Smack-Dab In The Middle Of The Road

Most of us have either seen a roundabout either in person or on TV. So how many have seen a City Hall smack-dab in the middle of the road? Well you have now.

I Am A Fly Not A Bee

Not a very catchy post title but the truth none the less.I have taken a few shots of the Hoverfly in the past but never knew what they were exactly. I found them almost exclusively flying around or feeding of flowers. It turns out the Hoverfly feeds on nectar, is a pollinator and an important player in controlling the aphids. They also can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Or simply put , I am a fly not a bee, though a very important fly indeed!

Green Sweat Bee

“Did Ya Hear That….

…..I think I heard sleigh bells last night! “, said The Boy this morning. Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and joy-filled Hoildays!

Peace on Earth

Pretty Old Doors

These doors are old and are on the backside of an old jail in Bardstown, Ky. The original jail was built in 1819 with an addition built in 1874. This wall and doors were part of the 1874 build if I am not mistaken. So in my opinion that makes them pretty old doors.

Nice Place You Have Here

At first glance you may think this was someones home but it is a display in one of Bardstown, Ky’s awesome shops.

Hidden

Yesterday The Bide and I took a little road trip and ended up in Bardstown, Kentucky. If you find yourself in the Commonwealth of Kentucky I highly recommend a visit to Bardstown. It is a quiet and beautiful small town with a lot of things to see and do. We wanted to visit a friends small soap shop and look around the other the small boutiques, food, spirits and craft shops. That along would keep you busy for a day and then there are the historic sites and not to mention the Bourbon Trail. (That in it self can keep one busy and happy for a few days!) But this day was about slowing down and looking around.The shops are small businesses and have many challenges surviving as such but for those who sell Christmas items one challenge is how to display them among their main-line merchandise. Some simply do not deviate from their many business model at all and offer special deals, while others have completely re-done their places for the season. One shop had what I would call miss-mash style:All Christmas and regular store stock were displayed nicely but very much intertwined and overlapped the other but it seems to work. Mostly. As I was looking about I found this scene, A very cheaply made snowman next to a very nice candle holder, the kind you set a candle inside of. Right in the middle is what maybe a someone visual rendition of the Virgin Mary kind of hidden there. Well that was a lot of word to cover one picture but there you go!

A Splash of Color

The Bride and I visited an old cemetery today. I will have more to post when I am more awake and somewhat rested but here is a splash of color from the day.
