Every time I’m through Reagan Airport in Washington D.C., I find myself photographing the way-cool roof “above”

From 20 floors “above” looking down on, among the other hotel lobby amenities, a piano on an island…if only they had let me showcase my unbridled talent for playing chopsticks.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond

Since I posted so many dag-gum photos last year, I went back a a couple years and found so other photos that might…could work for this week’s photo challenge. At least that way, you long-time followers may have forgotten about some of these. And you know me, I cannot share just one photo:

Two kids unknown to me was captured tossing pebbles into the great "beyond"...and it looks like there was a conversation to their purpose as well...

Honor flyover, up, up, and "beyond"...

A Veteran’s Memorial celebration and honor flyover…look up, up, and “beyond”…

My dad and two brothers; I've often wondered for this brief moment captured, just what it was each was thinking "beyond" the present moment....

My dad and two brothers during a shore lunch while fishing in Canada; I’ve often wondered, for this brief moment that their together yet solitary pose was captured, just what it was each was thinking “beyond” that present moment….

the horizon "beyond"....

The beautiful Canadian horizon…”beyond”

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

While at lunch today I saw this light effect from a way-cool fixture over a table - I think the folks thought I was nuts when I asked them if they could hold their plates off the table...just for a second. HaHaHa. this photo blogging bit has got a hold of me :)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment

Sorry y’all. I got started and didn’t really want to quit on this challenge….

A fleeting moment….

My kids…some 30 years ago. Wow.

FD and FSoIL – wading in a cold stream during Christmas vacation a few years back

My father-in-law while opening his Christmas gifts last year (oh how I hope he doesn’t see this…)

A hot air balloon makes an emergency landing down the street…

An approaching storm

The guys at our 35th high school reunion last fall…oh my how time has fleeted

A brown bear (with a blond strip down her back) in Canada last fall – I was ready to flee in a heartbeat

My brothers and Dad after a shore lunch in Canada last fall (they didn’t know I took this photo…and I’ve often wondered what they were saying to each other)

Bald Eagle looking to snatch something….

A young couple…taking in the moment

Kids at the water’s edge….

A pending happy family reunion at the airport

In passing one should take in the view….

You’ve got to be quick…and lucky sometimes

The respect and silence is humbling….

Another fleeting magic moment…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects

Cowboy boots and goloshes

Military and Boy Scouts...Marines and Navy

Golfing and Dancing (OFB TR doing the trick)

Basketball rivals and "having your back"

Wildflowers and Weeds

(A family favorite photo of mine) Father and Son (OFB Tony) in opposite directions (ya think they had words or something?), and different hats, and club-apparent club-not, and cigar-with cigar-not

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning

Now this is something I’ve got a whole lot of pictures of….

Most of you limeyfishers know how I like my sunrises over the lake. So I went through the 1,000+ photos of sunrises and pick a few favorites. Then I debated on whether to post them in this “challenge”. So I searched a bit more . I may have stretched the challenge (maybe I don’t think so now) by taking “morning” and figuring what  pictures I had that showed something happening then.

What cha think?
