Unsightly lines?

I think there is some irony in the fact that I found this tree in Los Angeles:

Even more so when I realized that it's on the boulevard in front of a dermatologist's house!

Ugly or Beautiful......It's in the eye of the beholder

Well, although bugs creep me out most of the time, I do like taking a good picture of them. So here's a "Is it ugly or Beautiful" post. hmmmmm..............can we choose a subject or am I breaking the rules????

Big and Little

I haven't got a couple of adorable big and little animals, so I though I would shock and amaze you with a different type of big and little.

Big and little PILLS!

The little orange pill is so small that if I have to pick one up at work, I bust out the tweezers. The big white pill is soooo large I don't know how people swallow them!

Big and Little part two

Here are mine. They're so much fun to have around. Sure can cheer you up when you're feeling down sometimes. And they always seem to know when I'm sad :)

And thanks for inviting me here, this should be fun :)

Big Little

Since I dragged everyone down (including myself) with my post below, I am jumping in with an idea that's got a lot of happy and cute potential. BIG and little.



My little poodle is on the left. Our next door neighbor's GINORMOUS mutt is on the right. They are good buddies.

We call it the destruction site

To the right is my neighborhood. To the left WAS a forest when we bought our house.

So sad.

Bye Bye Bridge

I too have been absent for some time. Here's my construction shot - the new Lake Okanagan Bridge.

And a shot that wasn't taken through the windshield:
I took these photos as I was driving from my old house for the last time en route to the airport as I continue my long, drawn out move from British Columbia to Ontario.

Never thought that photos of a construction site would make me get teary.

In no particular order...

yeah I am a little late with some of my finds...due to computer problems and a touch of laziness so here is an older topic (oddly enough one that I suggested, oh well)
My dirty little secret is that I hate to unpack my suitcases...I will leave them for months sitting around and we will live out of them...and then it will take several more months before they get put away...and generally we travel so much that they never get put away...what is a girl to do?!

Construction on Peachtree

Here's what's happening on Peachtree Road as recorded by my spy camera:

This crane is building this:

This condo complex is going to be huge.

And this crane is working on another set of condos only a block away.

This crane? Beats me. It's working on something near the hospital.

Now, this is all within one mile along Peachtree. I can only hope I'm gone before people start moving in. Traffic is going to be horrendous!

Enjoy!

Water Towers

Minneapolis has several historic water towers. This oneabove is called The Witches Hat tower, and is located on the highest point in the city. The view from there is gorgeous.

Here's the other one, called The Washburn Water tower, named for the neighborhood that it looms over, and my old high school. The stone carvings on this one are make it look very ominous if you stand directly underneath. Both of them are prime tourist spots and very lovely places to be.

Construction

Around here, summertime means one thing....construction! So, how'z about a picture of some heavy construction machinery?

What's building in your neighbourhood?

Mixed messege's and Ice Cream

@ the ben and jerry's factory in Waterbury, VT I don't think they know if they want you to come or go...or maybe this is like a test for a new ice cream flavor..."do nut know what your doing" maybe it will have choc./van/coffee/strawberry/banana ice cream with every nut you can imagine and a chocolate swirl...oh heck what do I know I just went thru the door.

All along the Watertower....

Sorry, but this topic brigs Jim Morrison to my mind. And here is a shot of one of 3 watertowers that I pass on a regular basis. The others didn't turn out as well.

Edit: As Bezzie pointed out that should be Hendrix! My bad....

Peonies!

It has been the best peony year ever! I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that we are moving this summer. They must have overheard my husband and I talking and decided to perform well so they would be dug up and taken with me - like I don't have enought OTHER stuff to do besides dig up a bunch of plants and then RE-PLANT them 5 miles away. Oh well...gotta do it.

My Hometown Water Tower

I think I have posted before when we did the "Home of the giant..." that my home town has a huge pumpkin fesival in the fall that draws huge crowds and media attention. Well we are a lil pumpkin crazy there so why not paint the water tower to look like the very gourd that brings such wonderful revenue to our little town?

Watertower found!

It's not very tall, so I didn't find it until I was right up on it. So here you go! A nice view of my town watertower's undercarriage.

all along the watertower

When I first started this project, this was a subject I really wanted to do... I have been a sorta lame host, falling off the wagon in recent months, but I am lovin the way you all have picked up the camera and run with it!! Do you have one of these??

Howz it growin?

Here is my happy spot...



Clockwise from the onions, potatoes, sunflowers, cabbage, broccoli and raspberries....



from the other corner, black raspberries, tomatoes, pinto beans, and poles ready for some green beans too...

Howz it growin'?

Well it was growing good til they died...yup I took this a while ago I just haven't posted it yet, and now I need to get down and take pix of the tiger lillies that have taken their place....I did not plant these, which is why they are doing so well. We have been in our house almost 2 years, and they just keep coming back and I love it. If I had anything to do with these I am sure they would be dead by now. So I am going to enjoy them as long as I can.

I will take a picture of the new flowers and add later.

Howz it Growin?

We're growing a sweet pea in our house. Here it is in November:
