Stormy brooding Spring skies...


Taken 2 days ago I think this photo shows how fickle the end of Winter/beginning of Spring can be. Sun shining over the ocean but dark gray clouds surrounding the light - what do you think?

Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

That's beautiful, Amy. Very dramatic. Really like how that sheet of water reflects the sky.

Beautiful picture and it does show the changing season perfectly. That is the seasonal change that we actually miss (in both senses of the word), because Winter in Florida is so warm, you barely notice the change. (People who have always lived there say they do, but we don't -- it is nothing like it is here in Oregon that's for sure). I really loved this picture.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
