PhotoHunt - Playing in the park

The kids (and adults too) were having a grand time in Baker Park last weekend! The weather has been more like late spring this week.

PhotoHunt - Rain drops . . .

waiting to drip.

(Color, contrast and brightness enhanced to highlight the drops.)

PhotoHunt - Loud fireworks

I don't have the sound but these fireworks were loud. For the history buffs, these fireworks were in celebration of the inauguration of Ronald Reagan in January, 1981.For the photogs, shots were taken with 35mm Ektachrome slide film and scanned this week with my Ion Omni Scan received as a Christmas gift (Thanks again Susan!).

PhotoHunt - View from Glacier Point

Above Half Dome in b&w. Below Vernal and Nevada Falls. Both taken during our visit to Yosemite in June, 1990 and scanned from film.

PhotoHunt - Cold heart, warm feelings

The City of Frederick celebrates the first Saturday of the month with businesses open late and events along the streets. For February ice sculptures and valentines were the theme. Happy valentines day to all you photohunters.

PhotoHunt - Flat snow

About ten days ago we had a little bit of snow. Shortly after I took this picture the flat overhanging snow broke and fell to the ground.

PhotoHunt - Fluffy clouds

PhotoHunt - Blissful train fan

There is nothing like the bliss experienced by a child at Christmas. Our grandson loves trains and blissfully watched the train circling under our tree. (Photo taken near bedtime Christmas eve.)

PhotoHunt - Circular

Lots of circular things around during Christmas, but I chose this one that comes around ever month!

PhotoHunt - Christmas bling

Our tree had its own bling this year (in addition to the other ornaments).

PhotoHunt - Joy

There is nothing quite like the joy of a Mother and child! Our great-grandson giving a hug to his Mom.

PhotoHunt - Christmas lights

The lights on Market Street in Frederick, MD.

PhotoHunt has moved and has a new host. Grab your camera and join the hunt at The Saturday PhotoHunt.  

PhotoHunt - Ripped

Actually broken, but I was ripped to find the rear window of our van shattered last Monday. Sheriff's Deputy said I was number 10 that they knew about in the neighborhood.

Thanks Jamie for hosting PhotoHunt! It has been a  fun four years for me.

PhotoHunt - Wet fountain

Back in October, this fountain was very wet. But when I drove by a few days ago it had been turned off for the winter

PhotoHunt - Two cats on a truck

PhotoHunt - By the light of the moon

PhotoHunt - Broken pottery

In our travels over the years, we picked up some southwestern pottery which was displayed on the long bookcase. Unfortunately, one of the cats also liked to explore and one of our favorites was broken. The pottery is packed away now, and Marianne has redecorated wuth a different motif. 

PhotoHunt - High style ride

I found these two pups getting a ride around the Thurmont Colorfest in high style, complete with shade, blankets and a grand view of the path ahead.



PhotoHunt - Public wood carving

This wood carver has appeared at the Frederick Oktoberfest every time we have attended. He and his partner do their work in public with chainsaws.



A sample of their work for sale. We have two of the jack-o-laterns from previous years and Marianne was tempted by the smaller one on the bench.

PhotoHunt - Waiting for breakfast

Somewhere down in the hole, a spider is waiting for breakfast to land in its dew covered web.
