Canada Geese


 The style of fence is called dogeared. It is the shot I got while trying to capture Canada geese  flying over head.

 

It is just blind shooting but I did get some view of them flying over. The weather is warmer so they are flying from pond to pond and to open grain fields to find more food.

Morning Light


 When I turn the light on in the morning I am reminded of Africa and Maine, USA.  The lighting isn't great for the picture but the shapes of the animals  from Kenya are the first things I see.  I am amazed as to how they local artists from the country capture the essence  of the movements of the animals. I also have starfish and dollars from the state of Maine. 

The artist must see the animals in real life to be able to capture that turn of the neck of the giraffe. Bad lighting but one can still see the shapes of the sculpture forms.

Caboose


 I have four different ones to different trains. The trains I use to see as a kid while waiting for our car to cross always had a caboose. Sometimes one would see a hobo riding on the top of one of the cars. There were no ways to communicate with the back of the train except for flags that would signal a message. The windows above the caboose allowed the person to see up towards the front of the train.

Cold Sunrise


 It is 4 degrees F. and the sun is going to shine for a few moments. You can see that there is a cloud cover that will take over by middle morning. The earth has tilted back enough that I can see the sun again and the neighbor's house doesn't block its view anymore. I walked out on the deck to get to the farther side to the east on it to get the most of the view. I had to dodge some small snow drifts that are still around on a few boards. I should put some shoes on before going out there.
