The theme this week is by Gail's Man which is "Fast". Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that.
"Fast" is something that you have to capture quickly. But when I think of Fast I think of the famous race between the tortoise and the hare. They had the race and the Fast hare didn't do so well. Here is a rabbit (hare) eating the grass in the back yard.
The slow tortoise did eventually win the race. Here is a turtle at the lake on Tuesday. I saw five turtles (tortoise) on the logs sunning themselves.
We got really close to this one and fished right beside it.
The fast I decided to show is the Hooded Merganser a small diving duck. They are really wary and very hard to approach. They either dive under or take off with great speed. They are a very fast on wing. This is the best I could do with a fly-by shot. I love the coloring on the white colored male merganser.

The theme this week is by Mac which is "Fountain". Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that. Some will post late this week so they may post by Friday.
"Fountain" is an interesting subject. My favorite photo is my wife and the "Sound of Music" fountain at Salzburg, Austria.
I have used it before so I needed another fountain. I decided on the Soda Fountain at Vermilion, Ohio. It is a fun little place that we stopped and had a root beer float.
I took a photo of the two of us at the soda bar.
We have gone to the soda fountain at Hershey, PA back in the 70's and it was cool. This on is really neat with a lot of nostalgia throughout the place.

The theme this week is by Sandy which is "Fire". Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that.
"Fire" is an interesting subject. I first thought of going of the grid and showing the fire that the Forsythia Bush shows. It even has a fire hydrant right in front of the line of bushes.
I love this little bloom and the way it lights up the stem.
Instead I decided to stay in the box and show some bond fires I have captured.
The smoke always follows me but I love a crackling fire.
And this view of the FIRE I chose for my header was my favorite.

The theme this week is by Dave and is "Flight". Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that.
"Flight" is a great subject. I enjoy watching flight. You can capture a Mallard Duck as it starts its flight.
Or an Osprey as it fishes.
I enjoy the Great Blue Heron as it flies by.
Flight can also be about planes as they fly in formation.
Or that single jet as it goes by at a high altitude.
But my favorite is the seagull on wing in all its beauty so I chose it as my header to show "Flight".
