Before the snow melted...

What little snow we got the other day is almost gone...
this is the first time we went down the road this barn was on...but probably not the last.

Indiana farm

Another shot from yesterday...after the snow had slowed down....or maybe we had driven out of it. This was farther north than the photos from my last past.

Snow at last!

I thought about trying to alter these photos to make them clearer, but if I did that, it just would not show just how hard it was snowing.
I could not believe this guy was out walking in the snow that came today...we only got 3 inches or so, but when it was snowing, it was snowing hard! He was barely visible as we headed up this hill. We did stop and give him a ride...he was just going about a mile up the way. We didn't ask any questions as to why he was out in such a nasty time....

Wishing you peace and joy in the coming year

I wish it had been just a bit later when I took these...I did try to darken them a bit in photoshop. I am not sure how they will look. We saw this Tuesday and thought that big tree just beautiful.

Fly the friendly skies


We saw these swans at the strip pits yesterday, and I got some pics. I ran back through there today and took these.

Short-eared owl from the strip pits

The photo below is just the above photo after being cropped. I urge you to click and enlarge them. Notice the owl's feet...they look huge to me.

A favorite Christmas photo

This is a photo taken several years back on the south end of town. It will always be one of my favorite photos...it is one of my slides scanned in.

Christmas: a great source for Ruby Tuesday

I saved these from the other day to have for Ruby Tuesday...they were taken just at dusk. I can plainly see the red covered bridge and the red bow on the wreath on my computer, so I hope you can, too.
I use a laptop and colors sometimes appear very different on it than they do on a regular screen.

Anyway, they are my entries for the Ruby Tuesday meme hosted by MaryT at Work of the Poet. If you want to see more entries or to join the meme, just click on the badge below.

Without a leg to stand on

If you look close, you will see there is not corner post on the right side...you have to wonder how that side is still standing.

Bridgeton House

This was taken just at dusk yesterday evening when we passed through Bridgeton....I posted the Case Cabin on my Pics and Pieces Blog. The lady that owns it, also has this house. It is full of crafts.

Mama Squirrel

This is Mama Squirrel....she has been coming to be fed since 2006. She has raised at least 4 sets of babies in the tree that used to stand beside our house.
I have several other postings about her on my Pics & Pieces blog. I plan to use a couple other photos of her on it later also. These were taken yesterday.

Bare sycamore trees overlooking an Amish farm

Being that we have had bitter, cold weather the past couple of days it is kind of hard to imagine nice pleasant days such as the one like the day this picture was taken.

Forgotten?

One can't help but wonder is there anyone around that remembers living here.
If it had been summer when we passed this place, it would barely have been noticeable. The top picture would not have sure been different. I even wonder would I have been able to take that view at all. I waded through briars to get this shot.

I wonder how many blizzards this old home has seen, how many children grew up here, how many families have come and gone. Just so many things I would like to know.
