Hi TD-ers,

I've passed a lot of time lately under the spell of a song (and video, I must admit), dreaming of ancient free spirited civilizations that lived in perfect harmony with nature.

I'd be very curious and honored to see your interpretation on this:

I will pass on the baton on September the 21st.

Good luck!

Great idea and thanks for the YouTube connection. Thought the music well below poor, but the video was lovely. Especially liked the slo-mo close-up of the jaguar's movement.

Glad you enjoyed the clip, Normal. My understanding is that the video was supposed to promote Mexico's beautiful nature.

As for the challenge, I thought it wouldn't hurt to give some examples of pics that would've made great entries. Hopefully they'll provide more inspiration to get us started.

I'm sure there's plenty to choose from in here. Can't wait to see your perspective on this!

So nice to see you around again, ArtDillon! We'd be delighted to see a new pic as well.
Let's give this challenge one 5 more days since there were only 3 new entries so far.

Ok...so time has come to pass on the baton. We had two beautiful older entries from Artdillon and Hummingbird. The new entries were spectacular:

- a beautiful and graceful horse silhouette by Katidid
- a lonely wolf howling at the moon by Clrmered
- two beautiful mom and daughter elephants by Hummingbird
- and the strong voice of a bear by Fangzzz

I pass on the baton to Hummingbird for Momma and the baby.
Congrats Hummingbird, can't wait to see the new challenge theme.

Hummingbird

OK....I've seen lots of animals, wild, domesticated etc. And all kinds of birds. I have seen only one do a little Hummingbird carrying an ornament to hang on a tree. So....my challenge is Hummingbird creations
I had just dabbled again myself with them.

Sounds like a fun subject Hummingbird. I will try to get something done for it.

You need to start a new page for the Challenge. I am posting directions in case you need them.

From here, click on Community scroll to bottom of that page and click on “Start New Topic”. A box will come up to “Add Your Topic”. In the “Subject” box type in your Topic name: Challenge 132 – Hummingbird creations (or what ever you are calling it). You can type a message like what its about and when it ends ( or not) and click on “Submit Topic”.

Then we will have a place to post our pictures.
