Fall Colors







This beautiful Maple tree was the highlight of my yard in fall. I use past tense because I no longer live here but the tree does! Note the before and after picture that was transformed for me by my son and the powers of photoshop.

Vend-A-Moo










This is probably limited to the south but I think it's a very cute way to buy milk. Kids love it, especially when the milk comes out and you hear a moo. The cow is a novelty of advertising used in parades and such. It is not usually stationed by the vend-a-moo machines.

Pictures




Photograhpy is sort of a hobby and I've accumulated quite a few shots since getting my hand-me-down camera from my daughter. The two I am posting today were taken in the only inhabited museum in America-The Eckley Miners Village. Site of the movie, The Molly Maguires, it represents the daily lives of the early miners. There are a couple of churches and the one pictured is the Protestant church and home to this grand antique organ. It's quite a place to visit and is touted as one of the darkest places around for astronomers.
