February Monthly Assignment: Goes Together (cwgrizz's choice)

February is the month we think of being the romantic month because of Valentine Day. The first thing that usually comes to mind in February is people being in love, etc. This month we want to look at things that are usually thought of as going together. This month we're looking for photos that illustrate things/words that "Go Together" ie "Salt and Pepper", "Black and White", "Old and New", etc.


IMPORTANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING:

Let's get shooting! CREATIVITY/TECHNIQUE rules in this challenge, but there are a few guidelines:

1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken using a Nikon Camera! All submissions must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by YOU!

2. If the EXIF does not show using a browser EXIF app, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is required. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.


3. Other than that, it's all up to your interpretation of the theme. Any photo will be accepted, SOOC or edited, doesn't matter.

4. Photos
must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr, Photobucket, or similar links)

5. Only THREE entries per member for each assignment. Please post entries separately (1 photo per post) and number the entry.

6. Entries will be judged by the number of likes received.

7. The top 5 shots will be displayed in a separate thread and will be displayed in no particular order.

8. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief
descriptions/titles.
Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.

As listed in other challenges, please note: NO CASH OR PRIZES will be awarded for this Monthly Assignment.

HAVE FUN!

*To clarify time for start of the assignment, it is 0000 UTC/GMT the first day of the month (similar to the weekly challenges) and ends at 23:59 UTC/GMT the last day of the month.

Edit: Rules 1 and 2 have been modified.

I REMEMBER EATING GRANDMA'S FARM BREAD JUST OUT OF THE OVEN WITH FARM-CHURNED BUTTER - :) :) :)
I know your felling. I had a grandma that made pies from scratch and baked them in the wood burning stove in her kitchen. She also made pies that were sold in the family owned drugstore in Kamas Utah. The pies actually became quit famous in the Salt Lake City area. I really miss her pies but she passed away quit a while ago.

My grandma cooked in a wood stove most of her life. When she finally got a gas stove she disliked it and kept using the old wood stove for quite a while. :)

These two cats don't really go together. Buddy, the ginger, thinks that they do. He likes Allie, the Siamese, and wants to be friends with her.

But Allie wants nothing to do with Buddy. Whenever Buddy tries to interact with her, Allie nearly always reacts in a very hostile manner.

This is a very rare instance of them being in such close proximity, without Allie making a big fuss about how much she hates Buddy.
