Taken for the Sunday Challenge: Grey Idiom: Tickling the ivories is a colloquial expression for playing the piano. This phrase references a light touch (tickling) to a piano's keys, which were traditionally made of ivory veneer.

The challenge this week for the Sunday Challenge Group was selective lighting. I decided to photograph Scruffy, my toy Indian elephant. Not owning the proper equipment, I used a cookie box as a camera base because my tripod would not go low enough to the ground. I put a crappy flashlight with uneven lighting on the floor at a 45 degree angle to Scruffy to provide an interesting light source. SLIMG 3731

Young children, known as sweepers, are in charge of gathering these items and clearing the ice for the next skater. Most of them seemed baffled about what to do when their arms and baskets were full.
