Five on the Fifth: December 2011

So it's the 5th of December and time for another edition of Five on the 5th.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "Five on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "Winter Weekend."  This is apparently the final installment of Five on the 5th, as Stephen is mulling about options to replace the photofest with something else.  Something equally as fun, I'm sure.

This month finds me back in London on an extended stay, enjoying some shenanigans with friends around the city.  My photos mainly follow the optional theme and, as always, are posted without comment.

So it's the 5th of October and time for another edition of Five on the 5th.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "Five on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "Pleasure."

 

It's been a few months since I've participated in this.  Finishing my dissertation for grad school took a bit out of me, but I'm now in the process of exhaling after completing such a task, so I'm hoping to keep up with this a bit more regularly.

As seems to be my take, my photos are a combination of the optional theme and just a random selection of pics taken from my life in the past few days.  As always, though, they are posted without comment.

So it's the 5th of March and time for another edition of Five on the 5th.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "Five on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "New."

 

I struggled quite a bit with the optional theme this month.  I thought about heading in the opposite direction and photographing a number of old things, some of which I did include below.  But really all the pics are of things I've run into in the days running up to today.

 

I should note that after almost a year of living in London, I'm moving back to Texas in less than 48 hours.  At the end of the day, London and I tried each other on for size but we just don't fit.  I'm ready to be back in Texas.

I seem to only be participating about every other month, but the challenges of grad school seem to be keeping me rather busy.  Hence my sporadic posting in any way, shape, or form.

So it's the 5th of January and time for another edition of Five on the 5th.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "Five on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "Fun and Games."

This month my post is split between the fun and games I had in London after Christmas and the fun and games I'm having while on holiday back in Texas with a special someone.

So it's the 5th of November (Remember, remember the 5th of November...) and time for another edition of Five on the 5th.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "Five on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "Recycled."


I struggled quite a bit with the optional theme in the days leading up to the 5th and took several rounds of photos to try to make it work.  At the end of the day, I just didn't have anything I really liked.  So this month I just have some random photos to post.

I figured that since I am now residing in the UK, I should play nice and do as several UK bloggers (and those elsewhere in the world) are doing.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "5 on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "Round."

It's also an opportunity for me to get back to taking pictures.

Here's my first contribution.  Posted without comment.
