That's My World Tuesday: Sunday Crossing Town

Bill and I have gotten in the habit of walking on Sundays, usually at one of the lakes near by.

This Sunday, we drove across town to Lake Johnson and since Bill was driving I was photographing from the car.

The first two shots were taken on Peace Street (Raleigh NC). The shot above is of Needham Broughton High School.

The shot above was taken as we turned left from Hillsborough St. and cut through North Carolina State University (NSCU).

The shot above and below were taken during our walk at Lake Johnson.

After our walk we drove past the movie theatre on avent ferry Rd. and I shot the wall art on the building.

We had lunch in the seafood Restaurant at the Farmer's Market and I photographed the car we parked next to.

Heading home we were once again on Hillsborough St. and I took a shot of the NCSU bell tower.

When we reached Wake Forest Rd. I took a shot of the funky building below.

That's a cross town Sunday in my part of the world. Click for the home of That's My World Tuesday.

The Weekend in Black and White: a flock hides within

I need to cut away last years dead growth in my ornamental grasses to make way for the new, but every time I get close to it a bunch of birds start flying out or scream at me from within.

SkyWatch Friday: Loving the clouds

We had a chilly start this Wednesday and I went outside to get the ice out of the bird baths.

I was struck by the clouds and their fullness as well as breaks for a little blue.

I'm also remembering to enjoy the winter trees before they start leafing out as I like bare branches against the sky.

ABC Wednesday: Fancy Fire Fixtures

Last week I showed you an elegant entrance at the Colonial Governor's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. This week I thought I'd take you inside the same palace for a look at some fancy fire fixtures.

Above is a fancy furnace in the dining room. Below is a fancy fireplace in the map room.

The fanciest fireplace is in the main entrance room but there were so many people around it that I only managed a shot of the fancy firearms and swords on either side of the fireplace. There is also a candle which can produce a flame when lit.
