I'll be pulling my hair out searching for these roots you speak of...

Giant turnips don't count...

Damn Spider pig

I've made a picture for this during our holidays... let's just hope I didn't forget it in Lower Saxony...

Yikes, I'll be away from Thursday onwards, does anyone mind if we delay the end date 'till September 3rd ?

Damn Spider pig

No worries. I've lost my camera lead so can't take any pictures off it until I find or replace it. And I haven't even started thinking about roots yet...

oh, Rinso, that sucks ! Lost somewhere you might find it again or lost possibly gone for good ?

Damn Spider pig

Might be round a friends house. It's really frustrating becuase my card is full so i can't take any more pictures until it's back or unless i start deteleting.

Ok, well, here's mine then...

Damn Spider pig

And here is my entry.
This is my father's hand, holding my daughter's hand.

(By the way, the rest of him looks somewhat younger than his hands... )

Here are my roots:

Loving Hsing.

wow hsing, that's just beautiful !

Damn Spider pig

Thanks, all.

So... is this competition closed, or should it be prolonged due to general summer absence-ness?

I wouldn't mind to see a few more pictures, and all our usual competitioners except for the three of us seem to be absent or technically handicapped.
