Another shot from Mt. Vernon. this is the kitchen where the slaves would prepare the food…

My 2 cats. The black one is Bogey and this is the only known pic of her. She is not very friendly and lives in the basement. I can pet her and pic her up once in a while but she likes to be on her own. She usually hides when I go into the basement. Birdie is a lap cat and a complete showoff. I have many pics of her but she is really not all that fond me taking them…

They had Fords there as well. The cars I mean. This one is an old wooden truck. You would buy the chassis and build your truck body out of wood. Kinda cool. I don’t think MVA would let us get away with that today…

I took a drive up to PA to go to a woodworking show and came across this field. It really looked like one of the default screen savers on my laptop that came with Windows 7. So I figured I would shoot this and replace it on the laptop.

Another shot from the Ford/Edison Homestead. This statue of Edison is under the most amazing oak tree I have ever seen. Not like the big tall oaks we are used to but a sprawling maze of shoots that go into the ground. G9 1/60th @ F5/6…

OK, it goes without saying that the paint job my brother has on his bike is a little off the wall. Posting 4 photos today to kinda show what i mean. the first is of the tourpack on the back of the bike. Yup, This draws attention every time someone walks by. the second is the rest of the bike with the tourpack removed, The third is the front of the bike. The last one is of the proud owner who as you can tell really doesn’t care what you think. 🙂

While we were waiting for my brother to get his bike painted we had nothing to do but drink beer. Damn the luck.:). The guy painting the bike took a brake and did a little modification to Bruce’s kuzy. He seems happy with it….

I believe I may have posted this or something similar before but what the heck. It’s Friday and the little monster bit my ear this morning so she was on my mind. I do remember I did this with the Canon G9 and ex420 with a Gary Fong diffuser. I am happy with the results but not the bite marks 🙂

MONSTER 🙂

Sifting through the lightroom database I cam across Bucky. Bucky is a beer drinking donkey that lives behind the Buckingham blues bar in Buckingham Florida. This is a great little bar that has live music and some pretty good festivals in the winter. There is a nice outdoor area with a good stage for bands. It is a short but fun bike ride from my Moms place in Ft. Meyers. Usually make the trip there when I am in town. Oddly Bucky seems to like Michelobe Amber Bock…

Happy June…. Today I am switching it up a bit. I was up in Ct and took this shot of the clock tower in Waterbury. It is the largest clock in New England and the building used to be the train station. Kinda cool building…. It is easily seen off Interstate 84 if you are driving through Waterbury.
