I felt a bit like a saint giving bread to the masses, but in reality I was getting licked.

A cute little baby mushroom I found growing in a bed of moss in my yard.
I almost wanted to dress it up in swaddling clothes.
They grow up so fast.

This was one of my favorite shirts but it didn't
take well to the washer so its getting a few last
chances to be warn around the house before it falls
apart. You really can't see just how badly the
shoulders are shreaded, but it ripped some each
time I put it on or off.

Looking from the swing into the backyard.
You can see the arbor that I have plans to cover with grapes and roses
and beyond that a rather large shed with a work bench and other
things inside.

My arbor. I need to get better pictures as these
were just taken on the initial walkthrough. Still, its very quaint!

a decent closeup. i hope you like it

Me clowning around with two pairs of glasses for the nerdy John Lennon look.

Life at an end.
How the mighty have fallen.
Decay comes to the decayers.
Peace returns.

Front of me in the shredded shirt. Francys was trying to
hog the camera, but it looks like she is the one who shredded
the shirt.

Reminds me of the famous painting of god's hand reaching out to touch someone, I forget exactly who.

Here is what will probably be my new home, as seen from the front finally.

Here we have the river, flowing to the sea.
It flows swiftly and silently, young water in an old land.

A purple universe, divided by life.

Young, fresh growth.
Pushing hard to reach the bottom.

The road to my house so you get a sense of location and scenery.

A rather nice view down the river valley. The sea is a few hundred miles that way.
My house is about 3 miles that way.

A shallow section of the river, rocks barely being covered by water.
Very vocal.

The side yard, full of plants and life. Its been suggested that
a water garden could be installed here.
I think that should go in the back yard, I like having this very meditative area.
Just need to add some running water somewhere.

Happy little butterfly feasting on the sunflower in my yard.
Unfortunately my windshield encountered one of his
relatives a few minutes later.

Hiking beside the river with a view up at the bridge.
This is where the views down-river were taken from.
I was surprised to see how it soared.

I look down at you puny humans and mock, or I would,
if you were significant enough to warrant my attention.

Looking upriver. The dam is right around the bend in the top right.
Very shallow area here, looks like lots of fun for hiking.
I need to find out if its allowed or dangerous.
Its also filled with trash, but from high above looks quite clean.
Much like the world.

What a vantage point, able to scan for miles around.
Indepentant, secure, powerful.
