I have been handed the baton for the Mugdots Challenge 124. After some thought (and my recent trip to Vermont), I have decided on “covered bridges”.

This is the covered bridge I did on my return from VT a couple of weeks ago.

From what I can tell, Mugdots challenges run 2 weeks. So this will end on Thursday, the 16th of October, 2014.

For some previous works of art, I searched the site and only found 8 other covered bridges on ThinkDraw (If there are more, the name “covered bridge”, “covered” or “bridge” was not in the title). They are:

If you need inspiration, you might do a search for “covered bridges” and click on images. You will find hundreds of covered bridges in all manner of positions and time of year. The url for google is: https://www.google.com/search?q=covered+bridges&client=firefox-a&hs=IE4&rls=org.mo zilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=jWYtVKHvK-XCsA TBvYCgBg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=825&bih=547

Have fun!

Thank you Clorophilla, I finally figured out how I missed it, I typed bridge and it needed to be bridges for that one to come up. Thanks for finding it.

Mrozowsky's "Bridges of Madison County" was created in "flowers".

Nice topic - hope I get more inspired than I have been lately!
The Challenges can run to whatever time you choose. If folks
respond slowly, you can extend it. Or not! Your choice.

So doing my part to keep this alive.

Time to pass the "baton".

Thanks to all of you that participated in my Mugdots Challenge. There are a total of nine pictures created in six pallets by seven of you! (seven pallets if you count the one I did in flowers to remind TD’er’s of the challenge).
In order of the pallet page:

In ‘valentines’ there is Fangzzz’s “White Mt. Covered Bridge” AND Five’s “Covered Bridge”.
In ‘space’ is Priya41’s “covered bridge”.
In ‘fruit’ Clorophilla’s “flume covered bridge”.
In ‘avatars’ Clrmered’s “Covered Red Bridge”.
In ‘candy’ Bugoy1’s “Fall Covered Bridge II” AND Janice’s “first try at a covered bridge”.
In ‘faces’ Clrmered’s “Swallowed By Father Time” AND Janice’s “covered bridge over the waterfall”.

We have some fantastic artwork here; from the charming to the bold; from majestic to the forgotten; from the very long to the very short; with windows and without; for the ones showing water, we have a babbling brook, creek, river and even a waterfall; (for the waterfall see Covered Bridge Falls in Thetford, VT for one) bridge colors of shades of red, shades of brown, white, gray and blue; roofs of tin, shingles and slate with various configurations and colors; and scenes depicting spring, summer, fall and early winter!

I am so pleased at the outcome! Everyone did such nice bridges! Now the tough part, with only being able to pick one artist, I am passing the “baton” to Fangzzz’s “White Mt. Covered Bridge” for her desire to “keep this thing alive”!

Fangzzz’s “Mugdots Challenge” will be CXXV (#125).

I have started a gallery for “covered bridges” and have posted all the older bridges completed prior to this challenge. Please post your covered bridge to it (that way your profile picture will be beside it). I will check in a few days and the ones not posted I will also do. Thanks, Katidid.

Confirmation that that baton was to be passed to me as the number 125 has a very special meaning between me the my best lifetime buddy. In ASL holding up the thumb, index and pinkie means "I love you" and in medicine those same fingers have the numbers 1, 2 & 5 - so in light of that will be my inspiration for the next Mugdots Challenge CXXV. Coming to a screen of yours today.
