blog – Schelley Cassidy Photography

The mind is everything. What you think you become. – Buddha

Last night I liked and commented on a picture that was titled “Bubbles in My Beer” and said that I would have never guessed it was bubbles in beer and that it would make a great “what is it?!?” picture. Jerry replied, “Well Schelley, actually they are not bubbles. Now it’s my turn to play “What Is It”.” Okay, so the tables turned and it was my turn to be challenged! I love it! Now I know how y’all feel when I post these funky pictures and you have no clue as to what the picture is. 🙂

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to make it any easier. I know, I know I’m full of mischief, can you hear my evil “muah-ha-ha” laugh? Muah-ha-ha.

Today’s mystery “what is it?!?” picture, I hope, is not easily recognizable. I was inspired by the shape and geometry of the subject. Can you guess?

What Is It?!?

What Was That?!? Yesterday’s Picture (Day 56)

Is it a floor mat? No. Side of a colander? No. How about a kitchen mat with the no-skid stuff? Not that either. Okay, how about a bathtub mat? Hmmm, I sense a theme here. No, it’s not any type of mat. After giving a hint that it was a guess made on a previous picture, my buddy, Shahn, did her investigation and came up with “cheese grater?” Well, close enough. Yes, yesterday’s picture was a grater. I was inspired by that guess (that Shahn made herself!). It took lots of shots to get that vision captured. I was happy with the results. Could you tell what it was?

Bubbles in My Beer

I just have to share with you Jerry’s picture that stumped me last night. He’s a great photographer and not only do I enjoy looking at his work, I always get a good giggle or two out of our interactions. Take a look! Can you guess “what is it?!?” http://phoport.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/3827/

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. – Saint Augustine

I was blessed with a mother who taught – and showed – my brother and I that traveling is just as important as a traditional schooling education. I have been so many places, from exotic Hawaii to glacier-filled Alaska, I’ve strolled the streets all over the world, been exposed to so many different cultures and foods and experiences. But since starting this blog and becoming a stats addict, I have had so many visitors from other countries that I haven’t yet visited, my bucket list grows each day. So many places, so little time!

Today’s mystery “what is it?!?” picture is the last of my stash that I took before our little vacation this past weekend. My muse did me well last week by showing me so many visions, and I am starting to call out again for my next inspiration. Do you know? Can you guess?

What Is It?!?

What Was That?!? Yesterday’s Picture (Day 55)

One of my all-time favorite guesses: “Cheezits floating in a sea of sriacha sauce!” Alas, that’s not what the subject was. Nor was it tile or a back splash. “Reverse lights” was close enough, since the picture was the reflector part of brake lights (a different car than the other pic I posted of brake lights, I know, I’m a dirty rascal!). Just goes to show, everything and everyone has a different perspective!

A Word of Thanks

I’ve been honored that Krzysztof Alexandrowicz (http://artslooking.wordpress.com) has reblogged two of my posts. He has also complimented my work, which makes me feel really, really good. I am so thankful for feedback, and like I said, I feel honored that someone, another artist, appreciates my work. So thank you, Krzysztof!

And then, today, I found out that my friend, Carissa (http://ramblingsofabipolarwoman.wordpress.com) nominated me for the The Very Inspiring Blogger 2013 award. Her kind words also put a very large smile on my face today! We both agreed that the best part about blogging is making connections with other people. Thank you, Carissa!

To the rest of my blogger community and followers, I also thank each of you for taking the time to peruse my funky pictures and read some of my rambling posts. You are a welcome addition to my space here in cyber world. Ciao, friends!
