The theme this week by Lew is "Fair or Festival". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that. Mac is on a three week break.
I went to Brimfield, Ohio to check out the Brimfest. It is a small village that has a nice festival. The day started with a lot of rain so the ground was saturated. The parking lot was filled with cars and there was a lot to see. I thought the merry-go-round was the typical fair ride so I chose it as my header.
The theme this week by Christine is "Welcome Home". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.
Well Christine, how do you show Welcome Home? I had to do some real thinking to show this theme. There is one welcome home that I'm amazed with every year. The heron rookery is empty during the winter. Every Spring a lot of photographers welcome the Great Blue Herons back to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. They come back to where they were born. The building of the nest complete the males welcome the females home to the nest to lay their eggs.
They are always heading out for food.
This is a young one fledged and get ready to head for the sky.
They are on the hunt, I enjoyed this one walking a log through the swamp.
The theme this week by Craver is "Romance". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that. Christine just joined this week.
I was lucky enough to attend the wedding of one of my wives students at Kent State. Janine is a wonderful young lady and I got to watch the pro photographer take photos. I had my camera so was able to some shots showing romance after the wedding. Keith helped Janine across the grass.
The theme this week by me is "Dragonfly or Damselfly". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.
I love to photograph these little creatures in such great colors. I chose as my header a head on view of a brown dragonfly in my Ohio Buckeye Tree. It was very co-operative to allow for a head on view. You can see the eyeball looking at the camera. You can see the buckeyes on the tree behind it.
I was thinking of going with our flag colors of red,
