Weekly Photo Challenge: Unique / Sunday Post: HOPE


“A unicorn is somebody who knows they’re magical and isn’t afraid to show it.”

Brittany S. Pierce

UNICORN

I try very hard to post only high-quality photos, but I could not resist posting an awful photo I took last night with my i-phone (a great reminder to ALWAYS have a camera with you!).  We were out with friends in downtown Charleston, SC when I saw this unicorn walking along on the opposite side.  Nope, not an ad or a promotion for the store behind her.  I waited for a stop light to change and crossed over to ask her for a close-up; she happily obliged :-)

I asked her why the Unicorn head and she answered “Just for fun.”  I’m not sure if it was the current Weekly Photo Challenge, “Unique”, that prompted me to take the photos or if the moment simply demanded saving, but whatever the reason, I felt like sharing it with my friends in the blogosphere. To me, it was the definition of UNIQUE :-)

On another note, Jake’s Sunday Post this week is “HOPE”.  So, do you think she HOPED to be noticed?  Did she HOPE if she wore the head she’d feel mythical and fantastic?  Is she HOPING to “Pump up at the Planet”? Should we all HOPE that more people develop a light-hearted spirit and become willing to look ridiculous in the HOPE that they will bring a smile to someone else’s day?  I’m not sure, but I do HOPE you enjoyed this one :-)

  2. once a little girl – aged 8 – cried, because I had told her: “There are no unicorns existing anywhere…” – now I realize, I did very wrong …

  3. Lucky you Tina! I’ve always wanted to meet a Unicorn :-D

  4. Tina this was perfect…it really made me smile. I love her attitude – just for fun – I wish more did things for exactly that reason

  6. This whole scene you captured cracked me up ! Before I saw the Unicorn saw the sign ” Pump up at the Planet”. … There is a good reason I am not behind the Lens! Delightful reflection …. Hope -

  19. LOL…..that is definitely unique!

  20. Strang indeed and good timing for your photo challenge!

  21. Good one! It was fun to be with you for that one! Love her sense of humor and your always alert eye for the new and individual!

  22. This has to be my all time favorite… sometimes things find you.. just think you didn’t have to travel continents or time zones. “Unique ” and “Hope” right in front of you on King st. maybe.? The best Tina!

  23. :) That is unique! How often does one meet a unicorn in the street?! And the quote is spot on, Tina.

  24. Brillant…and never to be seen again :-)

  26. Thank God for the iPhone. Maybe you need to upgrade to the 5. In any event, like a good reporter, you were on the scene and brought home the visual bacon, or, in this case, a unicorn.

  27. I HOPE she won her bet!
