The neighbors got a new puppy.  He is an Australian Shepherd.  His name is Putzer.

I bought two little birds at a Flea Market.

Macro Monday: Christmas Ornaments

I collect old Christmas Ornaments.  The kind that used to be on the tree when I was little.  They are called Shiny Brites and I have a bunch of them.  The tree is not up yet so this photo is from last year..next week perhaps my really tall tree will be up and decorated.  That tree only gets decorated with Antique Ornaments it goes upstairs where the really tall ceiling can show it off proper.

Macro Monday : Walking Stick

This is a Walking Stick, it was on my dining room screen one day..peeking in.  If he would have stayed a long time I would have named him “Tom” as in peeping tom, but after an hour or so he moved on.
