Default Assignment: Relax (5 Nov - 19 Nov)

This week's assignment is "Relax". With the upcoming holiday season, there will be precious little time for it, so show us what relax means to you.

My idea of relaxing is putting up my feet


As always, don't forget the rules:

1. The image you submit should be taken between the 5 November (when it was announced - I think) and 19 November (until one of the moderators closes the the mini-contest).

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Relax" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (640px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

Next week's assignment is "Drive" You can take that anyway you like, all I'll say is that we have a great prize to give away from our friends at G-Technology! (Can you tell what it is yet?)

i've got a problem with you

The opposite of relaxation: Grump little boys.
haha Okay, this goes along with the assingment, too. My way of relaxing? Getting my little brothers to relax themselves. And taking pictures.
Take your pick.

"What's wrong there, mister grumpy gills?"
