Canon DSLR Speed Challenge #126 --

Dread is the new topic, I decided to go in contrast with the upcoming holiday spirit
I just opened the dictionary and picked the first word that inspired me
I now dread the judging of your pics...
have fun, interpretation is up to you, back in a week with the winners
maybe some dread that the Santa won't bring them gifts...

Wow... glad I checked before I went to bed! Thanks for the nod Daniel! There were some great shots again this week with great ideas on the theme. Poor kitty was pretty desperate. He didn't feel good and had to go to the vet. He definitely dreaded the trip, but he's all better now (still on antibiotics though).

Flo, a definite "dread" related to your shot would be if the toilet paper roll was empty. I think we all dread that in similar situations.

Since a week from now is Christmas Eve, and most everyone will be waiting for Santa, would anyone object if I made the deadline on the 26th? It gives folks a little extra time this week.

New Challenge is up. You get to go "Make a Face".
