I Know You're Out There

It is Saturday and I sure did have to Scavenge for these Shots!  Okay, it's a bit stretchy, but I think that is okay.  Today's word is EON and it comes to us courtesy of the divine Tara @ Eclectic Spaghetti.  Here is how I decided to play this one:

A few weeks ago, a car ran through the front window of a Baskin Robbins on a corner.  Fortunately, the store was not yet open for business.  There was so much damage that the owner knew he'd have to shut down for some time and he decided to give away all of the ice cream in the display cases.  Of course they heard about it at the high school and tons of them showed up (and missed 3rd period) to collect their glorious bounty.  Note Girlie Girl second from left.  Ice cream will not last an EON and must be eaten!  See how I did that?  Smoooove.

Here is a picture of Handsome Lad finishing the Santa Anita Derby Days 5K just this morning.  It is a fun street run and they get to do the last 200 yards or so on the horse track.  His time was 37:16, which is not even close to an EON.  Huh? Huh?  
You like that one?  
I know this doesn't seem to be much of a picture.  It is actually the night sky.  I don't have a nice camera and night skies are hard to shoot and well...this is what I got...the moon and black.  But it is more a feeling that I wanted to convey.  When I look up at the night sky it feels so infinite.  I feel like I am seeing EONs past and future out there.  Also, yeah, been taking bad pictures for an EON.  It is more or less second nature now, thank you very much.

Thank you for joining me for these Saturday Scavenger Shots.  I hope another post or two goes up...we'll see!  And we'll also see who Tara tags next :-)

These photos definitely work! Nice job! I almost forgot to post a photo today, and I stumped myself on the word. Luckily I had a photo on my computer for it.

I missed out during high school, I guess! Nobody drove through our ice cream shops to the point where the owner had to give away the ice cream. Not that I wanted people crashing into ice cream shops, but you know what I mean. :P

Tara: Great, thought provoking word...and I like the picture you found :-)
The ice cream incident was a case of the best being made of a bad situation. Never happened to me in high school either...woulda been all over that mint n' chip...

You can't even get mad at your kid for skipping 3rd period for free ice cream. I'd be a little worried if they DIDN'T skip 3rd period for that.

Churlita: Oh yeah, it didn't even occur to me to get mad. I was proud of her for getting on it. haha!

MrManuel: Yeah, kids...we wanna bottle that energy :-)
