The new fire pit

Broke in the new fire pit last night. Tried a time exposure to see how that would work. Several tries and this is the best. Eight seconds I believe. It was a lovely night for the fire, My Beloved and a half bottle of wine.

Sons of the Union

My historical knowledge of the Civil War is not up to par with that of North of 50. He said this memorial we stumbled upon on a summers day walk of five alabaster tombstones and two GAR markers is in recognition of the Grand Army of the Republic. They are dedicated to those who served in the Union Army.

In case they get lost

After putting up 192,700 utility poles, Larry decided it was time to retire. Pole 192,701 will be installed by Willie.

Firemen Frenzy

Who says firemen can't have awesome graphics? Enjoy your retirement JLM.

Balloon Attack

The giant tree obliterates the sky and puts Phileas Fogg in jeopardy.

We are periodically blessed with hot air balloons above our neighborhood. Always a wonderful sight.

Cloud and Moon near Sunset

The real restrictions of using a crappy little camera. This was a very pretty sight but the camera just can't capture the view properly. Of course, having good editing software might help some but I try not to edit images.

Ardennes Forest, 1944

Sgt Saunders ordered the platoon into the Ardennes to look for the German patrol. This is what I always thought the Ardennes forest looked like back in WWII. My first attempt at a b/w photo.
