Sixth Photo Meme

December 1, 2008 By Carole

Sandy tagged me for the Sixth Picture Meme and I’m so glad she did.

The rules:

* Go to your Sixth Picture Folder then pick your Sixth Picture.
* Pray that you remember the details.
* Tag 5 others.

I knew this could be an interesting experiment and I was right. Here is my sixth folder’s sixth picture:

I took this photo last month when Dale’s friend Arthur was here. You see, Arthur lives in Hawaii but he comes home to visit his mom at least once a year and he always comes to visit Dale and I, too. This last time he visited he asked us for a special favor. He asked us to go bowling with him. It seems his friends in Hawaii have never heard of candlepin bowling and he wanted to bring home some photos to show them that yes, there really are teeny tiny bowling balls and tall skinny bowling pins.

I was happy to bring my camera along and take some photos of moving objects. I learned a few new things about shutter speed and aperture that night and we had a lot of laughs while bowling, too.

I’m betting some of you have never heard of candle pin bowling either. I think it’s pretty cool that playing along with this meme is also educational to my readers. I’m just here to serve, after all.

    It never quite seemed….right. Too small of everything.

  2. Manise says

    That’s the kind of bowling we have here! I prefer the smaller ball.

    Masshole that I am, I have NEVER gone regular big-ball bowling in my life – only candlepin.

    I went big-ball or regular bowling for the first time in college. It seemed like cheating somehow.

    Great picture!

  6. margene says

    You learn something every day. Look how tiny the balls are!

    So, is candlestick bowling the same as duckpins? It’s been so long i don’t remember exactly what the pins looked like.

  8. Kim says

    December 1, 2008 at 7:57 am

    I loved playing candlepin when I was young….it was fun. I haven’t played though in YEARS.

  9. Beth says

    December 1, 2008 at 8:12 am

    Is candlepin bowling harder or easier than regular bowling? It looks like fun!

  10. maryse says

    December 1, 2008 at 8:14 am

    i grew up playing big ball bowling (heh big balls) — kid birthday parties and such — and i’m lousy at it. i’ve only been candlepin bowling a couple of times and i’m much better at it.

  11. Chris says

    December 1, 2008 at 8:38 am

    Dang. Those are some skinny pins!

    I can’t even figure out which is my 6th picture folder.

    Never heard of it, until now. How interesting!

    a nice reminder of my younger days in Mass.
    thanks!

    I’ve never seen thast before. The pins look weird.

  15. Nora says

    What a hoot! I’m partial to bumper bowling, myself…

    😉

    My grandfather always used to swear that 10-pin bowling required no skill, but that candlestick and duckpin bowling needed a much finer touch.

  17. Imbrium says

    December 1, 2008 at 11:19 am

    So…bowling, but harder! Just what I need! 😉

    I’d never heard of candlepin bowling before – thanks for the link!

  18. Susanne says

    December 1, 2008 at 11:25 am

    FYI – A Canadian fact…we don’t commonly have 10 pin bowling here. We call our bowling 5pin….neat eh???

  19. Sara says

    December 1, 2008 at 11:35 am

    I had never heard of candle pin bowling until I moved here to NH – I think it is really cool!

  20. Catie says

    December 1, 2008 at 11:49 am

    Heard of it? Yup.
    Seen it? Ever? Nope!
    I did once see Kegeln, which I believe is a German equivalent -small balls, no holes, little pins…

  21. claudia says

    December 1, 2008 at 11:53 am

    I didn’t know about candlepin bowling…until now!

  22. Kelli says

    December 1, 2008 at 12:04 pm

    Never, until this moment, had I heard of candlepin bowling. Of the regular kind, I am quite familiar with gutter balls. 🙂

  23. Jean says

    December 1, 2008 at 12:49 pm

    That’s a very cool shot! I forgot to tag five others in mine. Dang it.

  24. susan says

    December 1, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    Oh, how I *heart* candlepin bowling. I haven’t done it in decades. Maybe next time I come to MA???

  25. Karen says

    December 1, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    I haven’t done that in years. I have a hard enough time hitting regular pins with big balls though.

  26. Risa says

    December 1, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    while we don’t have candlepin bowling here, we’ve got that regular 10-pin stuff. I much prefer candlepin. those balls are far easier to throw then my 11+ pounder. My ex and I made sure we went candlepin bowling each time we were in Boston.

  27. Doris says

    December 1, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    We don’t have candlepin powling here in Baltimore, but we have duckpin bowling. Same shape pins as ten pins (which we also have) but they are smaller. And the balls look to be about the size for candlepins, as they are smaller that ten pin balls too. I think duck pins takes more skill that ten pins (candlepins probably does too), as the pinsa are farther apart and the balls have no set grip spots. But for me it is actually easier, because the balls aren’ nearly so heavy.

  28. Cookie says

    December 1, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    Who knew?!

  29. kmkat says

    December 1, 2008 at 3:57 pm

    Nope, never heard of it, but it sounds fun. Lighter balls would be easier on the hands.

  30. Brenda says

    December 1, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    I grew up with it. I even watched Candlepins for Cash with Bob Gamere (he pronounced it Gameah) when I was a kid. Am I dating myself?

  31. Robin in VA says

    December 1, 2008 at 8:43 pm

    I’ve never bowled “candlepins” before, actually only faintly remember any reference to it. Looks like fun. If you don’t mind I’d like to post mine later this week!

  32. Teyani says

    December 2, 2008 at 1:24 am

    I thought that was only a New England thing 😉
    I’ve never seen it any of the other places I have lived around the country.

  33. JessaLu says

    I’ve heard of it…but I’ve never done it. ;o)
