Spring Is Coming

The theme this week by Lew is "Spring Is Coming". Mac, Kathy, Craver, 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. 

Well, Spring is coming and so are the flowering bushes. This is a azalea that is at my daughters boyfriends house. It was full of blooms.

 Can you believe how many blooms there are.

It is a beautiful Spring flower.

The other flowering bush is a Rhododendron. It is a beauty also.

It is a beautiful sign of Spring.

I went in for a close view of the flower.

Along with Spring comes another birthday for my father-in-law Gene Pisella. He just turned 100 and he lives alone and still drives in the daytime.. My wife enjoyed her time with him.

Almost Perfect

The theme this week by Christine is "Almost Perfect". Mac, Kathy, Craver, 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. Christine gave us a challenge to show a photo that was almost perfect except there was a problem with what was shown,

Well the circle of life was shown in this photo. I always thought it would have been perfect if the garter snake hadn't squeezed the guts out of the toad.

This was a cool photo except for the dead flowers.

What is this I'm seeing through the garden  fence. Certainly a fun shot through the fence.

Here it is again through the trees. I wish the face came out better.

Why did the camera focus on the branches. I wanted to focus on the fawn. It was almost perfect.

The Shape of Art

The theme this week by Mac is "The Shape of Art". Mac, Kathy, Craver, 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. Whoops, I lost a day. I got up this morning thinking it was Wednesday. Surprise, it's Thursday and I'm late. Sorry my friends.

When I think of art I think of the art in Munich, Germany. Everywhere you look you see art shapes. This statue was interesting with the ruler and the lions. 

The first thing I saw was this arch at the city entrance.

We parked in front of this line of statues.

This was a fish fountain. I had to show this shape.

Here is Mary and baby Jesus atop a church.

This is a famous colorful clock.

The buildings have such great shapes.

"Thinking"

The theme this week by Craver is "Thinking". Mac, Kathy, Craver, 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 had to do a lot of thinking about this one. What was Craver thinkig about when he came up with this one? We have a college in my town where there is a lot of thinking being done. So I thought how do you think? Well, you think with your brain. Here is a sculpture on campus of a big brain.

It is directly beside the road through campus.

You should be able to do a lot of thinking with a brain this size.

Whats Up There In the Sky?

The theme this week by me is "What's Up There In the Sky?". Mac, Kathy, Craver, 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. 

Do you look to the sky to find what's up above you? Well, if you are in Ohio you may see the Goodyear Blimp doing a test flight. Here it is in Stow flying above the Kohl's  building. If you are there on the right day you may be surprised.

Here is a fellow Buckeye on a flying wing. You need this motor to keep running or you have a problem.

You might see a hot air balloon on a sunny day up in the sky. 

Look up to see the full moon at night.

Here's an emergency in the sky with a life flight.

How about those contrails in the sky. What's in front of them.

You might not look so high and see the electrical workers tying in some street lights.

From the Ground

The theme this week by Kathy is "From the Ground". Mac, Kathy, Craver, 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. The only features we have from the ground is snow right now in Ohio. In a few months we will have other features from the ground.

 The first attraction I see from the ground is the purple crocus. The bees enjoy this occurrence.

This is a flowering bush that came from the ground in Mexico. It put on a beautiful show. 

The peonies are another great show from the ground.

Here is a daffodil that put on a great show. 

This yellow tulip put on a bright display.

The fish are biting when these trees put on their flowering show from the ground.
