A Big HUH?

Sand Fence to Guitar playing kids?

#3679 Particularly cute is that you can imagine the sound effects she is making by seeing her lips pursed. Great shot.

made sense to me.. The fence looked like frets of a guitar. Open up your imagination!

look at the pattern on the wall behind the kiddie playing...looks like the fence panels to me too, remember it doesn't have to be a repetition of what's just gone before, it's an Association, a visual nuance that can be interpreted through to another image. Flex that imagination. The assumption that it must go back to the three images of musicians may be, or may not be correct, but there is association in shape and form from your fence to the guitar image, whether intentional or not.

I seem to recall having seen those fence panels before too...is that recycling, or just uncannily similar.

Maybe a little early with the remonstration there, don't you think? Apology due perhaps?

Oh and frequent posting, last time I looked, didn't mean a Mod role, so what's with sig lines being removed?

Back to simple friendly associated images, always the best way.

Half the fun of the thread is trying to see the association that might have triggered the image to pop into someones head.

We all have unique perspective and triggers.

I saw the pattern on the wall as the probable link.
 
Free association....Interesting. Not so free association......greatly diminished.

Thanks. That's very commendable and in keeping with the spirit of the thread. I'm sure rd smith3 will be delighted with such a considered response.

Mr. Lamble, coming from a gent whom decided to post three images in a series.
Whom then flamed me for being a person w/ no compassion over burnt kids because you felt I was admonishing the content when in fact I was noting your bending the rules to suit your personal agenda.
After that little exchange your words mean nothing to me.

=Now=
I thought about my comment on the ride in to work.
From #3673 it migrates to fences etc. from musicians... Then from #3676 it goes back to musician/kids.
Noting the frets... OK... I have to agree.
Perhaps it was a little harsh in the screen refresh comment so I do apologize for that...
As for SigLines... My thanking someone for turning theirs off is, well... Nothing more than thanking them for turning them off.
Sorry for the speed bump folks.
~ Jim
 
Yes Jim, sorry i forgot you were the self appointed sheriff around here.
Three different images though Jim, not the same three repeated just to have some sort of presence in the thread. And don't change your message to suit anyway..you said the pictures weren't suitable, nothing about the rules or being three of them, just that burnt kids enjoying bike rides were not suitable to follow on from other kids enjoying things. Anyway, talking of pictures, which seems appropriate, if a picture paints a thousand words, then let's just imagine conversely what picture these few words will have painted for a new poster to the thread.

I'll let you formulate your own picture, not from my words, but from your very own:

A Big HUH?
Sand Fence to Guitar playing kids?
C'mon guys... refresh your screens of fix your preferences to view linked images!!
Um lemme think. No.
your words mean nothing to me.





I'm sure that rdsmith3 will be most appreciative of this gracious apology

Re: 3693

Not a picture from me, but one of my dad found in some old slides. Don't know who was holding the camera, perhaps his brother. I was likely about 2 years old when it was taken. It was a toss up between the one posted and this one:

I don't think it's appropriate for this thread.
One reason, to be put in a position to have to voice a dissent due to the subject matter.

One image will suffice and either start a new thread or post the remainder here.

...and yes I agree, it's a wonderful cause... :brow

Annoyed? Too bad- It's just my opinion. But since you like to type:

It's a photo association thread, not a soapbox. Post an image and discuss it and others here. Why should it be any different for you/us? Because of the poor kids?
There's plenty of pain and suffering going on in the world for us to lament over.
I'd like to at least have one place to escape from it.
So that being said, instead of you chastising me for commenting on your decision to break the thread.
You could've just as easily been discussing your outing and the importance of it to you, here.

And no it's not about it being ackward over what to post next...
It's about having to comment at all on the subject.
And to appear as a dick having to remind you of the basis or spirit of the thread.
Post one and move along...
Not so hard to comprehend, eh?

Let's put it in terms you'll understand...
If this were a nice winding, twisty road you just installed a speed bump.

I'm done with this topic.

Just checking my words from the afore mentioned that started @ No. 536... :blah
Now I'm really done. :laugh
 
pffft... What ever. You win.
You typed more words than me.

I'm not at all sure how the burnt kiddie pictures are even remotely relevant to the post on the kiddie on guitar and your fence image. some sort of grudge being carried?

What a picture is being painted.

Jim, it's a thread for images,that's all it is. Try to show some tolerance and to apply a little perspective here.
