As I put this one together, it occurred to me that it's really hard to get a gold start for a photo blog.  And this week, I included more than I usually do.  The rest, you'll have to read!  So here goes:

1.  Debby Gardner:  Making friends with the pets definitely helps  For everyone who's ever sucked up to the family dog to get a listing!  Really cute post.  Really smart post!

2.  Robert Swetz:  "Good Night" Friends & Family from Vegas Bob ... ;o)  This is just an amazing shot - one of many that Vegas Bob has brought us.

3.  Richie Alan Naggar:  ACTIVERAINLAND...WHERE ALL THE RAINMAKERS LIVE, PLAY, AND WORK.  He's messing with us!  Fun post.

4.  William Johnson:  Just a Cool Photo!  William is an amazing photographer, and this is a bird shot that is too beautiful notto include.

5.  Deb Brooks:  I am eating Oreo's. The Power of Advertising and "Shut The Front Door!"  HELP!!!  I can't get Oreos out of my brain!

6.  Tni LeBlanc:  It’s a Short Sale -- No You Can’t Have the Couch!  Tni brings us an etiquette lesson on negotiating personal property in a sale.

7.  Chris Ann Cleland:  That's Not My Job  There's not much left in this category, at least not if we want our transactions to work.

8.  Colleen Fischesser:  Top 10 SWEETEST 4 Word Phrases in Real Estate Today  We all know the four letter words.  Here's the next step.

9.  Susan Neal:  Man bites dog? Homeowners foreclose on Bank of America!  Take that, Bank of America!

10.  Gary Woltal:  All Good Things In Life Are Gifts  This post struck a chord with me today.  It's sort of the perfect post for a Sunday morning.

11.  Barbara-Jo Berberi:  They Closed And Moved In...........Now What?  This is how Barbara-Jo stays in touch.  Always on the lookout for great ideas on this topic.

12.  Kathy Streib: Doing Even a Little Something Can Often be Better than Doing a Big Nothing.  Sweet post about helping a friend in need.

13.  Todd Clark:  If you aren’t going to feed me, we are going to have a problem  No, Todd is not talking about his children!

14.  Peter & Linda Pfann:  Timing and Strategy is Everything, Specially in Active Rain Blogging  I'm amazed that the Gold Star Fairy missed this one!

And 15.  Cindy Merchant:  Pay It Forward - Trolls under the Bridge?  Cindy may have left all of our collective comfort zones to write this one.  Also a great Sunday morning post.

So that's it for this week.  Have a good one, and I'll be back next Sunday with yet another list for you all.

Well hello Pat and you are so kind to have included VB with all these other wonderful members of Activerain. Nu Nu and I were at Luguna Beach for around 4 days and when I took this photo we had been at the beach most of the day. As the sun was setting and we were driving back to the hotel I remembered this small over look from the road. I pulled over the car and we waited for the sun to set. I ended up playing around with a 200mm telephoto lens and capturing the true orange color of the sun setting, I shot around 20 pics and they all different and look very similar to this one.

VB ;o)

PS - I think I will re-post/ re-blog this later ... "Thanks Again"

Hey, everyone!  Thanks so much for your comments.  This is a fun post to write every week.  Now I gotta start looking for posts for next Sunday.

Todd, what?  You didn't feed that fellow after he gave you that great look! 

And William, I'm trying to figure out whether that pigeon is for real or not!

Pat, these are just fantastic! I loved them all. What a great choice you made...although, I must remain humble as the others were better. I am so glad to be included. Where are yours? Your postings are amazing and fun and right on! I would miss reading them. Thanks for all you do here in the rain...are you wet yet? I couldn't wait to say that! Where can we use that? Inquiring minds want to know! Talk to you soon. Big job coming.
