We had a freakish snowfall a couple days ago and I went out to see what I could find for ‘white,’ when I happened on [this](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g73/StarvingButStrong/3ferupload.jpg) in a rather unkempt garden sheltered by a big old cedar tree. There’s lots of white, there are at least two elements, and if you look closely, the garden statue is in profile… 🆒 I’ll try to find more worthy pictures, but the coincidence amused me. ---

> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > Wow, those are stunning, **Ludy**. I have to say your profile shot had me baffled for a minute because I thought one body part was another but… very tastefully done, IMHO. > > But the white is my favorite, partly because that is one cute puppy. Why thank you, When I saw white as a subject, I just couldnt use anything else. ---

OK, here are my contributions: [Element](http://www.flickr.com/photos/42561499@N00/125996216/) [White](http://www.flickr.com/photos/42561499@N00/125996217/in/photostream/) [Profile](http://www.flickr.com/photos/42561499@N00/125996218/in/photostream/) [My choice](http://www.flickr.com/photos/42561499@N00/125996219/in/photostream/) The profile shot was taken, by coincidence, just before the assignment was posted. The rest were shot for the assignment. Cheers. ---

**Hal** , thanks for the interesting and challenging assignments! **Pigboy** , I love your “White” ! **El\_Kabong** , nice job on “Element,” it looks so wet, like you could stick your hand right through the computer screen and be wet. Here are mine: [Element](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekuzina/128184920/) [White](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekuzina/128184919/) Okay, this is cheating, or as I prefer to say, creative interpretation. [Profile](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekuzina/128184922/) [Choice](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekuzina/128184921/) My choice for this month was really supposed to be my “Fence” for last month. It was one of those things where work went crazy and I didn’t have the opportunity to finish the assignment and post. But I was really proud of “Fence” and didn’t want it to go to waste. ---

Protecting myself from the [element](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/124957389/)s. Step away from the [white](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/118484126/) light!

It’s been a while since anyone has posted to this thread, so here are my photos. [Elements & White](http://Kadavys.smugmug.com/photos/66140568-L.jpg) - Thunderstorm generating tornados as I photographed it. [Profile](http://Kadavys.smugmug.com/photos/65341338-L.jpg) - My parents [Choice](http://Kadavys.smugmug.com/photos/65341381-L.jpg) - My two-year old on Easter (I have used her in several of these photo assignments, but she is photogenic and at that age when she isn’t self-conscious about posing for photos). ---
