Swallows

For a week or two the swallows take over my end of the town and it's telephone/electric lines. It is absolutely magnificant to watch but HELL to clean up after!

 

This is the house next door. Lucky for us, the lines do not go over our house directly!

 

Amazing eh?

 

And this is all I can take in one picture, but it goes on above 3 to 4 more houses!

Wildflowers

Wildflowers are always so abundant in Pinetown and Westwood this time of year and I never tire of seeing them and their beauty. These are located by the Mill pond!

 

  

A sun ray adds "pretty" to this picture I believe

 

And as usual, my favorite of the day is last.

Note; Happy Birthday big brother!!!!

Follow the signs to Pinetown

Signs on Hwy 36, our main Hwy. These are taken on the corner of Hwy 36 and Hwy A-21 where A Shell Gas station is located. If you are traveling on 36 this is the only station between Susanville (21) miles away or Chester (13) miles away.

 

Coming from Susanville towards Westwood

 

  

To get to Westwood you would take a left here if you were on the Hwy going west

 

1st sign you would see,

 

If you turned your head to the left going down the street

 

  

This is the street towards Westwood once turned 

 

About 2/3rds down the stret above you would see this sign . You turn left here and you are then in Pinetown where I live. Population 300. To get to Westwood you would continue to go straight.

ASwallow on the wire. Here in Pinetown they are all over the place, and most people dont care for them. They build their nests under the eaves of the houses which can at times be quite messy. But I love them. I think they are quite pretty. I thnk we get more of them here than in Westwood (or so it seems) because of the mill pond here.

"My geese are posing"

This is beginning to look like a Duck, Duck, Goose blog, I have been posting so many of them lately. I just can't help myself, I find them so beautiful, graceful and awesome. I also know this will be short lived, they will not be here much longer, at least not this close. So please allow me a few more.

 

This is at the end of my street going towards Westwood!

 

There is a fence there, although it is torn and I could have actually walked up on the field they were acting as if they knew I could not get any closer,

 

Or perhaps they know me by now and they know I am no threat and they were simply "posing" for me. It really does almost look that way!

I think I probably should name these guys, I am beginning to know them so well. LOL!!!

Any suggestions!

My Heron followed me home!

I have no idea if this is the same heron from a couple of days ago at Robbers Creek, but I like to think that it is. Perhaps he followed me home that day, because when I went outside to bring some wood in he was in my backyard on the utility pole. I literally was able to take these shots from below him. He did not even move until someone pulled up in their driveway across the street and slammed the door. Then I lost my "buddy" for today I suspect anyway!

And as usual my best (in my opinion ) for last!

In the snow

Crisp, Clean,Clear and Cold

Crisp, Clean, Clear, Cold and absolutely beautiful is what I found today on my daily walk. It is days like these that remind me that a local Wal-Mart, and several dozen grocery stores, and a place to simply go to , to buy some clothes just does not seem to rank that high in the things that matter to me in my small life. This is what matters. I can never (and obviously never will) get tired of walking down the street and seeing this!

Water Eggs in Pinetown?

Water Eggs is what my husband Dave called these when I downloaded the pictures of them on the computer right now! I think it is a good name for the little water droplets that are forming around the hose. This is different from the one we are purposely trying to do. This is happening due to a broken pipe, although neatly wrapped for winter like is done every year , when we noticed this a couple days ago it was obvious some animal had dug and tugged on our wrap.This spigot is on the side of the house and in winter is not seen very often. Something quite easy to forget about until the spring thaw!
OR UNTIL IT BREAKS!

However it did give me my picture(s) of the day!
And I have to admit that "water eggs" is a good name for these!
I just have not asked my husband WHAT laid these water eggs,
Perhaps it is better that I do not know!!!

PEACE!!!

Hey, I just thought of something,
maybe there is a future in water egg development!!!!

Green amongst white

Green, by far my favorite color, at least if I were asked what my favorite color was I would without hesitation say green, although I may follow it with, "but red comes in a close second."

The picture(s) I chose for today came because my hubby and I had just came back from the store and I noticed what I thought would be very beautiful pictures, due to the sun, and the snow.
However it was not a spot we could just pull the car over and take pictures,
(although I did have my camera with me! =1 point Allison, LOL!!!)

So I opted for a ride home and I decided to walk back to the spot.

On the way I saw what will now become my picture(s) of the day. Greens, all different shades of greens sticking out from the pureness of the color white surrounding them.

These are my pictures of the day!

This scene is simply on the right hand side of my street when you come into the "town" of Pinetown from Westwood.

Beautiful, is it not???

As usual (and I am beginning to say this on every post) I like saving my favorite for last and this one is it. To me it looks as if it could be a frozen lake.
