The Sunday Challenge: Theme for the week is "The writing is on the wall." For those of you familiar with tennis scoring, the writing is on the wall for the player with the score on the right side of this scoreboard. Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music. The Party's Over sung by Don Meredith on America's "Monday Night Football." He always sang this song the moment he felt that the team down in the score had no chance of coming back to win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtGxusvUT3k The full version by Willie Nelson: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoQZ0qmf-mk

This hawk spiraled upwards over the road we were travelling. It was enjoying the updrafts on a sunny afternoon.

My wife spotted the three men in a boat near sundown. I took a few photos of them hoping for something interesting. In this one you can see them hauling in a fish! Please expand for full effect.

This murder of crows (or birds that are black) was foraging on a recently harvested field.

The Sunday Challenge: Birds This is about as close as I got to any birds this week. They seemed to know that I was coming. I did finally get a photo of this bird which is never situated in a safe place for me to pull over an park. It rests on power lines along many roadways. Even at that I had to crop to get any detail of (we think its a) her. Further down the road I found a murder of crows foraging in a recently harvested field. See Note.

Expand please.

Perplexed as I found this on a neighbor's property. Honestly, what is the point and how does it not offend a lot of people?

The Sunday Challenge: Three shots of the same item and turn them into a monochrome triptych.

For Not The Sunday Challenge. I used the Dutch Tilt for this one. The first reason was to get as much of the backhoe in the frame. The other was to give a feeling of discombobulation at the demolition of the house next door. Please let me know if it worked.

Some fun with the Dramatic Effect art filter in my camera and a touch up in Lightroom.

The Sunday Challenge: A suggestion that has not yet been used. This week I chose a country mailbox. The suggestion for a Mailboxes around the world came from Jason LXIII.

These trash haulers were parked in front of the site early and are waiting for their turn to have their bins filled with a demolished house before driving to the landfill.
