This morn it snowed and sleeted for just a little while. I actually was beginning to think we might get a good dusting, when it quit. Then my daughter wanted to know if I wanted to run to Walmart with her...we took a little detour on the way there and back. And after we got back, Roger and I went back out to the 'detour.' By detour, I mean the strip pit area where several of my photos have come from this past few months.
I did not get the images I wanted either time..not good images. So will go back and try another day. But I did get these. I feel like this vulture is looking over his shoulder say, "Hey, you want to come over to my place?" I don't know why, but that is the first thing I think when I look at it.
Anyway, I would estimate that 95% or more of the trees in this area are bare...just one with color every now and then. When we were over in Paris, going down a street where there was no place to park, there was one tree that was almost a red as brilliant as the barn in the last picture.
At the local strip pit, most of the moss was gone, but there were still these lily pads. When I first got close, there were lots of bubbles coming to the top..we wondered was a turtle down below or what.
As for this barn, it really is this color red. I did not alter this picture anyway. It is a color red that will about knock your eyes out in real life. And notice the mower in the foreground...when I was a kid we had one of these that was for horses.
I came across this the other night and thought it just looked so inviting...makes me wish I had time to go back and retrace some of our rambling around.
I had forgotten about this one...looks like some lives in it...I first thought they lived in the upstairs, but then looking at it the other night I wondered about what the bottom was used for. Either way, I would love having the upstairs for a home.

The above is not the greatest image, and for that matter neither is either one below. The ones below are actually two different images...one taken with flash and the other without. I am not sure which I liked the best.
So, being that I am running late and didn't have anything on my mind to publish, I thought I would show these. And at the same time, if you are like me and enjoy good photography, I would suggest Don's Slackwater. I just a few days ago finished going through all his photographs. They are wonderful. I will probably go back from time to time just to look at them again...I wish I had kept a list of my favorites.
