Bird Feeder Frenzy

Well, summer is over so it was time to fill up the ol' bird feeder. It didn't take long for our neighborhood avian friends to find the mess hall.

As the sun-lit days are now much shorter my guess is you'll be seeing a lot of daily photos of my backyard birds, squirrels and such. I guess that might be a good way to finish this Project 365 on. In fact, I may just try and plan to make day 365 a photo of a cardinal, seeing as that was my Day 1 of this Project 365 post. How cool would that be?!  :-)

What's For Lunch?

What's for lunch? A couple Hebrew National hot dogs with Thousand Island dressing topped with Pickled Corn Relish. Mmmm Mmmm Good!

Church Re-Visited

I re-visited the church on Sunbury Road that I had taken a photo of last November. I had used my little Canon 4.0 point and shoot. Today I had my Canon T1i. I can't say that I am all that impressed with either photo. <shrug>

Alum Creek Whitetails

It wasn't raining today. A mix of sun and clouds. I managed to find some deer along Alum Creek. I was up on a ridge and took about 10 photos. These two were my favorites.

The Lone Berry

It's raining today. Again.

But instead of going to the flower bed, I walked across the street (don't act so shocked!) and took a close-up of this berry that was hanging on a tree. What kind of berry and what type of tree I have no idea. But I do like the photo!

One of a Kind

Hey, guess what?  Yep. It's raining again today. So, another short trip to the flower bed before work. I liked the way the one leaf became a chartreuse color and didn't just accept the fact that it had to be a normal green, like all the rest of them.

Rainy Day Plant

Twas a rainy day today. Thank goodness for the flower bed. For some reason, it always looks better when it's wet. Hope you like this close-cropped photo of some kind of plant.

Great Pancakes

Pancakes.

There's good ones and then there's great ones. In my personal opinion, the only way to make a GREAT pancake is in a cast iron skillet, frying in a layer of butter.  Mmmmmm Mmmm! :-)

Next Best Thing

Barbara's in Seattle visiting her family. It's kind of lonely without her, not to mention frustrating if ya know what I mean. Sooo... seeing as I could't have her, I settled on the next best thing; Kroger's Select Premium Danali Bear Claw Ice Cream.  :-)  I savored this tub for three nights. I know.. some of you would have polished it off in no more than two!

Cloud Figures

It was a beautiful sky today as I waited to go into work. I liked these puffy clouds. I managed to find 2 images in them, both rather large. Can you? Hint; A teddy bear and a male doll. LOL

Harvest Pizzaria

We tried out a little place in German Village today called Harvest Pizzeria. A pretty eclectic menu, kind of pricey but very good pizza!

Still Leftovers

Ah yesss... Nov. 29th and still eating turkey leftovers. This was actually a quite tasty lunch; turkey, salt, pepper, Miracle Whip and pickled corn relish. Mmmmmmmm!

Plant Puddles

Rained a bit over night. I find it hard to shoot interesting photos when it's raining or just a cloudy, dreary day. All I can say is, thank goodness for our flower bed! This is either a plant or a weed with pools of rain water. I like the red mulch. Reminds me of rust.  :-)

Jack Black Bison

This is my latest pottery acquisition. It is 13 inches long and was made by a Navajo potter by the name of Jack Black. Each piece was hand sanded and glazed. Jack passed away in 2002 and all of his molds were destroyed by his family so that his legacy could live on.  Although this piece has two broken horns that were glued back together, it still makes an impressive piece. His animal pieces are rather hard to find.

Lost on Sunbury Road

If you've been following my posts then you've seen this type of photo before; A Lost Ball. I love finding lost balls and then stopping to take a few photos of them. Their story always intrigues me. Are they really lost or just gone astray? Perhaps they are escaping some abusive child. Lost balls are on a journey of their own. That's why, when I find one, I take some photos and do not disturb them. I allow them to continue their quest. I encourage you to do the same.

Waterford Crystal

This is just a couple of Waterford Crystal wine stoppers that I've been trying to sell on Ebay. The photo on Ebay isn't as nice as this one, 'cause some Klutz (i.e.; ME) dropped one and chipped off a point. Sucked.

Nephew Jake

This here is Jake, my sister Delma's first grandchild. He didn't know what to think of this hairy old man and never really did warm up to me. This was Thanksgiving Day at our momma's.

Brother's Brew

That's two jars of my little brother's homemade Apple Jack, Apple Pie or Apple whatever ya want to call it.  Each jar has 4 ounces of pure moonshine and the numbers at the top mean that if you drank one jar of this stuff, you'd need to drink 7.6 beers to get the same effect.  :-D

DK Diner

We've been to this little diner twice now, and both times it's been raining. Weird. But what isn't weird is the food.. AND the donuts. I think that's what "DK" stands for; Donut & Kitchen, 'cause if I remember the story right, it once was only a donut shop. Small... but neat atmosphere.

Red Leaf

This tiny red leaf jumped right out against the green grass. I like the busyness of the grass in contrast to the simple, large heart-shaped red leaf as well.
