Shoot Four - "Good Sport Kate!"

Vietnam. . . As noted by Milt, Elaine, Michelle, Peyton, Jim, and Joani! As a few mentioned, our President was in Vietnam this past week! I kinda had advance notice so I made sure Vietnam was the country of the week!

"Good Sport Kate"

Well, my romp through Europe has come to a close on my Top Shots for 2015. Oh, trust me, I could have gone on for another three years with them!

There is a gentleman who is a member of my camera club who offers to bring in a model for us to practice shooting. This is Kate and about ten of us met up with Jeff (HDP's resident pro photographer) and Kate (the model) at the Ames Mansion in Easton. With a variety of locations within the grounds and  several wardrobe changes (Jeff brings a changing tent for his models), we were off and clicking!

As you can see from here, she was willing to assume any pose - even lying on the ground, perched in a tree, donning roller skates to provide us with movement, etc. You can understand why I called her, "Good Sport Kate!"  

Getting Older?

Where in the World?

Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be?

German is the official language but other local languages include Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Turkish and Polish.

It is a landlocked country that is bordered by eight countries, Germany and the Czech Republic to the north, Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Hungary and Slovakia to the east.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, it was one of the great powers of Europe under the Habsburg

As of 2013, this country has twenty Nobel Prize laureates including seven in Physiology or Medicine, five in Chemistry, three in Physics and Economist Friedrich Hayek.

Also, it is home to some of the most famous classical music composers the world has ever seen including Joseph Haydn, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Anton Bruckner, Johann Strauss and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

(Ed. Note: Too easy, I think!!!)

Interesting Thought. . .

Don't take yourself so seriously. . .
no one else does!

Leaving on a humorous note, I hope!

A whale swims all day, 

only eats fish, 

drinks water. . .

but is still fat!

(Between the last week's tortoise and this week's whale, why exercise???)
