"Tell a Story"

The theme this week is "Tell a Story" by Kathy.  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.

In 1961 10 Black Squirrels were brought from Canada to Kent State University. They brought 10 more later and they were very successful. It now the most prevalent squirrel in Kent, Ohio. Here is one in the Ohio Buckeye Tree in my front yard. They have expanded throughout Portage and Summit Counties.

The second most prevalent is the Eastern Gray Squirrel. They live side by side and get along well.

The rarer Fox Squirrel live in the more open golf course areas of Kent. They have been completely chased out of Kent State University.

The Red Squirrel is in the county but I have never seen on in Kent. I saw this one at Herrick's Fenn which is owned by Kent State.

Here is a Black Squirrels on my back deck.

The Black Squirrels are aggressive and hit the bird feeders and knocks the feed to the ground.

"FALL COLORS"

The theme this week is "FALL" by Lew.  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.

It seems appropriate that the theme falls on the first day of Fall in 2015. I was on the lake today and hints of Fall Colors are starting to appear. See the reflection in the lake.

 The peak color will be in a few weeks and it will be much brighter.

There are some neat spots along the shore.

It is just the start of Fall and cooler weather.

Soon the boats will be covered with leave.

A show will soon begin, as you can see it is still very summery on the lake.

"FIFTY"

The theme this week is "Fifty" by Christine.  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. Mac is leaving for two weeks on vacation.

Being an Engineer I tend to take things literally. My first thought was the new Fifty Dollar bill. It has many safety features , some you can see and some you can't. President Grant is the main feature.

The old fifty looks pretty plain when compared to the new one. 

Two quarters adds up to fifty cents. I just happened to have an Ohio quarter in my pocket.

I also had a Maryland quarter in my pocket posted for Lew.

You can also get fifty in change, a quarter two dimes and a nickle. I certainly had a variety of change in my pocket.

"Away Day lol"

The theme this week is "Away Day lol" by Mac.  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. Mac is leaving for three weeks so he picked this crazy theme.

I had a pair of fawns come into the yard and this pose said to me quit taking my photo or away I go. Another thought is the spots are going away.

 They come out of the woods and feed on my grass.

One looks a lot older then the other because it is losing it's spots.a

They stayed and feed for quite a while.

Someone was bothering them. (me?)

Well, we are staying at my daughters with our bathroom being redone. This is a beautiful morning view to the lake.

I am raising some yellow tomatoes this year, love them.

Capturing a wild strawberry, tasteless.

A Bumble Bee gathering some nectar.

A Fly, oh my.

This is a capture from my TV from the "Need For Speed" Movie.
