A Few From A Few Ago

Old cars in the color of rust is just too cool!

The last few weeks have been pretty full but not with opportunities for some fresh captures so here are a few are from my way-back-files .

A Bright White Door Amongst Old Friends

I love the contrast between this old but well-kept white door and the even older, and equally well-kept, brick walls. This section is a wing of a house in our town that was built in the 1820’s. I hope you enjoy A Bright White Door Amongst Old Friends!

Be Warm

The temp has dropped into the teens and The Bride and I am blessed to warm and toasty. Here is something to keep you toasty as well.

Viceroy or Monarch

I have been calling all butterflies that look like Monarchs just that, Monarchs. This year I bought a book about butterflies and discovered something: Viceroys look like Monarchs or vice versa. Nice to know after four plus decades there is a difference! So I ask you my fellow bloggers which is it: A Viceroy or a Monarch?

A Few From The Day

Earlier today I had mentioned that I have a new home PC. Since I am trying to keep this one as free of clutter as possible I needed to find a solution for storing my captures else where. Because I do almost zero cloud storage of my photos I decided to start backing them up on discs and my second drive on the old my PC. I set up the old PC on my desk in the back office/Brides study room . This PC is set up in the living room in a computer armoire. There are two reasons for that: One is I want to be close to The Bride when she is not studying and secondly to keep my PC safe from the cats because they can bend an anvil!

As I was working on backing my shots up I went through my old desk , which I have not used for a long while, and found my solution for keeping my new PC less junked-up: Two thumb- drives. Score! I will download and edit on my slowly-but-yet-surely-less-cluttered PC and added the media from the thumb-drive. Nice.Since I had a plan and felt it well I went for a little walkabout on our place with my Canon Powershot S3is and the new-to-the-outside cat, Butterfly, as me companions. So here are a few from the day.

A little color for this almost colorless Autumn day.

I have a thing for old fence posts, barn s and old barn wood, rust and nails . Today I get me a little fix of of them all.

Butterfly is making sure I line the shot up right, or maybe she jumped up on the tree branch I was about to take a picture of..... — Butterfly is making sure I line the shot up right, or maybe she jumped up on the tree branch I was about to take a picture of…..

Pictures Past

One of the Fam has gifted me with a new computer for my Birthday. Since it is uncluttered to the ninth degree, something my old computers wasn’t, I will be spending the next several day deciding how to keep this one less disheveled than the last. What does that mean to you? Nothing really but I have need to post so I will be using some pics from my sites past. I will hopefully have some new things to present in a week or so but till then here is Pictures Past.
