All I can say is a river runs through it!

This is a local river that runs through the city.

You are actually looking East from the resturant on the west side of this city.

The retention pond at the bottom of the picture is actually better color in the photo,

in reality it is kind of green and not so appealing, as is the river.

But the sky above does reflect it's color beautifully off this river to make a nice photo.

When I pulled over to take this picture my husband wanted to know why.

I told him can't you see the color contrasts?

Of course he looked at me like I was nuts.

I probably am, but this photo has some nice colors going on.

Besides the color, it shows that after a devastation it takes a greatdeal of

 time for things to recover, especially trees!

I wish I could say this is a good photo but I had to take it from a distance.

This farmer has all kinds of wooden carvings on his land.

The sun was so bright this day that the wooden figures were hard to get a clear shot of.

This is one that looked like a pioneer with his gun.

This wooden sculpture was made from a tree that actually had grown on this farmer's property.

                    It looks quit angry though. Maybe it is suppose to represent a really bear, if you
                 encountered him in the field. I just was amazed to see all these wooden creations
                  out in a farmer's field. Not only is this person a farmer, but apparently an artist as well!

 

Sometimes my work has a few perks!

I had to do a photo and report for work tonight.

 While I was in this area, I saw this view it was just so nice,

 I had to take the shot.

I do love the water!

And the Flag just set the photo off nicely!

Hope you enjoy it as well.

I saw this in the shadows, When I came around the corner of my house.

I made all kind of noise and it just sat there.

Then I went in for a close up and he put his head up so I could get a picture of him.

It is a young rabbit, not quit a bunny cause he was just a little bigger.

He never moved a muscle, until my husband decided to go into the house and when

he came back out of the house, the rabbit disappeared.

All the noise we made and that rabbit never moved but let my husband

come back out of the house and I guess the rabbit figured there was to much going on for him.

I saw this along the highway and I wondered ,

in this day and age can't they make these power poles

more eye appealing?

I mean first they have to cut through the mass of forest.

Why can't they at least make them more appealing and not

such an eye sore on the landscape?

I realize they serve a important function,but do you really

like looking at these massive invaders amoungst the prestine landscape?

Come on architects,;ets get a better design this is after all 2010!

They say that cows lay down if a storm is coming.

These cows were laying down in the field and

it did start to rain shortly after I took this picture.

So, I think that the myth about cows laying down

before a storm , mught be right!
