I’ve been thinking of this challenge for awhile and jrosey@thiskuntrygirl reminded me of it today so here we go! see if you can get all 4 elements plus the 5th element. This may take all week but hey thats why its a challenge…:-)

Have fun and I’ll see ya’ll tomorrow for Macro monday.

Later…Ed

p.s. for a real challenge, see how many you can get in one pic, otherwise 4 or 5 will work..:-)

  3. Ed…there are all kinds of elements. What do you want?

    August 2, 2009 at 8:53 pm

  4. Yeah, I agree with Lori, can we have specifics?

    August 2, 2009 at 10:22 pm

  5. Air, fire, earth and water are the four elements. The fifth being the one made popular by the movie, The Fifth Element, love.

    Chinese theory, 5 elements, water, wood, earth, fire, metal.

    Japanese Buddest philosophy
    Earth represented things that were solid.
    Water represented things that were liquid.
    Fire represented things that destroyed.
    Wind/Air represented things that moved.
    Void represented things not of our everyday life

    Geez this one will be a big challange!!

  8. Yay! Really excited to see what everyone comes up with on this one! All of the elements in one pic? Now, that truely will be a challenge! Fun!! :)

  9. Pam is right, I was thinking is this what I am thinking? The Chinese theory, could be hard to get all 5 in a photo.

  10. I don’t believe Ed meant all five elements in one picture. But a single picture depicting each element…therefore, five pictures. But, if you can put them all in one shot that would be a winner. :) I still think this challenge will be a tough one. :)

    August 6, 2009 at 7:08 pm

  15. I’m back! :)

    I’ll give it a try — computer still in progress of getting all the backed-up files on and organized, so I’m not sure if I can get all my photos for this one. But I’ll definitely try.
