The theme this week by Dave which  is "Leap". Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. Dave chose Leap for this Leap Day.

 I  thought of a picnic last year when the grandsons were having a leaping contest into the pool.  I was a ways away in the shade but got some interesting shots. Matt did most of the leaps.

Here he is leaping into a tube.

Here is another leap.

Super G leaping into the water.

This leap going bottom first into the tube.

I chose this shot as Matt leaps toward his target. i hope you enjoyed all the leaps.

Header Competition Season 3 # 19 - "Blue "

The theme this week by me  is "Blue". Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. I thought this theme could go one of two ways. The color "Blue" or how we are feeling in this winter season.

 I decided to go with the color Blue but what to show. I thought at first to get a blue house. I found several and liked this one best.

This one had some neat windows.

This one had a blue garage along side.

I stopped at Brady Lake to get this blue dock on a blue lake and the blue sky.

One of the fawn triplets in a snow storm that looked very blue.

The neighbors are moving so I got this Sea Turtle on the U-Haul truck.

What I chose was the blue sailboat sitting on its winter trailer with the red, white and blue flying behind.

Header Competition Season 3 # 18 - "Let's Get Out of Here "

 Let's get out of this northern snow and head to Florida. While I visited this southern climate I saw my first Florida Gopher Tortoise crossing the road. We stopped and I followed it into the landscape. Unlike the chicken the tortoise has a reason for crossing the road and I'll show you why.

Get off the road tortoise.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I see.

Now I know why you are called a gopher tortoise. 

Underground you go just like a gopher but a lot slower.


I chose this for the header from above in a wider format.

Header Competition Season 3 # 16 - "Simply Light"

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

 I was surprised (last weeks theme) to see this one from Mac. It is pretty wide open so what do I show?


I thought of our newly redesigned kitchen/dining room and the new lights we have.

This one is in the kitchen over the sink.

We went to a new Kent eatery called Laziza. It has Lebanese food. It has a lot of lights. It is in Acorn Alley II as downtown Kent continues to expand.

It has a nice decor.

This wall mural is neat.

So I chose this photo from the upper level to show the simply light look of the place.

Header Competition Season 3 # 16 "Surprise"

Header Competition Season 3 # 16 - "Surprise"

The theme this week is by Kathy is "Surprise". She was surprised when we changed the order so came up with this theme. Mac, Gail's Man, Dave,Kathy and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT and voting begins after that. 

 I  thought this might be hard to do but several surprises came this week. 

These are the deer triplets looking surprised from a sound they heard. I had some corn out for them to snack on after all the snow cover.

This was the snow cover last week.

Surprise, here it is this week.

The mild weather has allowed the downtown construction to make surprising advancement.

Surprisingly after the snow the Hyacin are coming out of the ground,

 and so are the Tulips.

The snow allowed for some sled riding last week. The grandchildren got out for Rachel's first outing. Since she lives in a milder climate down south she doesn't see snow.

What I decided to use is G getting surprised by his sister and cousin. Watch out G. You can see more photos on my Facebook site.   http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2789624713197.129741.1635729143&type=3
