Pic of the week game

[dpep]

I did not have anything to enter this week but Jedz struck a chord for me with his "Snow on the Windjammer" shot. It was scenes like it that motivated my moving to Florida a half century ago.

Chiming in a bit late but Cowboy's curious horses just does it for me.

Sandy, those horses were Rich’s. Did you mean to vote for him?

[cowboyup3371]

I’ll help Bob out with the Saturday morning tally time:

Burque with 1 vote
Jedz gets 3 votes
And the winner by a landslide is Rich with 8 votes (a possible 9th but we would have to wait for Sandy to chime back in)

If someone could confirm please?

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I want to get a new theme out early so not gonna wait for the final tally. Thanks for all the votes, guys. Just realized I forgot to vote. Would have been Jedz123.

I’m sticking with animals, or critters, creatures, any member or members of the animal kingdom, and at least part of your bike, of course:

like the snake I didn’t run over last week.

Gaaaah!!! Loved snakes when I was a kid. Now not.

Oops. Yes I did. Looks like it matter much though. Congrats Rich.

Thanks Scott.
Got an early start replacing the water pump on our Durango, and just plain forgot.

Congrats, Rich....And good new theme...

Um, yeah. I was just thinking 3 out of 4 ain’t bad. More later.

Ok, so, I was riding through an area near home on a road I’d never ridden on before. The whole area is nothing but the prettiest Amish and Mennonite farms you’ve ever seen. I had a vague idea of what I wanted for a B&W image. This group of what I believe are some type of draft horse were chilling in the shade next to this fence as I rode by. Something clicked in my head and I turned the bike around. They mostly posed for me but not for very long. The one on the right wasn’t interested. Besides converting to monotone, I also mildly adjusted some other levels, using the fairly rudimentary adjustments in Photos on my Mac. Here’s the sequence of pics. The scene broke up within about 10 seconds.

They realised almost immediately you had no apples for them and were of no further interest.
Horses, they're so shallow.

Well, I guess since I didn’t specify that the critter must be alive/not fake/non fictional, I’ll have to allow that, Bob. Haha
