iT IS HARD TO PAT ALL OF YOU ON THE BACK...THINGS COME IN FASTER THAN I CAN TYPE :-)    [but way to go James, Ronnie, Kim, Lynn...miss anybody?]

Way to go...warming up again...Lynn, Kevin, RJ and awjay...nice products from fertile minds.

I'd like a light lunch of just half a knuckle sandwich please!

Yuk, yuk...

You all (Ronnie, David, Joe, Awjay, Lynn) are doing better and better...keep 'em coming.

Great idea. I'll be happy to add to the merriment here. Now, I've got to think of something...that's the more difficult part. Hmmmmmm.

Two outstanding examples from you Ronnie :-)

Great shot Ronnie.  A combined bascule and suspension bridge no doubt :-)  I never realized how massive the structure really is... Looks just right for this challenge.  Bill

Centrifugal force at work up top? Heh, Heh...

What a great concluding week for 2008. Congratulations for all the talented artists so rightly chosen. And thanks for all the staff...each and every one named above. This provides a huge boost for thinking about what to do for 2009!!!

As said above, I'm just real happy to be a part of all this amazing activity. We should change all the members of the United Nations into photographers...they'd see things more clearly and maybe even work in concert.

This has been a very good year for me and this selection adds a very nice punctuation mark to it all. I am happily surprised and indeed honored.

Thank you to all the staff for all you do putting this gallery together each and every week.

And congrats to all the selectees in this week's gallery...beautiful work.

Bill

Ronnie, just read you note to Carin. I need to pay more attention. We're all so used to you patting us on the back that we are forgetting that you can't very well do that for yourself...at least not without getting you elbow and shoulder out of joint. And then you'd think you were here all by yourself. Your oversight of our efforts is VERY much appreciated. keep it coming!

Bill

P.S. Like your trash bin and the reverse side of your tie bar. There, see...all is not lost   :)

Hi Carin, How did we miss commenting on the three little pigs? I like 'em too. You and Piet obviously found different but similar ones...both good. Reminds me of the old saying about getting the south end of a north bound cow...or something like that.

Like all the entries over the past three pages...must say I do kind of favor L8RDAZE's shot...who can beat that cute face at the up end of the cup? Unfair competition here :-)

Bill

Hi Ronnie...pretty close. Just about 35 miles away. I'm northwest of Kansas City...Kaufman Stadium is on the east side. How did you come to be a Royals Fan? Or is that a silly question to ask somebody living in London :-)

Bill

This is number three for me already...come on January.  This is a beautiful old water fountain made in Paris in 1910 and resident in Kansas City since about 1951.
