 The theme this week by me  is "That Was A Surprise" Mac, Chris,Kathy, GailRich 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. 

Often I take a photo and say to myself "That Was A Surprise". It is fun to get that surprise. Sometimes you plan the surprise such when we were in Canada and ,because of a forest fire, we had water planes landing in the lake. What do you do with the situation, get out the camera and have Mike, my grandson, catch the plane. Surprise, he caught it.
I got to take loon shots on the lake and surprise the loon got up and spread its wings.
There was a hummingbird that landed outside the window and posed.
The biggest animal to surprise visit my backyard was a 13 point buck.
I was surprise seeing the detail in a bees wing.
I saw my first Black Crowned Night Heron and was able to capture some photos.
He was doing a nice job of posing until a surprise happened.
My choice for my surprise is when the deckhand threw a sardine in the water and the Black Crowned Night Heron dove for it. I swung the camera and here was my photo. I loved this SURPRISE!!!!!!!

Chris came up with a neat theme. You can see stripes all around you so which do you chose to share. I had to have some in the fishing theme, a fishing cat.
A striped fish decoration, a gift from my wife. 
How about some striped Zebra cakes.
Here is a striped flower.a
Next door we have a pair of flags flying.
I wonder if anyone else got a striped bus. I went to the American Legion Post to get these shots.
The stars and stripes was blowing in the wind.
I decided on the stars and stripes unfurled for my header shot.

The theme this week by Kathy  is "Best of Summer" Mac, Chris,Kathy, Gail 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 wanted to share some photos that says summer to me. Here is one for certain a channel cat that gave me a great fight on my ultralight pole this week.  I was hoping it was a big walleye.
Then I thought of my neighbors lily. It is a beauty.
The Canada Geese have grown throughout the summer.
They are almost as big as the parents and are taking flying lessons.
I could not pass up the beauty of the summer lake.
I decided to use the Water Lily as my header for the "Best of Summer".

The theme this week by Gail  is "Tatoo" Mac, Chris,Kathy, Gail 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 a little late in getting these shots, hot out of the camera. We have a few tattoo parlors in Kent and this is one in the center of town. Ask for permission and you can get some fun shots. 
These guys were the first I saw when I got to the front. They were more then willing to show off their ink, at least one of them. 
The guys inside were just as friendly.

There was another guy outside when I came back outside and you have to see his leg.
He had a neat tattoo on his leg which I'm using as my header.
