Lundi Gras is French for "Fat Monday" followed by Mardi Gras "Fat Tuesday". Here is my offering to get you in the "Fat Spirit". Photo is a mix of prized throws one would hope to catch at a Mardi Gras Parade. Beads of all colors, shapes, and sizes. Some even with Porcelain Face Dolls as seen here, and Doubloons . Some of these Doubloons such as the solid bronze and silver are worth big bucks to some collectors, but most are made of aluminum of many colors. Have A Fat Day !

Excellent! Very nice composition, and a great idea. I really like all the detail. I can't believe it's time for Lent already! Diane

What a great shot. Would I ever like to see this as a jigsaw puzzle...it would be a blast to assemble. Wonderful topic, wonderful colors, on and on and on.

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Fabulous pair of shots, EJ! Color and clarity just shine!

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower, to hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. - William Blake
wow... that's an assault on my red and blue receptors... in a good way. Very nicely done. Do you know how they color the aluminum?

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Thank you for producing such a fascinating essay on this subject. This has sparked a lot of thought in me slope, and I'm looking forward to reading more.
