New neighbors

My neighbors mother died last December and she was the one paying all the bills over there so once she was gone, her daughter couldn't keep up I suppose, so she put the house up for sale. I never in my wildest dreams thought this would ever happen. I also never thought any one would buy it but for a cheap offer and maybe a good eye for renovations , someone did buy it. Here are some pictures I took Friday. I've seen a guy over there a few times now and he has two little boys with him so maybe he plans on moving in with his family but it's going to take a lot of work! These pictures are from the day of the closing so she left it like this for the new owner

Bears, bobcats and owls , oh my

It's all done....The owners called me tonight and asked if I had come by today, which of course I hadn't. They were out of town and didn't even see what I put up yesterday so they were pleasantly surprised to see the whole thing done, including the bobcat. What a great job this fellow did , I'm impressed! I made a nice slideshow on my iPad from start to finish with music and showed them, I have to figure our how to get it off the iPad now!

Bear carving updates

I was surprised when I went by today at how fast this was completed . There is one more part to be done so I'll keep checking on it.

Suffield Ct

I found a fun road yesterday while driving around. Lots of barns and farms but I had the wrong lens on my camera and couldn't get very good pictures. I'll go back next weekend and try again

Spring is in the air

This cardinal was singing his heart out yesterday while I was taking pictures of the bear carvings

Update on the tree carvings

He put two owls up I the top of one side, the other side was supposed to be a bobcat but when he started cutting into the branch it was loaded with ants. So he is going to carve a bobcat out of a log and somehow position it up on what's left of the ant infested side which is the long skinny banch

Same picture....7 different ways..

Caristy , I love your Gramma's place. I drove by after work today and took some pictures of her barn. These are some examples of all the iPad apps and how you can easily change the picture. Seems like cheating to me... But wow! What a difference .

Eyeball

Can you guess who this eyeball belongs to? I'll give you a hint, she's 17

Another weekend of racing

This past Sunday we went to Central Village, CT. I took a lot of pictures as usual, this one really came out as my favorite. I got a new app on my iPad which helped tweek the picture a bit.
