Meet Gary. Gary is a staunch Democrat in a town in a county in a region that is overwhelmingly Republican. He and his wife have decided to use their house and garage to let people know their feelings about the current administration.

Yes it is true.  I was stalking the Amish again.  But how can you resist a shot like this?
Oh bull!
In the wind
Ditch line
A farmers life
Slow moving
Wired
Drugs make you see pretty colors.....

It is Wisconsin, you know.
Key of D
Can't you shoot around corners?
Which way did they go?
Which way should we go?
I don't know. You decide.
We're heading farther north.
We are too.
Can somebody else take the lead? I'm pooped!
Let's kick back and relax.

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!

These are some pictures from an Old Road Trip..They are of Mountain View Arkansas...soon to be my new home...Folk Music Capital of the World!!!
Pickin' and Grinnin'

The next grab was very curious....#2..DESCRIPTION_HERE

Just STOP it!

NSFW. Thought this was a missing person poster. When I stopped my car to get a closer look, I found it was something else entirely....SLANDER

Yesterday we went up to my favorite place on the island, Poli Poli. It's above three thousand feet elevation. I saw this  hunting sign on the way up. It would be so great to live up  here. I noticed this flag flying on the way down.
 Here are some of the flowers that I saw while I was there.   .Lastly I thought this tree looked so neat. . I took many more pictures, to be posted another time. Enjoy and Aloha

I have thoroughly enjoyed the many signs posted during this challenge. As I went back through some of my photos I realized how many sign photos I already had. In keeping with the rules though, I went out and took new sign photos. Here's a "story."

Sometimes I walk around taking photos just because. I see a simple scene, or what I think is simple. It turns out there is hidden garbage in that dumpster labeled "General Forum." I've walked by a hundred times, never bothering to look in the dumpster. Imagine my surprise.

Inside the "Forum" lurks hidden dangers.

The calm facade, is merely that: a false image, a mask if you will, for deep undercurrents.

Sometimes, things are put together that don't really belong together, things I had no idea existed.

So here is my sign entry; you can ignore everything previous.

The  Perrine Bridge, which passes over the Snake River in Twin Falls, is dedicated to, and guarded by, IB Perrine.

Even this plaque has hidden colors brought out through some saturation adjustment.

  Well it's about time to wrap up the signs challenge.  You're probably getting pretty sick of signs now anyway! Thanks to everybody that participated, I tried to comment on each and every one but there have been so many posts lately I've had a hard time keeping up.  If I missed someone it was an oversight on my part and not a slight to you.  You submitted some great signs but more importantly you all got out and took some photos and that's what's important.
  I can't wait to see what Jayhuff has in store for the next challenge. Well, thanks again for your submissions and thanks for getting me involved. I feel like part of the "family" now. You guys are great! I Toast you!

_{I thought I'd post this a little early cause I have some stuff to do and I wanted to make sure I got this in.}

Tyler and I went to the Park today and played some Basket Ball. Tyler had a  Fun time. When we got home I photographed  Miss Chubby and a Old Door Knob and  Rusty Nail.

Here are my two entires for the sign challenge.

Keesler AFB Sign - A victim of Hurricane Katrina

No Swimming - On the Gulf Coast

-Wes

Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String

Auto Ecstasy

Come and Knock on Our Door

Here's the sign for the bar downstairs from our apartment. I'm not a big drinker and I've only been there a few times, but it is definitely a dive. There are some eerie and sad stories connected with a couple of people who frequent this place. They have karaoke nights every Saturday, which we hear pretty clearly, especially during the summer.

You would think a very Famous Chicken establishment would be able to spell their product correctly on its sign...oh no...this "Chiken" stayed on the sign for more than a month!!  Funny thing is a well known roast beef Restaurant across the street advertised a "Chicken" sandwich, spelled correctly, for about the same time!?!?DESCRIPTION_HERE DESCRIPTION_HERE

It's the Cub's Home Opener today on Chicago's North Side. I had to work. But just this past Monday, I was out hunting for a sign :)

Movie Set

First Base

Farm House

Tall Corn Needed

I could hear the wind singing through the fence, calling back the Ghost Players

Home Plate

Ray Loves Annie

I love(d) this movie.
"Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa."

Thanks for looking.

Started my day out here . After class went across the street to the Nutmeg Ballet Company to photograph the prima ballerina  and her troup .
A short walk up the street finds you at the restored and beautiful artdeco Warner  Theater .
If you're looking for an Old Time INN there's one right in the center of  town . It's been there since the road were still dirt and people arrived by Coach and then by Train and now by Cars.
I know this isn't a sign but it fit the weather and mood of the Day .
And this one has been forgotten by the farm up the road .
Have a great weekend.

Ah, yes... signs!!!

 They come on trucks...

 and they hang in the air.
