Roses from my backyard
I think I just got a little too close - not being used to having a zoom function. I'm going try this shot again and step back a little bit. If that doesn't do the trick, there is a setting on the camera for "Flowers" I'll try.
Horse Hitching Post
The town I work in has a number of homes with hitching posts out front. I don't think I have ever since a horse in town - except maybe during a parade and even then, I don't remember ever seeing one!
Another Hitching Post
There are actually three or four of these hitching posts made from solid memorial grade rock. I started laughing at myself while taking the picture thinking well... is the thinking behind these hitching posts, whatever it might be, "better or worse" than eternity balls?
My Grandparent's Apartment (first floor, left)
My mother's parents moved into town after my Grandmother had a stroke and my Grandfather needed some help caring for her. I went with my mom a bunch of times to visit. It was a lot nicer place back then - 30 years has taken its toll on the building. I see the place nearly every day now, as its on the way when I walk the company mail over to the post office.
The Bottle Tree Guardian
This fierce looking beasty was guarding the bottle tree today. :) Such a face. I kept my hands in view and made sure it understood I had no intention of taking a bottle home with me.

Great pics, Iggy. You did good with that new camera. Those hitching posts are interesting. I guess they go back in time to the history of your area. Really cool. (you mean you don't have a horse?)
Love the pic of the cat...and the caption that goes along with it. LOL
I think the picture of the roses looks great. I'm glad they are keeping the hitching posts even though they no longer use them. Have fun with your new toy! Am looking forward to seeing many, many more pics!
Nice pix!! What a beautiful beastie. Was that an obelisk shaped hitchin post? Is it possible they're to hook UFOS to so they dont float away while the alien is visiting??
