Elements - Au and C

My entry for the Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge - Elements being Gold (Au) and Diamonds (C)

This is my mother's engagement ring. My father did ask if she'd mind going without
a ring so he could use the money to buy another cow for their new farm. She declined!! LOL

Others in their element can be found #here#

I'm off on my travels - see you next week!


other sizes: small medium original auto

Safe travel...think of me while eating your soup !!
Guest 25-Jul-2007 22:37
amazing shot
great entry
greetings, JOhan
Margot W25-Jul-2007 22:20
I would think that if your Dad did buy that cow with the ring
you would have heard that he also 'bought the farm'.
Good picture.
Good luck.
Gary Winters25-Jul-2007 22:13
Personally, I think your father was right. I realize I'm in the minority on this one. Good shot!
Adalberto Tiburzi25-Jul-2007 21:48
"C" may be also for cow... lol
Great idea, technically superb shot.
