"Textures"

The theme this week by Mac is "Textures ".  Mac, Kathy, 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. 

Textures are all around so all you have to do is snap to have a textured photo. My house has textured ceilings so just lookup. These were made with a mop into the ceiling material.

 The textures of the fishes scales.

"Revisiting Past Headers"

The theme this week is "Revisiting Past Headers ".  Mac, Kathy, 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. 

I chose to redo the header theme from 4/8/15 "Pictures from the Past". I'm sure everyone will do this theme differently. I enjoy taking bird photos so I will show some of my favorites. I took these photos on a trip to Florida.

Here is a Great Blue Heron with a itch.

 He gave a right turn signal and then didn't move.

Here is a Great White Egret on a perch.

He was a poser.

This is a Black Crowned Night Heron I saw at a dock.

As it flew away I got this artsy capture.

I chose Looking Up  but sometimes you can take a Looking Up shot by looking down into a reflection.

You can look up into a colorful sky and see the sun or

the moon,

a helicopter,

a hot air balloon,

a blimp

or the famous Goodyear Blimp in your back yard. So keep looking up to see what is there.

I thought a Water Lily on the water spoke to the water theme. 

 Here is the bed of water lilies that shows a lot of blooms.

They are a neat flower.

We have had a lot of rain so the Cuyahoga River is running really high. The guy in the yellow was right on the edge.

I wouldn't want to fall into that flow.

A stairway with a water ending, be careful.
