Header Competition Season 3 # 20 - "Leap "

The theme this week by Dave which  is "Leap". Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. Dave chose Leap for this Leap Day.

 I  thought of a picnic last year when the grandsons were having a leaping contest into the pool.  I was a ways away in the shade but got some interesting shots. Matt did most of the leaps.

Here he is leaping into a tube.

Here is another leap.

Super G leaping into the water.

This leap going bottom first into the tube.

I chose this shot as Matt leaps toward his target. i hope you enjoyed all the leaps.

Header Competition Season 3 # 19 - "Blue "

The theme this week by me  is "Blue". Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. I thought this theme could go one of two ways. The color "Blue" or how we are feeling in this winter season.

 I decided to go with the color Blue but what to show. I thought at first to get a blue house. I found several and liked this one best.

This one had some neat windows.

This one had a blue garage along side.

I stopped at Brady Lake to get this blue dock on a blue lake and the blue sky.

One of the fawn triplets in a snow storm that looked very blue.

The neighbors are moving so I got this Sea Turtle on the U-Haul truck.

What I chose was the blue sailboat sitting on its winter trailer with the red, white and blue flying behind.

Header Competition Season 3 # 18 - "Let's Get Out of Here "

The theme this week by Gail's Man  is "Let's Get Out of Here". Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. 

 Let's get out of this northern snow and head to Florida. While I visited this southern climate I saw my first Florida Gopher Tortoise crossing the road. We stopped and I followed it into the landscape. Unlike the chicken the tortoise has a reason for crossing the road and I'll show you why.

Get off the road tortoise.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I see.

Now I know why you are called a gopher tortoise. 

Underground you go just like a gopher but a lot slower.


I chose this for the header from above in a wider format.

Header Competition Season 3 # 16 - "Simply Light"

The theme this week by Mac is "Simply Light". Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. 

 I was surprised (last weeks theme) to see this one from Mac. It is pretty wide open so what do I show?


I thought of our newly redesigned kitchen/dining room and the new lights we have.

This one is in the kitchen over the sink.

We went to a new Kent eatery called Laziza. It has Lebanese food. It has a lot of lights. It is in Acorn Alley II as downtown Kent continues to expand.

It has a nice decor.

This wall mural is neat.

So I chose this photo from the upper level to show the simply light look of the place.
