effect gives me two trees!)
