This Thursday the theme is “arranged”. It can be something obvious, or something interpreted figuratively – the choice is always yours. You can also go with “out of the theme” entry.  Have  a happy Thursday!

P.S. Next Thursday the theme is “Diversity”. More details on Scheduled Challenges page…

  9. When I saw the theme, I knew one thing – the photo you will have chosen will be completely unexpected, and I was right! 🙂 So bright and perfectly arranged like…little soldiers. The answer to what it was came to me rather easily, using the “connection” of Paula&fire… 🙂

      1. ha! well I used to have a bags of those ear plugs and so I guess one would have to open up each little pack of two and line them up – (a lot of work) and the conctre I was thinking of – well I will take a picture later this week to show you – it is different – but they are these garden edging things they sell over hear – and my neighbor has them around her mailbox. and again, those was just my first thoughts when I saw it in the reader – 🙂
