Lavender

I've been tagged----damn it. I wasn't due to upload for another week:-)). Thanks a whole lot Jim and Dave!!!! I had to cheat as my 5th folder was family photos and I don't share them on flickr. I went to my 6th folder but this was the 5th photo. This also wasn't technically IN my computer but in one of two EHD's. Guess I don't follow rules very well:-)) SOOC with only signature and drop shadow added. Hey, it's even got some fancy bokeh in there!! I have to run and will think about who I'm going to tag and let you know later. Hmmm---who do I want to annoy the hell out of???

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

I guess I should explain to those who are fortunate enough not to have been tagged yet. You are supposed to post the 5th photo from your 5th folder and then tag five other lucky people to do the same. Not sure I like this game!

It is a stupid game and I won't be doing it anymore. We should start a new group "Just say NO to the Tag Game!"

Nice shot though Jill. I knew Mike would like the bokeh!

LOL.... they need to tag you more often Jill. This way you would upload more often... WOW!!! This is so awesome! I really love this. Yeah I have been tagged too. But everything is one folder pretty much I think. I need to organize my stuff. I am afraid I can't comply with the rules too well. Take care Jill. We are so freaking snowed around here up to my waist. Spent half a day shoveling roof yesterday and almost broke my back :( Cheers.

You are being tagged! The rules are to upload the 5th photo from the 5th folder on your computer.
I am told that you turn into a frog if you break the rule.
