    I really don't think it it is you.
    I use ImagShack for my everyday forum photos, including that one.
    A few weeks ago, I had a similar problem with pictures not showing up on one of my laptops.
    The next day all was well again...
    So maybe them? Maybe I need to reevaluate the service I use.

      Since I'm snowed in and can't get to work yet I figured I'd count up the vote tally.

      Looks like Kerrfunk, Sandy, Redman had one vote
      Gustovh had two
      Dave R and Trevor three
      And finally Baatfam taking it with four.

      Congrats Bob!

          Thanks guys! Never thought that one would win when I put it up. But that's the way the game goes.

          Working on a subject that will be easy enough we can get some new players, but open enough we can be super creative.

          It won't be a place or thing....

          Stand by....

            Cheers Bob Baatfam on the #1 entry this week!
            Still wondering whether the pic was a result of creative production or
            serendipity
            No secrets need be spilled though..

              No secrets...Just dumb luck...LOL...

              Last summer, after taken a near year hiatus from riding, (for a couple reasons), I finally went for a ride.
              It was a beautiful day, and for the first time in a while, I was enjoying riding.
              Decided to take a selfie to post to Facebook and let my friends know I was back in the saddle.

              Don't know if I ever took a selfie before, but I was trying for a traditional Redman shot.
              Didn't like the first one, because I wasn't looking at the camera.
              My expression was probably a result of trying to figure out how to take a selfie on a cell phone.

              So I took another and used that:

                  I took some time working out this week's theme....
                  It needed to be something "easy," so maybe we can get some new blood.
                  Yet something wide open to interpretation, so that those that wish, can get creative.

                  Maybe I am wrong, but I think this subject fits my requirements very well.

                  Ready????

                  This week's subject/theme is....

                  THREE or if you prefer 3

                  Three what you ask? Three anythings, or just a 3.
                  Just put a bike, or bikes, or part of a bike, that you've owned, in the picture.

                  Three GS motorbikes
                  Three other motorbikes
                  Three riders, one bike (we've had this)
                  Three cylinder bike
                  Three, three cylinder bikes
                  Three magnificent trees
                  Three mountain peaks...
                  Three way junction (roads or electrical)
                  3rd Street
                  A giant number three
                  3 as a race number
                  3 or 33 or 333 as an address, or license plate
                  And so on....

                  3 or Three anything....Questions?

                  I can put up examples, if anyone wishes, but I haven't picked my entry yet.

                      I'm going to resubmit a picture I used last month for "favorites".

                      Rusty and Barry and I used to ride together a few times a month. They were members of my church when I got my first bike. Barry was getting back into biking at the same time, and he got a Goldwing, but he was a little cautious at the beginning so we traded bikes for a month or two: my GS550L for his Goldwing. Ha.

                      Let the good times roll! Three guys, three different bike makes, three generations (okay, that's a stretch, but Barry's retired, Rusty's getting there, and I'm in my 40s)

                        A fun little road in Southern Ohio can be found on the other side of the river from Maysville, Kentucky. Ohio State Hwy 763 is about 12 1/2 miles of very nice twisty road with several areas of no shoulders dropping into a wooded creek and switchbacks that pop up as you crest a hill. Go too fast through some of them and you are liable to run into a farmer's field or off the edge of the road. Last year was the only time I really didn't like riding it much as it was hot and the recently laid tar snakes made the Bandit feel like I'd lose it in a couple of the turns.

                        You will need to zoom in to see the sign if you want proof only because you really cannot pull off before the stop sign without blocking traffic or letting your bike fall off to the right.

                            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                              "Three bikes" is rather easy around here. Had a couple of shots with us lined up, ready for our "Little Ride" last summer, but chose to use one that was on our consolation ride, when the "Little" one got cut short.
