This photo challenge is "Yard". Anything and/or everything you can find, catch, dig up, lands in, etc in the Yard; front yard, back yard, side yard, ship yard, longest yard. Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

The Rules

1. Photos must be posted to the thread in order to be considered for the challenge. No gallery images or off-site links (flickr, 500px, etc) will be accepted.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

1.5 days until start of submissions for the Yard Challenge.

Have you plotted, schemed and planned out the perfect Yard shot. Will it be a macro of a blade of grass, a freeze action of exorbitant amounts of activity or a landscape of the whole of your realm?

Zac spent most of his young life standing in a riverway at our favorite mini golf place. Don't know what he did, but one day he was placed in solitary confinement. We rescued him. He's seen better days, but then again, we all get old.

A yard-like area in my apartment complex, photographed at night.

This was composed of twenty-nine different shots, each using my 50mm lens, 20 seconds, ƒ8, ISO 100. I used Microsoft ICE to stitch the images into one large image.

This image really needs to be seen larger than the size that this forum forces it down to. A larger version is on Flickr at https://flic.kr/p/pNXD9F.
