Monday

Isn't he beautiful?


CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Another barn - lol - this one has a silo and everything.  See the blurring brown?  That is what a tree looks like on a photograph at about 80 mph.  This is also stretched to the max - lol!


Okay and here is one more.  If you want to see barns go to Kentucky - just go slow if you want good pictures.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

  2. You do such a nice job with pictures taken from a moving car! I tried to take a picture of Mt. St. Helens from a moving car when we were in Oregon a couple of years ago ... needless to say that picture was deleted from my camera!

  4. They do say gas prices are still going down here, so hoping Santa doesn't have to feed his reindeer too many beans this year. Hope your Monday is off to a great start. I've changed the beds getting ready for weekend company, now on to the baking!

    Now you trying to electrocute that dog with christmas lights.
    I had a laugh as you always have something up your sleeves to show and tell.

    I like the bean cartoon. Ho,ho
    Wise thinking Santa.

    Yes today they have the two young boys to bury. Oh my .

    The worse has still to come for the rest of children to be buried.
    For sure prayers never end for those families.

    Will be a very bleak Christmas.

    I mean how can we ourselves enjoy the fullness of Christmas knowing that the loss of children are part of us.

    Being Mothers, Grandmothers.

    This Christmas will sure be different to my hubby and I.

  14. Good MONDAY, Sandie!

    I loved that quote from John Wooden, and it's so true.

    Loved your photos - even at 80 mph.

    GOD BLESS!

    (P.S. Today I posted about Marty's latest escapade. Disco might get a kick out of it!)

  26. Love the picture of the dog tangled in the Christmas lights.
    I laughed at Santa's plan for alternative fuel

  27. I admire your quick snapping of photo's...you have a talent to spot them at 80 miles and hour ...position the camera and snap. It is a talent. :) If human gas was as easy as eating beans my husband could fill up my car twice a day LOL...the picture of your dog is one you can frame and put out each year...it is so cute....the difference with cats and dogs...my cats would never let me even get close to them with the lights.

  28. I love your speedy pictures turn out. Mine would look like one big crazy blur.

    I love barns, and if there is a silo attached, all the better.

    Your reindeer gas made me grin. Thanks. I needed to grin.
