...and that's how I met your Mother - Retirement, part 2
My Get Pushed Challenge for this week is to "photograph the same small object in 5 unique ways. You can post one photograph per day, or make a collage of the 5 images." I will be using two small objects...Lego Tim and Lego Missus. This is Picture #5.
The first three pictures in this series were reminiscences of how Lego Tim met Lego Girlfriend and how they got married. Now, decades later, Lego Tim and Lego Missus have retired to Virginia.
In Virginia they are surrounded by nature. They live just 6 miles from the main entrance to Pocahontas State Park - where this shot was taken - which is enormous. It is 7,950 acres and has over 90 miles of trails. They also live within short drives of several National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges.
Between all the nature and all the history (see Picture #4), Lego Tim and Lego Missus are ridiculously happy spending their time exploring it all.
Tim, I must say I absolutely loved your series in response to your Get Pushed Challenge. I think you completed your challenge in a very creative and smart way. I really struggled with wanting to give you recognition as a finalist, but I didn't know how I could do that since the beauty of the response rested in the story contained in the series. I couldn't post the five photos or ask those voting to consider five photos against other single photo entries. But, posting one photo out of context lost the story and the complete response to the challenge. I did want you to know what a great response I thought it was. If it had been arranged in a collage that could have been presented to the voters as a single image, I certainly would have included it as a finalist.
@chejja Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me. But I knew that the series wouldn't pass muster for competitive purposes, so no hard feelings.
