Seen Around the Valley

I accumulate a number of interesting pictures as I drive around the valley from place to place.  Here are a few I've shot recently.

Close-up of a big leaf out in a shaded corner of our meadow.

A very bright green patch of moss just outside the front door.

Wild Cucumber in bloom at Walters Falls.

A small original log house on a farm I visited.

An old gas pump in front of a friend's garage.   My great-aunt pumped gas from a pump like this.

The Blackbird Pie Company in Heathcote down in the valley.  A great place to buy both fruit and pot pies.

A warning sign for Poison Ivy (those three leaves at the base of the stake), outside the Nancy Historic Site.

And a few great muffins that Mrs. F.G. whipped up.  You can see how good they were by how many are already missing!

  1. I suppose you ate all 4! LOL I enjoyed the selection of photos today...not sure which is my favorite. I really love that first...I had never thought of taking a photo quite like that. I have taken photos of back-lit leaves but never a close-up.

  2. I've heard of White Rose, but I think this is the first picture of a White Rose pump that I've seen. The muffins look delicious. You got a great macro of the leaf at the top of this post.

  4. I know that it takes four-and-twenty blackbirds to make a pie but how much pot do they put in one?
