Sun Going Down on the Peshtigo River.............   

Groningen is not very touristic as Amsterdam, but it has a lot of interesting sites as the largest city of the northern Netherlands.

Took a couple close ups of my littlest duckie.  Out of about twenty, you get to view only a couple (feel lucky).  The littlest duckie. How small?This small.

The last picture is for the weekly challenge: two duckies, two objects, and a double reflection!

Walking over to the Flatiron Building on 23rd and 5th, I was waylaid by these photos just lying in wait for someone to pass by and set them free.

Times from the past:
A stump with a hint of the future.
A tree showing a hint of of its former gloriousness.
Past rain (normally I don't like sun flares, but I think it adds a little something to this one.)

Times for the future:
A flower bed waiting for a future time
Future something (was working on DOF, but got too much.)

I'm really enjoying the new camera, it does just great on flowers.

This is a memorial of a soldier from our town that was killed in Iraq. The memorial is beautiful. The  bronzed reminder.  Says it all courage and Loyalty.  

I took this photo last month in Kashmir it shows a bridge built by the british in the 1800's an apt reminder of British rule!!

Sorry new to this you might want to see a larger photo !! The British bridge Dal Lake in kashmir

I want to do some shots of my cousins dog.  My little cousin found Lucky as a tiny puppy alone and starving.  I am usually a person that does not care for pitbulls.  But this dog is so great.  He is full of ambition and has a ton of character.  As you can see he can get good  air when going after a stick that the boys throw.  His little sidekick is Sparky.  He is a totally different story. I was laughing so hard trying to get shots like this that I missed him completely a couple times.  I want your help picking some of the best  shots I took today of him.  So I can print them out for my cousin.  Here are some of the others I took:  Finally I got the stick!   They say I look like Petey from The Little Rascals. (If anyone out there would like to make him look like Petey please do and post it in the comments)
Last but not least...the boys told me Lucky and Sparky had another trick and I didn't believe them until I saw this trick.  Okay so I need your help.  Let me know what ones are your favorites.  Thanks!!

Penny was working hard making arrangements, waiting on customers and answering phones.  So I had to find something to do.  I found this it was just my size.  So I drove around for a bit.  I felt like a fireman. I even found a friend to hang out with for a while. When I went in the back where the girls work.  It was a little  crazy. There were flowers  everywhere!  But I did take time to  stop and smell the flowers.  I hope all the mothers out there had a Happy Mothers Day!

This was shot in Collinsville, Connecticut.
I tried to capture its own reflection of age and time. I've been intriqued with this old mill for many years.

This picture was taken in New Britain, Connecticut. It reflects the tree and the names of soldiers that died in war.  This reflection shot reminds me of the soldiers who will always stand tall in the hearts of us all.

Can you fill in the blanks?

Since I didn't have to take the kids to school on Thursday, I headed for the river to catch the sunrise before work.  Unfortunately, due to a terrible wreck in my way, I missed the sunruse.  It was a beautiful morning on the river though.  The reflections were great.  Even downtown Knoxville looks good in the early light.  I took a ton of pics and haven't gone through all of them yet.  These are the first ones that caught my eye.

Here I am, desperately trying to catch up with the last three challenges and y'all start a fourth one while I'm not looking.

Well, Fine.

Let's see. The challenges are: Architecture, Reflections, Signs and now Strangers. I think I've gotten them covered this week:

The Capitol at night and Washington Monument at Night cover the Reflections and Architecture categories, and I'll throw these in as proof I know how to take pictures during the day, too:

Washington Monument by Day, and Udvar-Hazy Center  

For the Signs challenge, I offer this cheating entry:

Reflections on a Memorial

and for a straight reflection I offer this:

Reflecting on War.

Now, for the subject of strangers, I'm afraid I can only offer one stranger, and one person doing something strange:

Making Memories

Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

On that last picture, I swear I've no connection to that girl, I don't care what her mother says!

Could I give up any more on titles?  Could we have a random title generator?

At least then people might be amused by what I put there!

Just Two shots I want to share right now and had time to post.

The famous Oculus - from the Pantheon - Rome Jan '06

City in Reflection - a tad late for the reflections theme to say the least but it presented itself this weekend.
