Preen Like a Queen

A goose carefully grooming her (his?) feathers. I'm not sure how to tell a male from a female goose, but there must be a way!

Piggy Pile

Almost three years ago, we had five adorable beagle puppies join us. Here are three of them snuggled up together having a nap in their bed/pool. They were so much fun.

Welcome to Holland!

Well, not really. But I can't resist a gaggle of tulips like this one.

Lilacs

The lilacs did survive the frost I thought had gotten them. Hardly little fellows, I guess.

Visit here to see more Sepia Scenes!

This old chair was on the porch of an antique store. I'm not sure if it is safe for sitting anymore, but it looks great for decorating.

Dandy Lions

Many people don't like dandelions, but they are the favorite flower of little children. Kids will keep busy picking them on the playground, so they can carry them in their little fists into their teachers. I think they are happy little "flowers", and the sight of them all over the place is joyful. Maybe we should all take a minute to look at things through the eyes of a child.

Back Yard Visitor

My husband called me outside and pointed out two deer who were in the woods at the edge of our yard. We slowly crept up on them, and managed to get a couple fairly decent shots before they snorted loudly and took off. I hope they keep out of the garden!

The Long Dusty Road

A typical dirt road in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. It is a big farming county, although, sadly, the number of farmers who can afford to stay in business is dwindling.

Weatherbeaten

An old shed door in need of some paint. Or maybe the peeling textures are "appealing".

More Tulips

What can I say? These are among my favorites. Maybe because they are so fleeting in their existence.

A Tree Full of Blossoms

This was taken in downtown Troy, in front of the bank. Lovely white blossoms, which the bees were thoroughly enjoying!
