Ricketts Glen... post 2 of 5...

As I said yesterday... Ricketts Glen is a state park in PA that was well worth the trip and the hike. I'll definitely be going back. In the meantime (and over the next few days) I'll let my photos speak for me.

And the reason we went there...

This one too... clickity-click.


If I had known about the party under the falls, I would've brought my suit.


"Golum wants his preccccciousssssss BACK!"


Deep thoughts and running water.


Stop by tomorrow :)

Ricketts Glen... post 1 of 5...

Ricketts Glen is a state park in PA that was well worth the trip and the hike. I'll definitely be going back. In the meantime (and over the next few days) I'll let my photos speak for me.

We decided to take the easier path because we started late in the day.


The Wagg came along for the hike.


I wouldn't recommend bringing a dog that spooks easily or pulls...


One of the easier descents.


Leaving a mark on the world.


Come back tomorrow. And in the meantime...

Carletta has it her way, right away last week!

Here is What Is It Friday? #129



Carletta was able to see right through my hints ;)



The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.

Snowballs in summer...

A small part of a garden's ecosystem...

Just because it's Monday doesn't mean I can't critter up my blog :) Click away to see this little bug(ger) up close... desktop style!

Hopper shopper...

Not hopping, but shopping among our garden goods...

Yes... that's my knuckle... and yes, I moved him away from our veggies. :)

Protector of the garden...

Measured in fear...

I was trimming back my out-of-control holly tree and came face to... um... pincers with this stick-like creature. Upon closer inspection I realized that it looked like a HUGE inchworm. Now, the a inchworms I've seen in the past were cute and would crawl along an inch at a time. This monster was as thick as a No. 2 pencil and about 6 inches long! Do you dare click this image for a desktop sized version???


It was hanging upside own and VERY still with a piece of silk connecting its body to a lower branch. I thought it might be getting ready to spin a cocoon, but it was gone when I checked for it the next day. For that moment where I stared from an inch away... a hint of fear... and a bit of disgust ;)

At the car show... Day 5 of 5...

Car? What car? Where do you see a car?


At first she just walked by with a guy holding a camera.


Next thing I know she is posing and twirling her hair.


At the car show, this little number definitely has the curves to win a prize.


I think I saved the best for last... ;)
Oh, and there's a Ford Mustang in there, somewhere.

At the car show... Day 4 of 5...

I know, I know... "Car show"... oh well


This bike was worth it. Did you notice how long it is? Two lengths of chain running that monster.


Here is another monster... Usually a bug has a small engine in the rear. This one had a custom hood, as you can see, with a Chevy smallblock 305 in the front. The rear wheels on this thing were a good 2.5 feet wide, each!


Built for the autobahn... this Lambo had four carburetors on its engine. Pure speed.

At the car show... Day 3 of 5...

Three things I love in no particular order...

Chopped low riders...


Chevys...


And Chargers...

At the car show... Day 2 of 5...

A newer feature I've been seeing is painted engines and covers...


...as well as the underside of the hoods.


The owner of this car was telling me that his uncle is Joe Simon; who, along with Jack Kirby created Captain America. He did this as a tribute to him.

At the car show... Day 1 of 5...

I always enjoy seeing the old hotrods and the fancy flame jobs. That is one badass custom hood.


I just wish more of these guys would keep the engines hummin'.


I enjoyed seeing the new Corvette...


But it's not what pops to mind when I hear "classic."

The feedings have made them docile...

The neighborhood squirrels have been getting fed by the neighbors and I've been able to get closer and closer daily.


I just don't like when they whisper to each other while I'm standing right there!


They get a little pissy once they realize that I'm not refilling the food bowl.


Oh, gotta run! Lasers have been activated!

Rebecca quickly rose to glory this day!
