Welcome To The "Throwback Thursday" View

Today's throwback post is sort of a "throwback to the second power". Hailing from December 19, 2014 is a throwback of a retro photo. If you look at the original post here you will see what I mean. But for now have a look at this cool lightning I captured n 2010.

Welcome To The Wednesday View

As I was in our back yard this afternoon filling up the feeders at the Cafe I noticed how our rose bush has bloomed. It has several flowers and seems to be doing very well. I was slightly concerned with it's location when I first planted it but it was the best place I could find so I went with it. And it's turned out to be the perfect spot. Today I would like to share one of the flowers bathed in afternoon rain.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

Today we step away from our Lancaster trip and head back home and into the Cafe. While sprucing up on Sunday I came across some cool subjects. What makes them cool is that they are every day sites that are interesting when you take a closer look. To me at least.

On Sunday I shared a woodpecker feather and today I am sharing another close up view. This time it's a fallen leaf from our weeping willow tree. Our weeping willow is one of the first things that drew my attention to what has become our beautiful back yard. Actually it was the tree and it's colorful leaves that coated the grass when we first stepped foot here in the Fall. 

For some reason the leaf displayed in today's photo stands out to me.

Welcome To The Monday View

Hi folks! 

Well the projects continue and to tell the truth I am beat. But like I said yesterday things are coming together and it's looking better and better around here. Pretty soon we'll be decorating for Halloween.

For today's photo I would like to share a snapshot I made while we were in Lancaster County on Saturday. This is a farm view as seen from Kitchen Kettle Village.

Welcome To The Sunday View

Today Kim and I caught up on a lot of yard projects that have kind of been put on the back burner over the Summer. Oh I have maintained everything pretty well but there are projects that need to be done. I am not kidding when I say that we have been working since 8 am this morning. But all of that hard work is paying off and things are looking good. There's still a ways to go but I can see it coming together.

While doing some leaf blowing today I came across what became the subject of today's photo. As many woodpeckers that I see every day I have never found a woodpecker feather. Well I found one today and now I am sharing it with you. This is from a Downy Woodpecker.

Welcome To The Saturday View

After all the rain last weekend brought us mother nature has done a complete 180 and has given us a wonderful day to spend outside. Kim and I took advantage of it and spent the day in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. We were all over the place and took in a lot of really nice scenery and naturally a grabbed a shot or two. All of them snapshots because I didn't bring my camera but I did get some good stuff. For today's photo I would like to share this one with you.

Nothing particularly special. I just think the sign looks really cool.

Welcome To The Friday View

On Monday morning as I was enjoying the break in the bad weather we had all weekend I had some company. Our dog Schnitzel joined me to get some fresh air and some rare sunshine. Schnitzel is a very difficult subject when it comes to being photographed. He literally hates it and will not cooperate. So when I was able to get this shot I knew I had to share it.
