So many meanings to the word Strain, right? So this week, we're taking it with a
smile... just having fun here. Don't take us seriously *s*...

To Lorien, Strain means "difficulty that causes worry or emotional tension,
stress". Now look at this face... Is he a nervous looking dude, or what? *s*. That
was a wooden mask hanging on the walls of the indoor Devonian Gardens in
Downtown Calgary.

And what's Strain to Joe? "alteration in the shape or dimensions of an object as a
result of the application of stress to it"... Mmm... so he takes a shot of the wife......
who's working out *s*.

love em both. That muscle will surely strain. And I like the sepia treatment on both.

Now my turn to go to the gym.

That mask looks like it should be on top of a totem pole! Five pound strain, I bet you
could hit a golf ball a mile!
