Here is a Bird of Paradise, I really enjoy this flower.

This was a different color.

This was a Curved Billed Thrasher, it looks like it caught something tasty.

This was a little wren on a building.

There was a great White Egret that frequented a pond near my daughter's house.

This was a Guinea Fowl that ran with the Peacocks.

I'm pleased to share some more photos from Mexico. This is the city of Leon, Mexico - population of 1,000,000 people. I was on an overlook with a neat sky.

Looking back I was near a church on a hill. What a neat structure and many people make a pilgrimage to the top of the hill. 

But this is the real view of the church and all the communication devices. It definitely takes away from the beauty.

This was a neat cloud that I thought looked like a fish surely ready to bite. it was in my daughters back yard. What do you think?

See a lot of other great skies above.

Header Competition # 33 - Trees

The header theme this week by Tom W. and is "Trees". Mac,Tom, Darla, Gail's Man and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. Martha is on a break.

How could I show trees without including my Ohio Buckeye Tree.

Lake Hodgson was quite beautiful and tree lined.

My final choice was a Spanish Moss covered tree from Mexico. The Peacock may have had some influence on me having this photo and my header. 

Check out the other headers for some neat trees.

Guanajauto, Mexico - The capitol city of the state of Guanajuato. I took this photo from the statue of the freedom fighter El Pipilia (Pepe).

I loved this hedge in front of the church. It turned out to be trees.

This is a close-up of the statue.

This is from the town looking back up to the statue from the same church.

Here is a view of the front of the church.

I have been to wonderful places for a photographer in My World.

Header Competition # 31 - Car Mascots

The header theme this week by Gail's Man and is "Car Mascot". Mac,Tom, Darla, Gail's Man and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. Martha is on a break. I will be out of town for a week for my granddaughters high school graduation. Sorry if I don't get back to you.

This week was a little tougher then most. The more I looked the less I saw, nothing was showing up. I liked this window decoration on the rear window of a Ford F-150.

The one I chose was the only one I found that fit the bill. I took the photo with the people in the car as I drove by. The writing is from the parking lot marker. I bet they wonder what I was doing. Doggie, frogs, flag and peace. Quite the combination of mascots. I liked the reflection on the trunk.

Austria was a beautiful country and we went to Salzburg for the final concert. There was so much to see. This is a music loving area and there was a great turn-out to see the Shaker Heights Band perform. This is a view of the old city.

This castle on the hill was so neat.

The house in which Mozart was a youngster was held in high esteem.

The band had some polka fun with the people. 

Proud Mom and Dad, my son the director was given a plaque for the performance.

Go visit around the world above.

I was at the doctors for a check-up and a emergency helicopter was just lifting off. The sky was bland but the copter was neat.

The wife and I stopped at the grocery story and this was the sky that greeted us as we walked out the door. I thought it was amazing with all the color in the Sunset. 

See a lot of great skies above.

I take you to a view of my favorite umbrella which is on my deck. Stop over some time and we will sit and enjoy a drink in the shade. The waning Moon can be seen above the umbrella this morning.

I chose the view of the deck umbrella and yard for my main post. We should play a game of Corn Hole or Volleyball while your here.

My travels through Europe brought me to Munich, Germany. We visited the Marienplatz. This was a photographers dream with very special architecture. I do love all the towers.

How could I resist a fountain honoring the fish.

The Neues Rathaus (New City Hall) was just outstanding. 

Here is the famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel. It was really beautiful. They did have it protected with wire mesh.

You can see a lot of different worlds above.
