Keep Your Camera Handy. You Wouldn't Want To Miss This One!!

PICTURES OF HOMES ANYONE?

Sure, that's easy.  We take photos of homes often.  They don't move around.  However, for some fun, keep your camera at the ready while driving around.  You just never know what jewels will present. 

This scene presented itself while I was driving around surveying storm damage in my area of Loudoun and Prince William County last Saturday.

Enjoy.

 

Geese Crossing Road

 

Yes, I did get photos of storm damage.  The below was shot in Lovettsville at the Three Sisters Antiques Shop.

And Lenn, those moments of nature with the family crossing are priceless. But you have the photo to jog the memory.

I've got and OLD point and shoot, but it still takes great pictures. I've wanted to get a DSLR camera, but the President of my company has one, and says, "borrow anytime you want" so I guess I'll keep the $500 in my pocket.

Blogging has made me take pictures of the most bizarre things.. I probably need to do a post just about bizarre pictures!

 

Happy July 4th and you have power and a/c!

I saw three moms and baby deer crossing roads on my travels yesterday looking at trees down on my clients' homes.  They had BRIGHT white spots and were walking very slowly

I have to admit, I have never heard of a "land hurricane" before.  It was very interesting to stand on my deck, protected by a wall, and watch the trees in my back yard angle horizontal!

Lenn there are so many great photos just waiting to be taken out there.  I love the ducks crossing, and to catch the aftermath of destruction is lots of times amazing.

That first photo is so darn cute!  The second photo ... not so much.  I hope no one was seriously injured during the destructive storms!

Thomas.  I DO have power, but no A/C.  My camera is about 5 years old but it's fine.

Wallace.  That would make a great shot.

Gay.  I have two in case I forget one.

Dorie.  Thanks. It was a lovely scene.  They were not in any hurry either.

Barbara.  My elec. came back on Sunday afternoon.  However, the A/C is out.

Jeanne and Ralph. Indeed.  They are always fun.

Valerie.  In deed.  It was only 6 years old.  One would think it would bend and not break.

Roger.  I did too.  I thought I'd share it.

Jay.  You must have looked when the wind was at it's worse.

Cheryl.  Folks do love potos of animals, especially wild ones.

Fernando.  Funny.

Mary.  It's been several days of memorable scenes.

Carie.  No one I know, thanks.

Lou.  I live my good old Canons.

Adorable. I cannot believe all these people stopped. Most would just drive through and run them over.

My daughter woke me up saying to go save the umbrella on the deck!  It had blown out of the holder and was blocking windows!  I went out there and thought I was going to be Mary Poppins and get picked up and floated over to a lake nearby!  It was very blowy!
