IOW 5/19 to 5/25

[efarnstrom]

Thanks to Calamity Janet for tagging me this week. I have someone tagged for next week, who generously accepted the challenge. I hope there will be many others who would like to see the IOW continue and will accept the invitation to take over the next week when she calls on you.

It is a joy to have many images to choose from, but was indeed hard to exclude those equally deserving of this honor. I would encourage you all to scan through the images and stop long enough to make a comment and, if invited, a critique.

In no particular order,

I have a soft spot when it comes to flowers. Rhododendron on Heavy Silk by Jo.

Another love of mine is New Mexico. Here is a scrap page from Sepiana: Viva New Mexico.

Since here in the states, we see Spring appearing, we take time to say goodbye to Winter...here is Winter Church by Bamagirl.

LSweeney told us that her grandson let her know he is too old for cute things on his scrap pages any longer. Here is Soccer Page 2008....doesn't he still look cute?

We take time today to remember those who serve in the military. Here is a scrap page by DebCam.

I suggest this be the IOW to remind us that we can all have that happy moment when we snap a luck shot. Accident by Cape.

[Bamagirl]

Thank you so much Ellen for picking one of my images. I am humbled to be in such talented company.

Congratulations to all the 'winners'. It is always so interesting to see the choices for IOW - I find it sometimes make me appreciate something I may have missed at the first viewing. Opens my eyes so to speak.

I particularly like the 'Accident' image too.

Thanks for taking on the tough job of choosing for the week! I always like catching work in the IOW that I may have missed otherwise.

Thanks, too, for including my soccer page among your choices!

[Jancy]

Excellent Choices! Congrats all!

Please don't blame me!
Only, until know I had no idea about the IOW.
Thanks to a nice Village Tenant my attention was finally drawn to it.
And now where I know it? Now I'm quite surprised what I discover here.
Thank you very much for pick up my accident!
And congrats to all the others! ...that happy moment when we snap a luck shot.The best pictures are taken most unexpectedly.

In this sense ...

Hi Es,

I didn't find out until today you'd picked one of my images. For some reason, I missed this thread. Thanks so much. I feel so humble, as well as honored, to be in such talented company. I was so surprised; I double-checked to make sure it was me. Congratulations to the other winners.

Cape and Sepiana:
The selection was well deserved. I enjoyed looking at the gallery and the IOW encourages others to do so, too.
