Dang it, for the first time since these contests began, I forgot to submit an entry this month. I thought about it, and then got busy with other stuff, and then the deadline snuck up on me. Oh well, it probably would have ended up being a picture of my cat, and we already had plenty of excellent cat pictures. ---

I posted another shot from this same fire-ruined shed, but I thought long and hard about posting this one instead. I decided it just doesn’t show enough door to fit the theme.

I can’t get the aspect ratio to work properly. It’s a rotated photo, but the aspect ratio hasn’t rotated along with it. ---

I mean, maybe? But just like I wouldn’t want to call a game in the first half of the first quarter, there’s still plenty of room for something even better. (I’m curious, too, if we’re agreeing about which one) ---
