Between the rains

Saw this on the way home from Cleveland. Haven't seen a rainbow in awhile. It was most welcome yesterday.

Via the iPhone - my first attempt at fireworks photos

Evening walk

Photos at home

These two found some remains to clean up in the field across the road. The next day there were 16 more in the same place so the find must have been significant tho it isn't visible. It was too windy to get a good photo of the mob.

The man who owns this property yelled at me when I parked briefly to take this photo. I yelled back what I was doing and he said OK.

Three of the feline residents on the cathouse roof. Tim munches while LittleOne (who is really quite large now) and Tommie watch me.

Walking to and from the winery

Lago Winery, Jamestown, PA

Angry sky, angry lake

We had a brief period of sunshine Saturday but it was between storms. This and the following were taken on my way to Cleveland to get the Macbook fixed.

Obviously the weather deteriorated quickly.

The following photos were taken today, Palm Sunday. This is the view out from our bay toward the beach. The long island is on the left.

This is from the "tracks" looking up the lake toward the Century Club. The wind was from the west which is across the lake. We rarely see wind strong enough to make waves across the lake but we had it today. The ponding in the foreground is unusual as the lake is very high. My neighbor had photos of the water overflowing the spillway earlier in the week. We've had a little rain.

Looking across the lake again from farther up the tracks.

Snow on 3.11.11

The clothesline holding the feeders pulled the siding away from the house in the wind. When they sided the house they didn't make sure the hook went into the house. Ugh.

Evening view

It was almost dark when I went over to the neighbor's to deliver her mail and water her palm tree last night. Took this photo of our bay from their porch.

Snow 12.13.10

The bay has disappeared as have the "tracks".

The birds are feeding. You can see the corner of the blue ladder which will have to be used shortly as the satellite signal is breaking up. The oil tank was filled this morning. Ouch but should be ok till fall unless the winter is bitter cold.

Took this earlier this morning before the snow started in earnest.

These are embiggenable.

Nighttime 11.21.10

The moon was behind thin clouds tonight making trying to photograph it irresistible.

This is my neighbor's woodstove which heats their water and their house. The light illuminating the smoke is behind one of the trees on the right.

The third photo is the only one taken with flash on which is why they are a little blurry.

Sunset

This is November?

Shirley and I went walking today. This is a field up at the nature preserve near Linesville. You can't see it in this photo but there is a deer carcass in the field. We could see some birds on the carcass including a huge brown one but we couldn't see them well.

This is a closer view. Sorry I couldn't get a better photo. A lady with a huge telescope appeared and said it was an immature bald eagle and a couple of crows. Shirley had never seen an eagle before. We walked the nature path and found a bunch of people with telescopes watching when we got back. An adult eagle was on the carcass so the first lady let Shirley look thru her scope. There were more than a dozen other eagles, mostly young ones, in trees in the neighborhood. It was very exciting for Shirley. I enjoy seeing the eagles but see them often enough to not get excited.

Then we walked my neighborhood woods. This is the north entrance to our bay.

This is a pond north of our bay.

This is the view from what used to be a party cliff up the lake.

It certainly was a gorgeous day in the neighborhood, especially for mid November.
