Substantive Post. Well, sort of.

Gee, what am I going to do when Kathleen goes to college? I'll have to find something else to take pictures of! lol. I was playing with Photoshop for a friend, and threw this together. I cut her out of another pic, created the damask background, and popped her back in front of it. I like the modern look it has. Pretty cool.

So Saturday, I went for another of my drives. I've been doing that a lot lately. It's good for clearing my head. And people, my head needs some serious cleaning! Anyway....I ended up across the river at Olana again. I just love it there. The views are amazing at any time of year, and the architecture is incredible.

Love the copper gutters...wish I could afford some o' those!
This fence always begs me to take a picture:



I tried to make this picture of the Rip Van Winkle bridge look like it was taken sometime in the 60's. Not bad, eh? I took this pic from the back side of Olana. There are views in every direction, pretty much.
....and on my way home, I pulled over to get a picture (or seven) of the Athens Lighthouse.
I adore this little brick beauty.

So Diane, was that good enough? Do you wish I would ruminate more about the meaning of life, or are these pics good enough? ;)

Pardon My Dust!

I'm trying to get my background image to load properly, and I'm having a devil of a time. I'll get it right at some point. Sorry if it's giving you googly eyes. :)

Edit: OK. I think I've got it! Now maybe I can upload a post with substance! (Don't hold your breath.)

Fall--A Poem

shadows
light
blustery breezes
carrying leaves
in tiny tornadoes
swishing
turning
new paths
discovered
rejected
surfacing
searching
lifting
embracing
shadows
and
light
and the
moon
full as
faces
filled
with smiles
and laughter
on lips
for
fall is
here
singing
glory
to all
who will
listen.
