We are supposed to get close to 9 inches of the stuff along with 35 mile per hour winds so it will pile in much deeper amounts here on the edge of town.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-66484540432418073882021-12-31T20:17:05.834-05:002021-12-31T20:17:05.834-05:00Happy New Year Anvil!

THere's one on the end of our street that was finally put up for sale, purchased and rumor has it that new owners will be tearing it down. They only wanted the land to add to what they previously had purchased.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-18991691726197491212021-12-31T15:22:40.293-05:002021-12-31T15:22:40.293-05:00The house is beautiful in its decline.

I always so appreciate the inherent beauty of abandoned buildings, especially the many (often difficult) stories they portray. <br /><br />PipeTobacco PipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-20309356479359900192021-12-31T14:43:40.225-05:002021-12-31T14:43:40.225-05:00I love the mystery of the first shot--but of cours...I love the mystery of the first shot--but of course I ws happy to get a cloer look in the other two.

The birds I have in my current post, when shot with the camera "normally" were barely visible in the branches but when I zoomed you could see the whites of their eyes. Well, not really -- no whites in those eyes, but you could see pretty much every detail! You have more snow than we do, but we're due for six inches tomorrow. <br /><br />Happy New Year -- so glad I discovered your blog.

To be honest, I like the first shot, uncropped, of the lonely landscape with the lonely house in the midst of it. THe long view makes me think of the people who live in it all those years ago. We are so connected in this world, we have forgotten how to be alone. <br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-58612345011408789052021-12-31T07:23:38.320-05:002021-12-31T07:23:38.320-05:00I like the simplicity and quiet of this image.
