harder than I thought....

I said "yes" to a blog challenge
not thinking for a minute that it might be hard
~
that it could actually be a difficult
{hence the word challenge}
~duh~
anyhow
katy
asked us to play along with her
~
it's called
"inside plus outside"
where you put photos side by side of where the colors
from somewhere inside your home
match
your outside world

the first set of photos is our cottage
almost at a birds eye view
which is actually just from us climbing the hill next to us and shooting down at it
and
then a shot of my studio
which is not at the cottage but at my house
{is that considered cheating}
to go with the black and white theme
~~
and
then a shot of a bird's egg
which I thought was the same color as the floor on the three season porch at the cottage
until I got them side by side
and
then
well
not so much
~~
see
I'm not very good at this game
but
at least I tried
and
now it's your turn if you're up for the challenge
~~
come on
you know you want to try it
just to show me that you can do better than my pathetic attempt at it
~~
I'd love to see what you come up with
and
so would katy

  5. This sounds like fun! The batteries in my camera died, but once I buy a fresh set I just might try this (that is, of course, if my sieve-like brain retains this information).

    Most likely, I'll fail miserably.

    And whether or not you're disqualified for the cottage/studio picture - I like what you came up with very much. I never in a million years would have thought the floor to my three season porch (if I had one) matched the shell of a robin's egg. That is a robin's egg, isn't it? No, robin's eggs are speckled. I think. I don't know. Moving on...

    Way to go!
