"Contrast"

The theme this week by Kathy is "Contrast". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

Contrast is an interesting theme. I would think there is little chance any similar post today. For my header I thought I would show the contrast between last weeks back yard to today. Last week we had snow cover and the deer were looking for the food. I love the contrast of the deer against the snowy woods. This is the mother looking back for her daughter.
Today in contrast we have rain and 60F with all the snow gone.
This first year youngster is in the back yard with her colors contrasting against the neighbors shed..
She is trying to get some grass from under the snow.
She ended up with a face full of snow.

"Skyline"

The theme this week by Lew is "Skyline". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

Skyline, oh what to show. The "Skyline" of Kent, Ohio is quickly changing. Construction abounds in the city with many new buildings. I decided to use this view of Acorn Alley II for my header. 
Across the street apartments are being built.
The Kent State Conference Center is also being built.
These building are complete and have tenants in them.
This is a view of the older area of town looking from the new construction on the right.
I thought of using this view of the Alps from my trip across them. this was a great "Skyline".

"Winter Setting Sun"

The theme this week by Mac is "Winter Setting Sun". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

We have had Sun sometimes for the last few weeks. the bigger problem is where to see it set. I took this in the back yard.  This was the best I captured.
The best photo I got was from the TV on "Flying Alaska". I wish I could get this type of Winter Setting Sun.
The neighborhood has one open place to see the setting Sun.
The Sun disappears over the neighbors house. 
This is the setting Sun over my house.

"Linen"

The theme this week by Sandy is "Linen". Mac, Kathy, Sandy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

Sandy came up with an unusual theme. I don't usually think about Linen. I took a ride to Bath Bed and Beyond to get some photos. My header is a framed linen design that was interesting.
This is another linen design.
This is some linen design bedding with a design from European cities in black and white colors.
These are colorful striped towels.
Towels in different colors. It was a colorful trip to the store.

"Let It Snow"

The theme this week by Craver is "Let It Snow". Mac, Kathy, Sandy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

Craver decided to show let it snow. The snow has been falling for a few weeks so we have our share, Here is a planter on my deck. It may be saying let it stop snowing.
We actually have some sun today and no snow. There is a good snow cover with a lot of animal tracks.
The house is covered with the snow.
The snow is all the way down my avenue.
The area has had its share for certain. So I say don't "Let It Snow"
