Sunday Challenge: Take a photo of something that you have in your bathroom. It can be a fixture, a faucet, a soap bubble, an objet d'art, tile or even yourself coming out of the shower, provided that it is family friendly. You can make make it a more interesting photo by shooting it at an angle or shooting only a portion of the object to emphasize its shape. Get creative and show what you can do with a mundane topic.

Our shower surround is made out of frosted, textured glass. This provided an opportunity for an unusual portrait without the need for computer manipulation. My husband was kind enough to consent to be the model.

Romanechite is a hydrated barium manganese oxide mineral that is frequently mined in a bubbly mass form. It was first discovered in France, but is also mined in Germany, France, India, Mexico, and the United States. It is used to make steel and sodium batteries.

"Some saguaros grow in rare formations called a cristate, or "crested" saguaro. This growth formation is believed to be found in one in roughly 10,000 saguaros, with 2,743 known crested saguaros documented. The crest formation, caused by fasciation, creates a seam of abnormal growth along the top or top of the arm of the saguaro."

A photograph of a branch with leaves of this unusual tree.

Native to Argentina and Chile, the leaves of this tree are sharp, triangular and scale-like and cover most of the branches. The tree can live to be more than 1,000 years old and does not produce seeds until it is at least 30 years old. It can grow up to 130 feet tall.
