Now on display....

We were out and about yesterday and I thought to take my little camera...the above tree has been begging to have it picture taken for days.
 Below is another shot of it...from a different viewpoint.

It is just glorious.  Later, I am going to post another photo of it over on Time Stand Still...it won't look like the same tree, but I suppose it is the position of the sun in relation to it.

Here is one that is just starting...still, it is beautiful.  These were taken yesterday.  I am loving the display of fall colors.

Now for today...not trees.

Eagles.  Not good pics either...but exciting nevertheless.  This evening, Sarah, Tootie, Roger and I were headed to the front porch to sit in the shade  little while.  Sarah says, "Is that an eagle?"  It was.  "Is that another eagle?"  I say, I do believe it is.

I so wish we had went out just five minutes earlier...the minute we saw them, they were starting to head out....I suppose to go back over by the river.  I ran in to get my camera.  Even thought it took less than a minute, they were getting farther and farther away.  Still, so thrilled to see them.  We have not seen any from our yard in way too long...

In a school yard....

This was in the Lima Brighton School's yard...this school is in Howe.  There was no sign to tell anything about it.  We wondered if it came from the original school.

It sure does stand out.

We recently drove through the strip pit area...no birds to speak of but did see a few deer.  These were the first we seen...back in the shade, near a wooded area.

The ones in the above photo, and the two following photos were about a mile away from those in the first photo.

The two deer above did not stand long until they turned and ran back in the bushes...

It took us a while to spot the girl above...the 5 deer in these last 3 photos were all right there close to each other....the two in the first photo were easy to spot, then, we spotted the ones in the next photo.  We were about to leave when I noticed the one in the third photo.

Not your typical phone booth

This 'Amish phone booth' was actually leaning....I wondered had it been hit by a car or just what had happened.  I have wondered how they work...is it a typical pay phone, or does the Amish family pay for it, or, does the community pay for it?

EDited to add:  Read Tom's Comment about how the phone bill is paid.

And I did know they are not really phone booths, but was trying to be funny.  They are called phone shacks.
