Theme ~ Photo to Portray a Film

Chosen by Mac.


Well, isn't this week's theme fun?  Although we do watch our share of movies, I'm always stumped to name them.  So I had Fernando shout out some classic or favorite movies, and I tried to see if I could come up with a photo to portray what he shouted out.  Since my header shot is a recent one, I figured I'd use that one.  Here it is in full, with its movie title:

Field of Dreams
starring Kevin Costner

July 2 -- Sox win!!

Here are some more I came up with...

Apollo 13
starring Tom Hanks

This is the actual Apollo 13 module!

Waterworld
starring Kevin Costner


Gone with the Wind
starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh

Fernando's grill after a bad thunderstorm.

Heat
starring Al Pacino

Pickled jalapenos -- canned in my kitchen.

And, one more suggested by my husband, the movie buff:

Bad Boys
starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence

Guys looking tough--the H. Family guys and my guys.  :)

Hope you enjoy these!  I can't wait to see your creativity!!

Theme ~ Bird

Chosen by Craver.


Since I kept thinking Monday was Thursday, and Tuesday was Wednesday, suffice it to say I have no idea what day it is!  Other than--it is Header Challenge Day!  And I'm late posting!!  Here are my images of birds, all of which I took on my week-long surprise trip to the Adirondacks in upstate New York.

Seagull, Winter (Military) Bay, Lake Bonaparte.

Eagles nesting on beacon, 1000 Islands, Alexandria Bay, New York.

Seagull at Boldt Castle, Heart Island, St. Lawrence River.


This is a series of cormorants I spied as I was trying to shoot some kids tubing on the lake.





Turkey vulture at Winter Bay, Lake Bonaparte.


My favorite bird on the lake, the loon, was elusive the whole time I was up there.  On the last day, we were out on the boat and I spotted him.  I didn't have time to switch lenses, so I used my 55-104mm f/4L and zoomed in as close as I could, then cropped a bit too.





Thanks, and sorry I'm late this week!  Off to visit your blogs!!
