Fractal, I love your Osprey. I love those birds!

Princess love the track pictures. I need to ask my nephew where he was in Australia, I do know he was closer to Sidney than Melbourne. Last year he had an internship on a thoroughbred racehorse breeding farm for about 10 months. He loved it there.

Moving on to the "C's"

Candlelight I have to say that I think I had my focus off on this picture. I wanted my grandson's face and wound up with the candles. I like how it turned out though


Carousel I took a generic "Oh Look a carousel"

Celebrity This one threw me as I tried to figure out how I would see a celebrity as I had no real travel plans this summer. My husband and I travel with friends every summer for a weekend trip and this year was just down to the Jersey shore. Imagine my surprise when I found not one, but SEVERAL, celebrities

First we have the Harlem Globetrotters with Bernie Parent. Bernie Parent was the goal tender for the Philadelphia Flyers Stanley Cup teams


My husband with one of his all time heroes

They stopped and got out to play the basketball game on the boards and I have to laugh as not one of them sank a basket. I have always said those games are rigged.[/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL]

Tazdev - I would have liked to see the Harlem Globetrotters doing that!

Back to the hunt:

Expression - My cat's expresssion is sheer contentment!

Berries - Blackberries

Kiss - These Red Tailed Hawks look like they're kissing! At the nature center I went to, all the birds were behind fences and there was a low railed fence 3-4 feet away so you couldn't get up to the fence. So all my shots have blurry fence shadows in them.

This OWL had a bored EXPRESSION and then.............

he saw me!

This Rooster had VIBRANT colors

UPSIDE DOWN.

Fractal, Love the shots at Hershey Park. I haven't been there in a few years and when I went it was the dead of winter for the Candy Cane Lane lights.
