Grandpa gnome looks like he's ready to tell you a story. I love the detail of the cabbage leaf that his shirt is made of...

For some reason this little reading gnome reminds me of one of our customers...
This would be me (sleeping), if I were a gnome...
Just like indoor outdoor carpet
My Aunt lives in Arizona and isn't able to get around like the used to. She loves Christmas... Lights, concerts and everything about it. She'd love an event like that.
Very nice indoor photo. Something I could never do on Kodachrome 64, my film of choice. Digital sure changed things.

This looks like something that @C.J. built! He’s the carpentry King! great photo!
Oh, that's cool.
Be nice waking up there on a summer morning, but not tomorrow morning. Not if it was near me anyway
I made a shake slicer years ago for my girlfriend. It had a powerful 60 rpm motor from a commercial copy machine. It used a .025" utility blade. I'd cut 1 inch off the end of a cedar fence board, then feed it into the cutter as the motor rotated.
Kind of a Ranco Shake-O-Matic.
Safety wise? 
No, not approved at all. 
I made little "bird house" thingys and shed decorate them and add lights, stained glass windows and moss etc.
......yes, ....of course I still have the Shake-O-Matic.
3-mile 1st Day Hike with a group at the marsh. Caught this lucky bluebird along with a couple of snowflakes in the background! Off to a great start in 2025!
You know CFR I live approximately 120 miles from you and have lived in Michigan 56 years and have never seen a bluebird here. Must be to cold for them.
There's a pretty good population at the marsh where I walk a lot. They started putting out nesting boxes for them several years ago to help increase the population. They definitely aren't as common as say robins, cardinals or bluejays, more like warblers and orioles. You see them occasionally, but not a common sight. I was surprised to see this one hanging around so late at they generally have migrated south by now. They are my mom's favorite bird. She's always glad when I get a picture of one.
The dark-eyed juncos have been migrating in to us the past month or so. I love to see them. They are lively little birds! They are fun to watch in the snow. I caught this one about two weeks ago at one of our county parks.
That's my dream home. I think it would be fun to get it back to original.
I have a cable arriving today to connect my flash drives to the phone....... I never knew these were in existence.

Well..... Let's try something.
Now, if I can ever do this again.
This is off of a flash drive to my phone. Most files I scanned at like 48mb, so I'm not sure if this site resizes them. I don't even know how large this one started our as.
Anyway, I named it Jims poppy.
I worked for the fella and his wife a few times and he asked me to stay at his home whenever they took a vacation or cruise.
It was a dozen miles up the river and his home was right next to the river. Where he lived, the river was still affected by tides.
This was in his garden.

This a is a wave bursting high into the air. The people are standing 75 to 90 feet above the ocean. No, that's not a large bush on the right side of the photo. Look close on the left side of the wave burst. See my pet seagull. His name is lucky

One of my lucky ones. Shot just before dark. My exposure time was about 1/4 seconds as I recall... Maybe 1/2.
I watched the pilot boat head out and disappear into the fog bank. A couple hours earlier I saw the ship offshore, awaiting the arrival of the pilot.
So, I knew why the pilot boat was headed out. It was just a waiting game. Sometimes it's clear along the beach and the fog just sits offshore like a brick. No way would I ever be able to get these ducks back in a row, so this ones special.
