Cee challenges us to find pictures of eyes for her Fun Foto Challenge this week. Seeing out of these eyes might be a challenge in itself.
David from The Skeptic Kaddish invites us to create poetry together. The photographs inspired the poem on the topic of poverty, which is another challenging new form for me.

Poverty in the Making
