Continued Iowan Neighborhood Goodness

Lauren has a secret profession. She is a mushroom portrait photographer. She is quite renown in the mushroom world. All the best shrooms come to her for her art:

Candid family portrait with baby

Gritty Senior Portrait

Family Portrait (the mother is especially unfortunate looking - just sayin')

Family reunion at Aunt Polly's House

Score (list provided by Lauren, my comments are in red)

• Frog on porch shouldering the weight of the world, er... gazing ball... (how wonderfully terrible): 2 points
• Heart shaped trellis not in use as a trellis but as a fanchy schmancy butterfly schwoopy flower windchime hanger! (could not have said it better!): 2 points
• Adorable snail couple, sooooo slow... I've been driving by for days and they never seem to get anywhere! (there are pretty speedy as compared to the mushrooms): 2 points
• Last but certainly not least: Family of Mushrooms... and lantern thingys masquerading as mushrooms (the women have a tendency to go round in this family, sigh as well as mine):5 points

Mushrooms do hang out in families, as evidenced by my family portraits.

Subtotal: 11 points

Creativity Bonus

The family gathering of the mushrooms and their nearest and dearest snail friends is sweet but 2 points for the Frog Atlas.

Total: 13 points

Uncle Charlie is late again but he hopes to make it there by dessert.
