Where did I go today? 2/21

I went all over the place today...well, mainly all over Plymouth, Carver, and Middleboro.
Plus, it was unplanned but since I was right there I took a ½-hour (more or less) "field trip" to Water St., one of my favorite places.

The sign

The thingie where the rock is

The little handicapped bird - 2/20

This little guy/gal is still around. Don't know what the story is but he/she is flight impaired. He can fly but not very well. It almost seems like he's partially blind, like I thought before. So maybe he's not sure where he's at until he gets close enough thus flying erratically until he has a visual on his destination. I dunno.

Extras - EOS Rebel G 35mm

Just a couple photos for the sake of showing them and to make up for a couple missed days so far. These are taken at various times with my "new-used" 35mm camera.

My car decorated for winter.

In Bridgewater, MA after a snowstorm.

In Middleboro, Long Point Road by Little Quittacus Pond

A little knick-knack I tend to photograph often for some reason

A different vantage point of Oliver Mill - 2/19

Sometimes - ok, fairly often - I don't see the obvious. From this angle I can see the building. I always knew the seemingly random stone walls were remnants of a building. I just never saw the actual shape before, even though it was right in my face the whole time.
OK in my defense, the area I was in when I took this is a part of the park I rarely go into so maybe that's why I never saw it.

Circuit City - 2/18

I was at CC last night - yes it was depressing - but I noticed they have a lot of media on clearance...tapes, DVDs, CDs, as well as batteries, including special camera batteries.
Just wanted to tip people off in case they want to stock up on stuff. Also, music CDs, movies (DVDs). Most of the big stuff is gone. A couple cameras, some printers, some software, Big-ass TVs, mp3 players...
I went to the Plymouth MA store, so your results may vary.
I was mostly pissed off while there, since it's one of my favorite stores going out of business.

P.S. no pic for 2/17 - sorry.

Signs of Spring - 2/16

I tot I taw a puddy willow...and a tit. OK the titmouse isn't a sign of spring but the song he was singing was...and of course the pussy willow buds are...I think.

Jezebellaroni aka Gingerbelle - 2/15

Jezebel actually posed for a treat. I think. She had her heart set on a treat and I told her she wasn't getting one. Then I said let me take a picture and you can have one. Well, she was already sitting there but she stood still when I pointed the camera but was hanging her head down. I said "smile" and she looked up at the camera. lol. So I took the pic and gave her a treat. If it was coincidence this time (and it probably was), next time or times she might remember that she gets a treat if she "smiles" for the camera. She loves her treats and learns fast the ways she can get them.

Valentine's Day (*yuck*) - Birthday Celebration - 2/14

Sally (Allyson's sister), visiting from Alabama, asked me to attend the birthday celebration of her niece with her (She was killed along with her boyfriend, in a car accident. She would have been 19). It was very nice and we had a nice time.
Sally's son was very tired so I gave them a ride back to the house they were staying at. He perked up a little when I mentioned the town hall, as we were driving by it, has been investigated by paranormal investigators. He woke up completely when I told him that I'm a paranormal investigator too.
At the party, each table had a different photo of Keri on it. This is a picture of the display at our table.

Friday The 13th

OK...not a pic by me...and probably not taken today (2/13) but since I had nothing and didn't want a special day such as this - Friday the 13th - to go un-noted, I found the next best thing. Happy FT13th e-1!

Moi ~ 02-12-2009

Well, they say in one of the articles about P-365, to once in awhile put a pic of yourself. Since I'm falling behind again I figured I could do that now. So I did.

Slideshow of Fotki album mentioned in previous blog entry

But visit my Fotki site too when you have time.

After the tree removal... Feb 10

So...big changes here, now that the wilderness has been tamed. Big changes.

I feel like I live in a fishbowl when I'm out there now. Lot's of shrubbery is in order, new trees, fences, a vegetable garden, a shed...maybe a pool. That would be sweet.

Here's the album at my Fotki of all the pics I took (well, most of them) - click the picture to see the "before" version posted on Feb 7 (or just scroll down to Feb. 7). I took some video too but I haven't done anything with it yet.

Flying Trees and a Monkey Man - 02092009

Today the backyard was full of flying trees and a "monkey man". That's what I call the guy that hitched a ride on the crane from tree to tree. He'd cut the top half off and the crane would put it down for the crew waiting on the ground, while he waited on the decapitated tree for the crane to come back...then attach himself and "fly" off to another tree or sometimes to take another section.
Well, I had to go to work before they were finished so when I get some more pics in the morning I'll create an album and post a slideshow or something. I got a few video clips too. It's dark out but it looks like they didn't finish...have to see when the u=sun comes up.
It's very sad to see all those trees gone, but it was fascinating to watch.
