And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Since drops are considered to be in motion - I'll enter this one. It is an image I have been thinking about for a while called 'Cell Phone'. I am not sure it is right yet, but here is the latest version taken this afternoon

I think it's an excellent idea. Might want to smooth out the rough edges on drops. Maybe make more of a rounder bevel on them.MHO Works for me!....Added to Challenge page

Thanks Doug for the sugestion - always welcome. I'll have to think how I can smooth out drops :( The glass is not entirely clean beacuse I was trying to get larger drops to shoot at a more oblique angle and not suceeded in getting phone in all drops like that or dof right. Thinks maybe some glycerin in the water for the drops :)
