The theme this week is by Gail's Man which is "Space Race". 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 on Wednesday and start the voting after that.
This took some deep thinking to get this one. The space race took place in Florida and I was never near the cape. So I'll race into space and show some space shots. Here is one while I was in space above the earth.
You can be in space in a small plane.
A blimp ride will take you slowly into space.
You can even take a helicopter, I don't want to take this one.
This is a cool one.
I thought of space reflected in a pond.
What I decided to show as the header is a jet high in the sky racing through space.

The theme this week is by Mac which is "Landfill". 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 on Wednesday and start the voting after that.
This was a tough one this week. It is hard to get access to a landfill in this area. I decided the only thing I could show was from outside the landfill. This is a built-up land fill where they bury the trash above the ground. Here are some shots from the outside of the fence.

There is no beauty in this place but right next to it is a Cleveland Metro Park with a lake. The trees hide the landfill at this time of year. This is what fills the land near the real landfill.

The theme this week is by Sandy which is "Falling". 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 on Wednesday and start the voting after that.
We lost an Internet friend this week. Most of you know that I previously worked on Sky Watch Friday and My World. The head of the two groups, Klaus Peter of Virtua Gallery, passed away this week. This was a complete surprise to me. Both Sandy and Mac worked with Klaus. My World was Klaus's idea. He along with some others developed this blog group. In honor of Klaus, who was a great animal photographer, I am showing some local fawn triplets. They are running without there mother. I do hope she is well.
I first saw one fawn in my back yard.
I then saw two fawns.
There were three running together right up the front lawns.
They are pretty fearless and this one came within 10 feet. I think Klaus would have enjoyed the photos.
For the theme this week I have chosen Falling into the pool. The grandsons were trying to jump through a ring in the pool. Here is Matt jumping onto a float.
Soccer boy goes butt first.
The header photo is of Matt hitting the mark as he Falls through the ring. See what the others have shown above.
The theme this week is by Dave which is "Literature". 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 on Wednesday and start the voting after that.
The theme this week leaves you with a lot of directions to go. I thought I would take two pieces of litature and show you what I came through with the ideas behind them.
The first is "A River Runs Through It" by Norman McClean. It is a story of a Montana life (and fishing a river for trout). My favorite line is "Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters." My photos for this movie comes from the Cuyahoga River that runs through Kent, Ohio.
This is the Main Street Bridge, as a river runs through it.
A Wide view.
Here are some other river photos.
Here are some of the river rocks. Are the words of man hidden underneath?
I chose a play by Ernest Thompson, which I enjoyed, "On Golden Pond". The story of an aging family and life with a youngster. Yes, fishing is involved on the Maine lake. Both my choices were made into movies which I have enjoyed. The lake I fish had a glow from the Sun this morning and I used it for my header.
See what the others have from the above links.
The theme this week is by Lanny which is "Greetings". 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 on Wednesday and start the voting after that.
This was a tough theme for me. It took a lot of thinking on what to show. I finally decided on this greeting between my granddaughter and her friend. She was getting ready for some target practice. 
My grandson's giving a greeting.
Colleen and Marty sharing a greeting.
I decided the Greeting on this sign for my header. Here is a close-up on the greeting on the sign just off our front porch.
You can see what the others have shown above.
