Outdoors...

down the road at the Arts Council - new Art has been added to the existing outdoor pieces - this is one I like - I am a person who likes to look at Art - and not have to stand on my head to figure it out - or heaven forbid - ask somebody 'what does this mean?' - there is some of that art [ lowercase ] - might put some of it up - not decided - there is one - absolutely not - makes no sense so won't even post it - so, this was my trip [sort of a side trip, since I had to get groceries] - makes getting groceries a better task - (c) All Rights Reserved

tough to find a decent/safe spot to take a shot of this yellow carpet of beauty - vehicles are on the Interstate - I'm over on the Service Road - don't know who had this idea - ( it was the wife of the Governor in 1985-86 ) kudos ! along many roads in North Carolina - beauty welcomes you - how can one not be happy - when greeted with a large planting of Yellow Day Lilies and wildflowers galore - © All rights reserved Archive Airings AA-250 A NEW SEASON

in an old Cedar - there is a row of them in this cemetery - standing watch over a peaceful place - sounds of traffic in the distance - concerts and symphonies of birds - the trunk is Art - birds have nested here - have found meals - it is a beauty - (c) All Rights Reserved

our street - 2014 before being paved - this machine is over 28 tons - the smoke/dust is from removing the old surface - have no idea how many people or machines went up and down - they certainly had a job for all - if you look at the 'arm' carrying the old surface material - to the truck ahead - that arm can be folded in half for transport on a flatbead - it was quite interesting - took photos from inside - ** 2 PiP ** (c) All Rights Reserved

- didn't see him today, but found him high atop the evergreen - if he ever gets close enough for a really clear shot - I'll probably drop the camera !! (c) All Rights Reserved

- this Mockingbird perched on chimney next door - sang a great concert - in between selections - check out the notes on the top left side - aerial / ballet concert, too! (c) All Rights Reserved

- is a neighbor - loves to bark - has several places of exit - from from his backyard - he barked & barked until I looked at him - " yes, I live over here; we are neighbors." - then, he stopped - but, every time I go out - must repeat the same thing - short attention span canine ? - or just likes to bark ?
