I love the Bottle Tree. It's a photographer's dream, what with the vintage album covers on the tables, old TV shows playing on the big screen, and its hilarious and very electic decor. Today's photo is a prime example. Anyone care to challenge me to a rousing game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos???

that sure brings back fun memories! no more H, H Hippo for me until grandkids arrive - I'm counting on in 10 years.
PS - the photo is lovely, evoking exactly the place you describe, marvellous shadow work.
I used to be good at Hungry Hippos. I'm game! Good photo, and I like your new banner, too.
j'aime beaucoup les ombres sur les photographies
Our family is into the game SEQUENCE. Even our grandkids can participate. There are so many good ones out there, old and new. Did you get the snow???(judging from your header shot).
Love that magical light, V.
I understand hippos can be very disagreeable when they are hungry.
I've never been to the bottle tree. It looks like the sort of place you'd like to spend the afternoon.
First .. I had to sit here and gaze long and hard at the new header photo .. awesome V... and the shadows on this game post .. if you dare to whine today I will give you such a smack!
No, but I vaguely remember Stratego.
Hiker,
Well I'm sure not going to take on this crowd in Scrabble! :)
Olivier,
Merci, moi aussi. Les ombres est trés belle au le Bottle Tree! ( I'm sure mon francais est trés mal!!! )
Daryl,
Actually the header shot is a big fat overexposed little number that actually worked! HA
Steviewren,
And if you are a vegand by any chance, their menu will make you very happy as well!
Bibi,
you're on!
B2, Yes I've heard that too!
Tash and Bratt,
The shadows that afternoon were amazing. I have one more left I've not shown you. I'm headed back next Friday to meet friends and will see what else i can find.
Lori,
I've seen that game and wondered. Maybe I'll buy it to have here for the kiddos when they come.
Virginia,
Such a pleasure to meet you last night at Pam's! I'm glad I can now move from the "blog stalker" category to "acquaintance". :) Merry Christmas - hope our paths cross again soon!

Hungry, Hungry Hippos??? I'm speechless!!! I'm so out of the loop!!! Now, mention Candy Land, Parchesi, Scrabble, Clue, Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit and I'm there!!!!
Yea, you got it V!
Hungry, Hungry Hippos? Never heard of it. Must have been before my time! Heh. Heh!
I've heard of Scrabble and Checkers, though.
What, no 8 track players? I'd love to play you a match at hungry hungry hippos. Shall we play for vino? Looser buys the bottle to share.
What a rich photo!
Aloha, Friend!

Great subject and lighting!

This is a SUPERB shot!
