Happy Sunday Tulips for you.
I took these yesterday on my long walk!
They called my name and I did go. 🙂

Check out the sun reflection on the street, ya baby reflection

sunset (1 of 1)

Check out the sun reflection on the street, ya baby reflection…it stopped me right in the middle of the street. I kept going from side to side to watch it move. I love to do that. I’m sure I look like a deluxe dork. But I really don’t care. I love doing this!

Let me wow you with my sunset skills now! :) kidding

When I first started taking photos I wanted to learn how to take sunset and sunrise photos. That’s what I do best. Sometimes I sit for an hour just watching the magnificent sky! I’m in awe always. How about those colors? I can’t say I’ve ever seen them before. I needed this y’all. What a beautiful end to my week!

Lovely, I’m building can’t you see…a nest for my babies and me
I’ll hold still for just a second so hurry…I think that’s what she said.

Are you believing this? This never happens to me. Birds don’t hold still for me.
I’m cracking up.

Coke, gutters and fences

The tree that was in this spot, literally was hauled off with a semi today. This tree ended up inside the man with the fences home, and his neighbors and also his and smashed his car and the neighbors cars. Freaks me out actually to see it.

This house was so damaged I didn’t want to show it all. This would have freaked me out and to think my house wasn’t touched. Don’t know what that means it’s just so something to me right now. I’m so thankful and grateful for the six homes on my street that were not touched.

Shingles shouldn’t be here

See the tree? The silhouette of the roof shingle? I wanted to say oh look there’s your roof shingle. But instead I just stood here looking at it. Such an odd place for roof shingles.

I cannot express how shocked I was and very humbled. Gee I didn’t have a bad week. Not at all. Well maybe just a little bit but I kept thinking these poor neighbors with holes in their roof and some missing their roofs. Some houses completely gone.

All this damage is in the front of my neighborhood. I live in the back, close to the woods and I have no trees or fences. I do so love trees and fences and roofs. I’ve always loved the patterns of roofs. Seeing them like this really…well I just don’t have words.

 

Broken fences

Afterthestorm (1 of 1)-2

I have fence envy. I’ve always loved this fence. Every morning when I drive by, I see the sunrise through the pickets and I think I’m going to stop and take a photo. Tonight I did regret not taking the time before to admire this sweet man’s fence and all his hard work. I wanted to show you my favorite broken fence, my neighbor just left it like this. Maybe for me to find. I don’t know.

I love this split rail fence with the chain link. I love this man’s fence. I see him outside tending to all the many trees in his yard and I was a bit sad to see his broken fence.
