Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, July 5, 2008 is POINTED.

My son Julian asked me a while ago if pointed means sharp. I said yes and I wondered why he asked me that. It was because he wanted to show me that he sharpened his pencil and that it is both pointed and sharp. He asked me too if I can take a photograph of the said pencil but I had to say “No, maybe next time” because both pairs of camera batteries needed to be charged.

So here are photos from my files that show things that are pointed:

Who wouldn’t be able to recognize this three-pointed emblem? A sign of opulence and comfort, superb performance and powerful engine. Of course, Mercedes Benz. No, not our car, I took that photo from a car show :D

Pointed antennas on buildings with lights on top. The building on the left with yellow lights is where my hubby used to work with a telecom-related company. This is also the area where I teach.

I love to use (and I love the smell) of newly-opened crayons with pointed tips.

Pointed tip of a red chili.

I remember several bloggers asked me before what camera I use for my photos. I only have one camera and this is a Canon Powershot camera. I use the pattern program mode, and seldom use flash. I am hoping to get another camera when the time is right. Of course, its going to be the same brand too.

Hi Julie. Great choices for the theme. I think it’s sweet that Julian tries to help you with your photo hunt.

Cool and prestigious emblem. I love the city lights at night.

Very nice photos. Being a chili-head, I particularly like the red chili (an ornamental bird chili, perhaps?).

As a retired teacher…I can relate to the smell of crayons and the thrill of new supplies at the beginning of each year.
Enjoyed all your photos. Thanks for visiting mine.

Have a great weekend.

YOu always have great photos Julie. I have a Canon powershot A620 but what is the pattern mode? Do I have it I wonder? I should explore my camera more. I try not to use flash too as it give a totally different colour.

Wonderful series… pattern mode, eh… will have to look at that. I can only think of one thing to improve this post… a shot of your boy’s pencil :-)

They are so easy to please… usually ;-)
