(Sorry for the links, but under the challenge rules I&#8217;m only allowed to post the actual submission in my entry, and I can only enter one photo!)  And I thought the <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/2011\/06\/18\/hello-kitty\/\">photo of Tristan loving Buttercup<\/a> from the weekend was a great choice, too.  <\/p>\n<p>Sadly, I had to choose just one. Since it was a challenge inspired by Father&#8217;s Day, and since this picture hangs as a canvas in a place of honour in the living room, it seemed like a pretty good choice.  (Maybe one of these days I&#8217;ll get around to photoshopping Lucas in there, too!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/5577417173\/\" title=\"98:365 My menfolk by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5171\/5577417173_195abe2514.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" alt=\"98:365 My menfolk\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out this week&#8217;s entries, and if it&#8217;s before 9 pm CDT on Tuesday, you can play along, too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iheartfaces.com\/2011\/06\/fathers-day-photo-challenge\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/I-Heart-Faces-button.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"I-Heart-Faces-button\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5530\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/I-Heart-Faces-button.jpg 160w, http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/I-Heart-Faces-button-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 85vw, 160px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure you can imagine my delight when I saw that this week&#8217;s I Heart Faces photography challenge: Let&#8217;s hear it for the boys.
