The theme this week is "Favorite Animal" by me. 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 Mondays and voting begins after that.
I decided to use (big surprise) FISH as my favorite animal. After a dismal Spring things turned around as the weather got hot. I caught two Fish Ohio Award fish on 7-7. I had a great July and here are some of the highlights.
It was a 14" White Crappie and a 11" Regular Bluegill.
I brought home coolers full of fish throughout the Summer.
On 7-12 I caught a 13.5" White Crappie and a 13.25" Black Crappie.
Here is another day 7-27 with two big black Crappies over 13".
Just look at the size of these fish.
I was so happy to catch these in the heat of the Summer.
I caught 3 Small Mouth Bass during the summer. A 17", 19" (shown) and a 15" on my last trip. It was really fun to fight them and return them to the lake. These are new to the lake and growing fat on the shad.

I decided to use for my header a view of the last day on Lake Hodgson. I enjoyed the view and the color reflections in the rippling water.
As you can see we are far behind in the leave change this year with some just coming into color.
There are some neat views as the leaves start to get their color.
This is a color change at the entrance to my house.

I thought I would show a fire-pit. I enjoy the dancing flames. It has cooled off a lot in NE Ohio.
This is a decorative flower arrangement my wife made.
What time did I capture this today?

I decided to show some views from the house. After a hot Summer we went right into Fall. The trees are still green out the back looking South from the kitchen.
This is another southern view out the bedroom window.
Here is view out the bedroom window showing the Ohio Buckeye Tree looking North. Most of the leaves are gone.
Another Northern view out the front window. The Sun definitely makes a difference in the direction you are viewing.
