Witchy Women

The one who looks like Martha Washington is Moi.  That was not intentional.  My witch hat was ditched early on.

Pretty lights

Flutter By

Nature buffs, please correct me if I'm wrong.  I believe this is a Zebra Longwing.

Wish I could have caught this guy in something other than bright sunlight.

Ugly? Maybe.

There are several wheels in my collection of farm equipment photos.
The farm equipment photo supply will be exhausted soon and I'll move on to something else.

It stopped . . .

 . . . in the middle of the road.

No success in finding comet Pan-Starrs, but I liked this shot somewhat.

For the birds

Last evening the black birds had a wonderful sunset to whirl and twirl beneath.

Four and twenty (Rurality # 2)

There were more like one thousand and twenty blackbirds swirling and twirling around behind my house the other day.

Do you remember the nursery rhyme?

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.

Colorful

It's cold and we're staying in and away from flu germs as much as possible.

There's always something in the house to photograph.

That's Ms. Piggy to you

Told you that I was digging deeper.

This is a pot bellied pig that my brother-in-law and his wife adopted/rescued about ten years ago now.  With some care and better eating habits, she thrived.

I haven't asked recently, but about a year ago they still had her.

Isn't she pretty?

Fallen II

Deanna made me do it.

Use my favorite macro lens, that is.

I hadn't used it in a while.

It is still my favorite lens!

Thanks, Deanna, for reminding me!!!

"Likker"

Taken through a chain-link fence which was temporarily installed around the riverwalk area in downtown Nashville in August of this year.  There was a BBQ contest going on and you had to pay to get in.  We were too cheap to pay to walk around and sample bar-b-que, so we just peered through the fence like outsiders.

Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton was a moonshiner in Tennessee.  He claimed to make the best $%@&* "likker" anyone had ever tasted.

I would have liked to have seen Grand Funk Railroad, but we were leaving too early on the Saturday.  And, on Friday night, The Fabulous Thunderbirds might have gotten our money, but 9 p.m. is pretty much our bedtime even on a weekend outing.
I know, I know, pathetic.

Welcome, my pretties . . .

three tee pees

McFarland Park, Florence, Alabama, U. S. A.

These teepees are near the "regular" camping facilities in the park and can be rented for primitive camping.

Friday's Fence looking to fall

Sorry.  I know you might have expected a beautiful outdoor scene with fallen leaves all around a rural fence.
The truth is that I have no fence this week so I went digging.

Since I really, really want fall (my favorite season) and cooler weather to be here, I thought 

I would take liberties and use this as a fence entry.

Notice the date.  Almost ten years ago.  I've been putting something similar on my 

kitchen counter for a long, long time.

Actually, all over the house.
