#24 Grin (Theme #130)

Our Pathfinder Bible Achievement team had their first "real" event this afternoon. Of the four teams participating, two earned a first place and will advance to the next level. (More about Bible Achievement at my other blog "The Nature of Things" or at http://www.pathfinderbibleachievement.org/)
This is our team captain holding the first place certificate. I chose this for "grin" because for three years, I haven't been able to get a good picture of him.


For reference, I have three years of pictures that look like this!

#23 Costume (Theme #67)

Every day until tax day (April 15) someone in a Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam costume will stand on this corner trying to influence people to come get their taxes done by this company. I was parked across four lanes of traffic trying to get a shot a) facing me, b) without a passing car in the picture.

#22 Follow the Leader (Theme #105)

These geese seemed to be playing "follow the leader" as they walked across the thin ice to the open water.

#21 Windows (Theme #362)

This frost was on my car windows this morning. I took the picture from the inside, looking out--before I turned the defroster on.

#20 Exercise (Theme #87)

For anyone not familiar with the ChickfilA restaurant, it serves chicken. Their "spokesperson" is a cow that encourages people to "Eat mor chikn". I saw this billboard in town today--had to get right up close to keep the power line from cutting the image in two so the angle is a bit weird.

#19 Up on Top (Theme #344)

This castle sits "up on top" of a hill overlooking I-840--about 50 miles or so from home. I believe it's the location for an annual Renaissance Festival held in May.

#18 Baby It's Cold Outside (Theme #18)

Not as cold as where some of you live (about 19ยบ F), but cold enough that this Mourning Dove was skating on the birdbath.

#17 Award (Theme #16)

Our Pathfinder Bible Achievement Team holds their first place award in the Practice event. To learn more about Pathfinder Bible Achievement, go here http://www.pathfinderbibleachievement.org/
