Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
I like the splendid white facade well, this type of home, very indoors.

@Siam: Thanks Siam, I appreciate it :)
@Kylie Greenan: Nope I was just making a joke about the mattresses outside ;)
@Betty: Thanks a lot Betty ;)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
From the look of the little bit of walk, that 'bed' might be just a wee bit damp! No thanks, I'll pass. ;D
You manage to find the most unique sites ... great capture!

@Judy: I don't know why it just struck my funny bone...lol thanks Judy :)
@JoeB: Hey, neat idea, not on my lawn lol ;)
@Marcie: thanks a lot Marcie ;)
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Ok... you know what you mean... "if you behave badly, you sleep outside with the dog!!" :)
Nice shot and colors!
12 Sep 2008 11:55am
@Rui: LOL rui, my first thought was that with the air conditionning on I can imagine someone complaining that it's too cold in the house, I saw the air conditionner I saw the mattress and I thought of it ;)
@Janice Thomson: ;) couldn't help myself sweetie ...
@GJC: or could be wifey ? ;)
@Eleftheria!: Thanks a lot E. :)

12 Sep 2008 4:05pm
@tyan: right now the mattresses with be soaked ;)
laughingwolf from Canada

@Daryl: Yeah I'm a tough mother! get you in shape in no time!!!
@MontereyJohn: I have a weird sense of humour John :)
Arlene from United States
Well, like Judy wrote, the bed might be a bit damp, but if it isn't, camping in one's backyard (?) seems like a highly fun idea. I wonder what is to the left of the bed. Maybe some fun structure?
12 Sep 2008 6:20pm
@Arlene: MAybe some bed thingies Arlene ;)
Arlene from United States
Oooops, now I notice the number. This is the front yard. So maybe the mattress is being given away or a significant other is being tossed out. This is fun. One can imagine so many different stories.
12 Sep 2008 6:22pm
@Arlene: I thought it was funny, and seeing the air conditionner, I just put my own spin on it ;)
Namaki from Bordeaux, France
nice and funny ... but ! if it was in the States it might not be so funny !
12 Sep 2008 6:49pm
@Namaki: I have an unusual sense of wonder....I mean humour, thanks for the visit Namaki :)
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
hehe -- this reminds me of Jordan (not visually) but the idea that you can just take your pillow and sleep out under the stars -- what a great concept! a very humorous shot here Lorraine!
12 Sep 2008 7:35pm
@dj.tigersprout: Me? oh no never lol It just struck me as funny, you know, air conditioning upstairs, matttresses outside, I reach weird conclusion thanks Dj ;)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
The rent's the right price no doubt, Lorraine. Fresh air too. Nice one.
12 Sep 2008 7:46pm
@Michael Skorulski: As long as they're quiet, I won't bother them ;)
kathy from Indianapolis, United States
If not for the title, I would have thought this was your newest flower "bed"! I guess it doesn't do to complain at your house...if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy!
12 Sep 2008 11:13pm
@kathy: lol not mine! my minds jumps to funny conclusions, mattress outside, air conditionner on too high,you know...
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
I see you're sleeping on the lawn again lol :) Interesting shot Lorraine, I wonder what happened there.
13 Sep 2008 12:41am
@Observing: My guess Mike, garbage, but you know I saw the air conditioner upstairs, mattresses on the ground, pops in a joke, I snap and shoot :) that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Cozy capture, outdoor camping at it's best. Lovely home too.
Actually in areas that have earthquakes this would not be an unusual scene.
With after shocks many sleep outdoors.
Forgive me if I am not commenting right away, connection issues prevent me to surf around.
I was lucky to get here now. Spoke with my ISP today, hope to have it resolved VERY SOON I told them.
Thank you for all of your recent comments.

@Barbara: No worries Barb, visit when you can, this photo is really a joke...
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Like other previous pictures the houses made in wood are typical from Canada. Rubbish mattresses?
13 Sep 2008 1:14am
@akarui: I'm assuming, since it's not there anymore, thanks Olivier :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Great new Canadian way to sleep under the stars, Lorraine?

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
A great image, Lorraine. I'm impressed by how you saw the potential here, and how it's turned out so well.
13 Sep 2008 9:17am
@Andrew Gould: Truthfully Andrew, I thought the joke had potential lol thanks a lot!
