I appear to have been tagged by some connoisseur of the blogging cyberspace known as my sister to participate in a strange blog game. This game demands that you post your fourth picture from your fourth file and tag for friends to do the same. Why, you may ask? Because our friends told us to. Beyond that questions are as unthinkable as asking why anyone invented the tie, or why we are supposed to look directly at the camera and not act like real people. One might ask who started this game, or the even better question of why it caught on, but our culture forbids such queries and demands conformity. If I don't obey the commands of my peers I may become a social outcast even in the blogging world, so here is my picture.
It is a shame that most of the pictures posted will not be very good, for when the choice is not the bloggers who knows what blurry, overexposed, noisy images will be posted. As the game expands the number of pictures will grow, multiplying by four each time. Millions, billions of unpolished pictures crowd the internet. It is a disease, a virus in the minds of the bloggers. We are flooding the internet, lowering the average quality. But we cannot cease, our friends have told us to post the fourth of the fourth.
The person who started it has no idea of the monster they have unleashed.

We play to bring closet bloggers like yourself out and into our world.
Farrah
Wow... that's... a weird bloggy game alright.
Say... do you plan on ever using any of these nature shots in conjunction with your books?
I mean, I know you use some on the blog with the stories already, but what about when the books are published? Would you put in a few pictures here & there throughout the book, or would you just put something on the cover & have the pages be text only?
As of right now I have no plans for my pictures. By the way we moved.
