I've seen, and been inspired by, many "photo a day" projects, so I thought I'd try one myself, with my own little grammarian spin: create a photo using a Word of the Day gadget on my Google homepage for guidance and inspiration. And what better day than January 27, my thirtieth birthday, to begin such an undertaking? (Okay, maybe new year's day, but I was too lazy to bother then.) This project is also to help keep me thinking and creating images the way DGrin's Last Photographer Standing contest has challenged me to do--a challenge I've found really enjoyable and creatively stimulating. Wish me luck (and perseverance) in this endeavor!

I used to have a large padlock. I have no idea where it's gone. Perhaps pinched?
What a strange word. Dictionary.com offered very little in terms of its etymology—just some conjecture. If OED fails me, I will be very disappointed ... and even more curious about this word's origins.
