One Night Before a Full Moon

I don't know why I shot this at such a low ISO but here it is.  Tomorrow is a full moon but tonight will be the only night to get anything as tomorrow it is suppose to rain....90% chance.....lots of rain they say.  Sump pump started last night and is running every 22  seconds.

Anyway, I shot this at 100 for 30 secs at f~5.0 with the lens at 270mm.  Hence the star trails and clouds out of focus, I mean moving, I always shoot in focus.  Santa won't visit me tomorrow after that big lie.  No matter, this is pretty much right out of the camera.  You'll have to blow it up to see how many of the little stars I caught.

Landing Gear This Year....Wheels!

No Santa....we aren't going to put the runners on the sleigh this year.  Get over it.  December, mid-sixties, rain and fog.  This morning just the fog.

There was a bright shininess to the trees as the sun came up and started to burn off the fog.  It looked as if we had had a little ice over night but it was just from the rain.  Just keep the wheels on Santa.

No One Guessed What the Project Was

Only one person tried to guess on what my project was, you can see it in an earlier posting.  I couldn't put the results up until after Thanksgiving.  Our daughter has a motorcycle that she enjoys to ride so I thought I would make a bike for her to put in her office on a shelf, something she could look at on those snowy or bleak rainy days that lie ahead for the next few months.  Three types of wood, red oak, pine and I'm assuming a dark oak that I took from an old skid.

Ice

Here it is Nov. 23rd and come Thursday it is suppose to be near 60 degrees.  It can hang around all it wants, however, I do believe what we woke up to this morning is more like what is just around the corner.  Indianapolis is just a couple of hours away and they had snow yesterday.

Yes boys and girls that is ice on the pond....No Ice Skating Allowed.

From October 14th

I posted a picture of a bush and explained how it was loaded with purple berries that the birds eat in March.  You could see the berries but now that the leaves are gone you can really see how it is loaded.  Robins seem to like it the most, however I have seen smaller birds in the branches.

Such A Colorful Fall

Here it is, almost Big Bird Day....  Who would have thought that it would be so warm here and that we would have had such a colorful fall.  It proves one thing, water in the spring and summer bring on great colors in the fall.  Of course most of the trees left with colors, and leaves, are primarily Pear trees.

What Is It To Be?

My next and newest project.  Question is, what is it.  Three woods, pine, oak and cherry.  This reminds me, we had a Weeping Cherry tree removed and replaced it with a Blue Eyed Spruce.  I had them save the trunk as it was 5" to 6" in diameter and very straight.  It is in the garage drying.  I also pre-cut two limbs that were all twisted.  The limbs are going to be bird feeders.  An eye hook on one end to hang them from a tree and I drilled some holes with various sizes of forstner bits.  I guess I need to take a picture.

So, what is this?
