:first: Well Spence I knew when I saw the 02 Blue behind the waterfall I was in trouble. Great picture. Gee now I have to think of another photo shot for next month. Congrats again to a great Tbirder. At least it was a tie for second place with the lovely Rhonda. As Arnold would say We'll BE BACK!!

First: I would like to thank the people that voted for my pic. Second: I would like to send congratulations to Mike and Rhonda for the Great Competition. Third: I wish more people would have submitted a few more pics for the month of June.

But HA, I'll take the Win.:laugh: For those that submitted pics in the past and haven't won yet don't give up. I have submitted pics off and on over the past four years and finally won one. So if you have tried before and not won, just keep trying.

Story behind this pic: While we were at Highlands Thunder this year a group of us were driving up the mountain looking at all the water falls along the road. We pulled over at this one and someone said it would look good to have a Bird behind the falls. There weren't any takers because the road behind the falls was blocked off by the state, I guess. I walked down the short road and said I'ed give it a try. Got the car back of the falls and then preceded to take a few pics of it, one of them with me laying on the side of the road taking the pic. Just as I backed the Bird out from the saw horse that blocked the road a cop passed us driving up the mountain.:nervous: But I got the pic and didn't get caught.:high5:
