The Ring is the Thing




For this week's Photo Shoot, I asked folks to show off rings that mean something to them. Ready for some circular significance?

Anaedream's rings are out of this world.

Adventuresinjuggling reveals simple and classic tastes.

Tendernoggle's is blurry but beautiful.

JottingsFromJersey shows off the rings on her fingers (but not the bells on her toes)

Jmorancoyle
offers up not a picture of a ring, but a dress, and a convincing explanation.

Mavarin opens the ring drawer.

Gehi6
says "This is my new ring on roses."

Kryssi01 wears this ring around her neck.

Plittle is a two-fisted ring bearer!

Amruschik tells a story about how she got her ring from a vendor in Moscow.

Excellent rings and lovely stories. Thanks, everyone!

    What-ev.

    I'll save you some work today.

    This weekend's assignment...

    Take a picture of your (John Scalzi's) CD collection, and have readers look at it and choose Theme Music for By The Way.

    John can look at all the selections, and choose whichever one he likes best Monday... and upload the song onto (into?) his Journal.

    Simple, fun, and interactive.

    Da nada....
