Today we took a little break from the all-weekend birthday celebrations (happy birthday, Chris!) to just stop and have some fun on the playground. From the group of photos I took, I decided to make a diptych — two photos side by side that I feel work better together than alone. I’m sure both [...]

Today’s challenge photo is of a very nice ivory carving given to me by my Aunt. He may be a small Samurai, but he is a mighty warrior.
