Header Competition Season 2 # 28 - "Fountain"

The theme this week is by Mac which is "Fountain".  Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that. Some will post late this week so they may post by Friday.

"Fountain" is an interesting subject. My favorite photo is my wife and the "Sound of Music" fountain at Salzburg, Austria. 

I have used it before so I needed another fountain. I decided on the Soda Fountain at Vermilion, Ohio. It is a fun little place that we stopped and had a root beer float.

I took a photo of the two of us at the soda bar.

We have gone to the soda fountain at Hershey, PA back in the 70's and it was cool. This on is really neat with a lot of nostalgia throughout the place.

Be sure to see what the others have to show when they post.

Header Competition Season 2 # 27 - "Fire"

The theme this week is by Sandy which is "Fire".  Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that.

"Fire" is an interesting subject. I first thought of going of the grid and showing the fire that the Forsythia Bush shows. It even has a fire hydrant right in front of the line of bushes.

I love this little bloom and the way it lights up the stem.

Instead I decided to stay in the box and show some bond fires I have captured.

The smoke always follows me but I love a crackling fire.

And this view of the FIRE I chose for my header was my favorite.

Header Competition Season 2 # 26 "Flight"

The theme this week is by Dave and is "Flight".  Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave,Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that.

"Flight" is a great subject. I enjoy watching flight. You can capture a Mallard Duck as it starts its flight.

Or an Osprey as it fishes.

I enjoy the Great Blue Heron as it flies by.

Flight can also be about planes as they fly in formation.

Or that single jet as it goes by at a high altitude.

But my favorite is the seagull on wing in all its beauty so I chose it as my header to show "Flight".

Header Competition Season 2 # 25 "Make Do"

The theme this week is by Lanny and is "Make Do".  Mac, Gail's Man, Lanny, Dave, Sandy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and start the voting after that.

"Make Do" why Lanny is making this contest this week wide open to interpretation.  I was thinking of using a photo of the Common Grackles "Making Do" with the feed that had fallen to the ground.

But then I saw this feeder near the deck.

Here was a House Sparrow with comfort on its mind. It was using the feeder as its house.

So I zoomed in to see it had "Made Do" with a warm spot and a bite to eat.

Darla, Martha and Tom W are on a break. Come back as soon as you are able my friends.

Red, my what to choose. A RED stop sign?

A RED Pitcher Plant from Triangle Lake in Winter? It traps bugs to eat.

A Red Cardinal on my back deck in Winter plumage. They are so bright in Winter.

A RED Cadillac on the road?

No, we took a trip across Ohio and saw a lot of Red barns. I only had to choose the one. This one had seen better days.

This one was neat with the fresh RED paint.

I finally chose this one for the header. All the barns showed up so well. All the photos from the car on were taken out the window at 70 MPH with my Canon Powershot SX100IS.

Retro is the return of the American Robin from the South.

The joining in the Spring of the Canada Geese couples is Retro.

The return of this shed to the earth is Retro in my mind.

What I decided to use for Retro is an old car from the Fourth of July parade.
