Byron suggested that we try something that helps or is helpful as a theme. Happy to help, Byron.

The fine print:

Everyone is invited to participate.
Because the purpose of the weekly theme is to get us more familiar with our cameras and to sharpen our photographic skills, entries should be taken during the week of the theme.
Photoshopping is allowed.
To make this thread more manageable to view, please post only your entries in this thread. Post your comments in the accompanying 'comment' thread (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37745).
Be creative and have fun!

I photographed a charity golf tournament yesterday. A co-worker showed up in his customized cart to help him around the course, and to help carry his 25 year old bottle of Crown Royal. The car has a two tone metallic finish, chrome plating, pin striping and even wheel spinners. I don't think it helped his score, but he was styling.:D

I think the intent of this collection of road signs that I ran across today is supposed to be helpful but if you don't happen to be a local I suspect they could cause more confusion than help or at least create a traffic jam at the intersection while you figure out what direction to go for what (at least whichever way you go you can play golf :))

This image was taken Sunday afternoon while my wife and I walked around downtown Raleigh.

Who is more helpful than a Bondsman when you go to jail?

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Air Force Academy graduation last week. I think these graduates count as something/someone helpful - to defend our nation!!!

How lucky am I that, just in time for this theme (thanks Bill and Byron!), I had an appointment with these guys today?

I'm also very fortunate that they decided to give me a little more time to heal before "putting me down!" :p

P.S. Hey, Steven - in trade for the "fish sprinkler," could you snag me a little of that Crown Royal.... for medicinal purposes only, of course!!!

Everyone occasionally needs help with a cool drink on a hot, hot day.

Not the best image. This is my favourite kitchen helper. Known affectionately as 'the Grabber' it allows me to pick things up off the floor without having to bend down or to reach down things from the topmost kitchen cupboards without resorting to a stepladder:

I'll second that suggestion for some Crown Royal. I haven't had any in ages. Taking pills and booze at the same time is a no no. I'd rather do without the pills, actually.

Our grandson, hauling sand and helping his grandpa with the yard work. I suspect being behind the wheel might have something to do with his motivation to help... :)

Every new member's favorite help.

I took this shot off my pc screen. I cropped it because I picked up some glare.

The old life-rings were what I was after but the shiny new ones would be more helpful I guess.

I took this photo two nights ago while playing with my new Sony Alpha camera.

Here are some things that are helping my husband build onto our deck.
Nothing like waiting until the last minute to post!

Not the most creative photo .. but I was kind of stymied for an idea.
Was doing my duty, helping at my nephew's school fun day today.

Shot of the organizers who did a great job.
