Men & their machines - Part II

We borrowed a backhoe from a friend in NY to do some heavy-duty tearing up. After having the thing schlepped all the way here last night (a story in itself!), no sooner did they back it off the trailer, it quit....in the middle of the driveway...blocking all our cars in. New day & the boys are outside obsessing over their machine.....

Despite much determined contemplating and racing around for parts, still not working by the end of the day.....

So finally managed to tow it out of the driveway and onto the grass....
a new lawn ornament or will they get it running tomorrow?!

Liquid sunshine

Despite all the wrinkles telling me that I get way too much sun,
Doc says I need these too!
(yes, I outwardly pirated your idea! ;o)

Playing with my Macro

Ivoryton, CT ~ "The town that elephants built"

We seem to have an over-abundance this year,
pinging off of everything in great droves.

My Alien rock

Found it on the beach in Florida, as is...

Do you think someone/something is trying to tell me something?

More college visits.
This one had really cool 'architectural details'

desolate

The Frog Bridge

A favorite bridge in CT, it has giant patina frogs on all four corners. The bridge sits at the entrance to an old factory (textile) town, thus the spools. No time to stop on the bridge, so had to snap while zipping across.

second bloom, late in the evening

Field of Dreams

I was sitting in the car playing with the camera during half time and somehow managed to get this ghost affect of the girls and Coach Carufe. The rearview mirror & my camera lens lined up in some weird way that I could repeat the effect over & over. The fence was actually between me & them, but for some reason ended up in the background....not sure how I did it, but thought it was pretty cool none-the-less. Easy pick for today!

Post-OP


Finally brought Mom home from the Hospital.
She wanted her battered body to be the subject of my submission for the day.

Back in NY

Mom's surgery went well
so this seemed an appropriate submission for today.

Waiting of a different sort

Mom is in the hospital.
Waiting for answers, waiting for resolution, waiting to go home.

Retreat day - learning to listen


Listening to beauty out in the wilderness


and still listening back in the concrete jungle.
