Before Your Eyes ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge for which the subject was polka dots.

This particular challenge sounded pretty easy at least until I tried to find something that I could shoot which actually had polka dots on it.

For a while it looked as if I might need to 'broaden' the definition to include something that say had spots on it like a set of dice or the spots on a ladybird poppy. However, at the last minute my wife dug this old blouse out from the back of the wardrobe and so I was able (for once) to stay within the terms of the actual brief.

No doubt now that the challenge is over I'll find loads of suitable photo opportunities that feature polka dots ... such is the life of a "Sunday Challenger" ... groan!

Also for Sight and Sound ... how about The Andrews Sisters (before my time - lol) with "Strip Polka" - enjoy:

BTW, my Club subscription expired today, which is why most of my images are no longer visible. I've already renewed once at Christophe's increased rates and had hoped by the time that 3 months was up the IMA would be in charge, but alas no.

I'm very reluctant to do so again so will probably leave things as they are and keep my fingers crossed that the deal does eventually go through.

I don't know if it is me but if you view this picture at newspaper reading length it is impossible to view it as a whole, I tried staring at it but could not hold the gaze for long..
Eye boggling experience.
