I vote for newcomer spfoo.

But why didn't catbus choose to enter that contribution? I love the idea of painting a house with an artist's brush, like mowing the lawn with scissors so it's all perfectly even. Except for the fact that the part you'd started on would have grown by the time you finished, but that's why it's funny, right?

And thanks to those who participated for showing us how even a tricky theme can be conquered without necessarily hurting anyone's feelings. (Not that photography -- being art -- shouldn't hurt feelings sometimes, but our little friendly monthly competition doesn't need to make anyone sore).
