Our World - Pictures in an exhibition

I submitted some of my photos to the Great Frederick Fair for exhibition. The bridge (above) and the fountain (below, left) were judged second in class. Both were posted on my blogs previously.

Just some of the photos in the adult, color section.

Header Challenge - Shadows

 

I chose shadows for the theme this week. As the sun makes its way south for the winter, the shadows change. The shadows on the cat in my header and the owl are not possible in the middle of summer, but the morning sun is once again shining in our rear patio door. See the other challengers headers by following the links in my sidebar.

Our World - Pictures for exhibition

I submitted some of my images to the Frederick County Fair for exhibition this year. There have been some great photos exhibited in past years.

When the Fair opens on Friday, this building will be filled with photos, works of art, sewing, and cooking entries.

Frames for hanging photos, art or hand made items.

A few of the early folks with their entries.

Sky Watch - And the clouds kept coming

 We had a cloudy first two days of September.

Header Challenge - E Pluribus Unum

meaning "out of many, one" was Christine's theme for this week. The motto chosen by our early leaders united the several colonies and numerous heritages as one nation. A trip to Washington, DC may have yielded some excellent images to illustrate the motto. (Or maybe not as the democrats and republicans continue to differ on the best approach to also everything.) My header is out of many threads (and stitches) a flower appears on a pillow sham. Some other examples are below.

Our World - Small critters

This grasshopper came knocking at our patio door. I think it was trying to escape the heat.

 

 

And later I found a little frog in the grass.
