CEE’S FUN FOTO CHALLENGE – BARK OR LEAVES

I’m low on bark but long on leaves while walking through the park nearby that is blanketed in red and gold.  Each step I take makes a crispy, crunching sound.  Like something out of a horror movie. I even scared myself! You know, like when you’re watching something spooky, and you’re shouting to the TV.   “Don’t go in the basement!”  “Why would you follow the sound. RUN WHILE YOU CAN!” “DON’T OPEN THAT DOOR!”

Thank goodness it was so gorgeous or I might have had to turn around.  “NO! DONT LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!”

 

WALK THIS WAY…

TRAVEL THEME – WOOD

I suppose this is the obvious, but it was too dang cute to not use.  I’m guessing I won’t have the only tree photo in this challenge, but I’m betting on this one being one of  the cutest. (OK.  I may be a little bit biased.  I think my little charge is adorable.)

CEE’S WHICH WAY CHALLENGE – WEEK 1

I don’t know how she does it, but Cee has thrown out yet another gaunlet – Which Way.  If your at a loss for roads to travel, bridges to cross, or paths to take, Cee has them waiting for you on her site.  Here a just a few “Which Ways” I’ve taken or observed.

Cape May Zoo bridge to cross

Out your driveway and into the rain…

By Ben Franklin Bridge

By escalator at Cherry Hill Mall

By water – Cooper River, Camden, NJ

CEE’S FUN FOTO CHALLENGE – THE FABULOUS SEASON OF WINTER!

We didn’t get hammered by snow this winter like we’ve had in years past.  Sadly however, much of the east coast is getting pummeled by rain and high winds.  I guess we’re lucky that we didn’t get both, but whoa!  I am waterlogged!  Here’s a peek into this winter’s smidge of snow.  Even a little snow can be enchanting.

Rocky’s winter

If you feel so inclined, zoom in on the trees and find the deer.  I didn’t know they were there until after I took the photo.  If you’ve never been to Valley Forge in the winter, you’re missing something beautiful.  And if you haven’t been to Cee’s blog site, you also don’t know what you’re missin’.  Click the icon to see more of winter and Cee’s fabulous fotos.

CEE’S FUN FOTO CHALLENGE – SIGNS (OF VARIOUS KINDS)

Today, while my two young charges were attending reading hour at the Cherry Hill Library, I skulked out onto the floor to capture a few signs hawking books.  What better sign can you find!

Column in the children’s section

Elephant and Piggy – YAY!

Hootie Owl in the kids reading room

Can you read the sign?

Take note of the Elephant and Piggie sign.  If you have small children or grandchildren, go to your local library and pick one or more of these up.  They are hysterical and adorable.  Oh, by Mo Willems (no I didn’t leave out the ‘i” and mistype the “a”.  It really is  Willems.:-). )

And, speaking of my charges, this little guy is wearing a sign as well.

I had to include the cute little pouty lips.

Since we had a torrential downpour this morning, I put my bike ride off til I got home.  I didn’t really overwhelm you with too many fun fotos up top, so I thought I’d take my camera on my ride and point and click in the park.  I was amazed at the number of signs I came across.  These are just some.

hydrant

This is actually the second stop sign on my route.  I thought the hydrant gave it a little more class. 🙂

stop arrow

Then comes the stop sign warning – telling you that a stop sign is up ahead.  HUH? (if you look way down the road a piece, you’ll see the actual stop sign this sign is referring to.  WHAT?

One Way

Believe it or not, there was another Do Not Enter sign to the right.  Can you say Overkill?

Slow Down!

This sign is suppose to register your speed.  I guess I wasnt’ going all that fast.  I’m working on it!

Phone

A little retro here.  And there really is a pay phone under this sign.  It’s seen better days, but it works!

Road Closed

Do you think they want you to stay out?

Last sign

A few more rules and regs before leaving the park.  And none too soon.  This was a sign that it was time for me to go home!!!!

Rocky Raccoon

This one’s a little blurry and understandably so.  I was shaking in my boots when I shot this.  I’m a little leery of these guys.  It all started back in 1970, in the San Fransisco Bay area.  But that’s another story for another day.

Please click on the cute little critter below to see other entries @ Ceephotography.com.  This guy doesn’t freak me out – as much. 🙂

Hope you had a little fun.

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate each and every visit.

CEES’ FUN FOTO CHALLENGE – BRIDGES

Cee, @ ceephotography.com has presented yet another challenge. Bridges.  I’m afraid I’ve posted most of my bridges.   So I guess I’m not rising to the occasion  and I need to do more pointing and clicking  and maybe the next time some says “bridges” I’ll be ready.  But for now, here’s what’s left of my bridge crossings.   Maybe less is more.  🙂

Benjamin Franklin Bridge, NJ to PA

South Carolina – Charleston to Mount Pleasant

Cherry Hill, NJ

Ben Franklin Bridge – another view

Collingswood, NJ

Barclay Farmstead

Knight Park

Since I don’t have enough bridge shots to fill a thimble, maybe you could stop by Cee’s to get a look at what others have to share.  Thanks.  And thanks for stopping by, browsing, liking, and commenting.  As has been the custom, click on the cute little icon below and you’ll be on your way to Cee’s.

CEE’S FUN FOTO CHALLENGE – PHOTOGRAPH SOMETHING NEW

KNIGHT PARK – COLLINGSWOOD, NJ

A walk in the park.  A man and his dog. Roses. Bridges. Geese and more.

Today Rocky, Jeff, and I went out looking for “something new” in order to fulfill Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.  There was a crispy, clean chill in the air, but what a fabulous day to collect some new pix.  Take in  the beauty of Knight Park. 

Thanks to Cee for setting up a new challenge.  Stop by her incredible photo blog. She is truly amazing.
