As is my habit, I check my email from bed with my phone when I wake up. If I forgot to check the Flickr topic the night before, I go to my contacts in my flickr app and look at the latest photo from my contact who lives in Australia to see what the topic is, since she usually has it posted first thing. Today it was called “Lit Up”- so I cleverly took this photo of my backup drive- and thought I was done for the day. I have a lot going on today- and want to have my blog and Flickr photo DONE!
However, in my not completely awake state, I didn’t realize that my Flickr friend’s photo (a nighttime lights on water scene) was TITLED “Lit Up”- the actual topic today is horizon. Oh.
Well- I could do that! So I stepped out on our front porch. The Bay Area finally had a decent bit of rain last night- and this is today’s view from the porch. Done!


Nice clouds. And don’t think that the first shot doesn’t meet the challenge. You could make the case that it meets one of the dictionary definitions of “horizon” which is the limit of a person’s mental perception. Your mental perception this morning was limited to photographing the hard drive, so it’s sort of a horizon, and a “blue” one at that!! 😉
I really like the very big clock, (just haven’t gone over to flickr to comment), and today was so foggy and rainy, I couldn’t even see the horizon so mine will have to wait until tomorrow or the next day. I, actually, have a photo in my minds eye but it requires me getting up before sunrise and that shouldn’t be difficult as the pup has us up in the early morning hours.
