Northeast PA: Mountains, churches and railroad tracks.

2008.01.10
See? I told you that Russian Orthodox church was visible from damn near everywhere!

A mountain view, and what's that? More churches!!!

Mountains, railroad track, and a church, all in one shot!

Closeup of that particular church.

"Makes you feel sad for the rest..." Might be more convincing if the paint wasn't peeling off the sign. This was taken by a no-longer-in-business, burnt-down lumberyard.

Probably only funny to me, Fritz and anyone else who's seen the way a Pekingese moves. Trying to get an 8 inch high dog and an 8 foot high sign in one shot? Not easy. Especially when there's things to be smelled and/or peed on.

We spotted this cutie on our walk. I wanted to bring her home. She wasn't even afraid of the dog. She was on someone's back porch, so I'm sure she belongs to someone, but she's so thin. It breaks my heart to see cats outside like this. With my luck, though, she'd have FeLV or something. I can't risk exposing my kitty-girls to that.

Mystery bird. Maybe some kind of finch? They were very small, about the size of a chickadee, but I can never get close enough to really see what they look like before they flit away.

From eariler today, after rolling around on his back, and one... second.... before... a... POUNCE!

The things you see when you don't have your camera. On my way to work this morning, I spotted a spectacular view of the sun coming up behind the windmills on the mountain, gorgeous views of the valley, an adorable fat little squirrel, and a deflated blowup doll on the side of the highway. Even if I'd had my camera, I wouldn't have had the time to take the pics, but still. By the time I get home, we have dreary gray skies, and not even one abandoned lovedoll in sight.

Mermaid That bird is called a junco. They also call then snowbirds because they tend to hang around when it's going to snow. So of course, I LOVE them. :)

lorinalynn Yes! Googling "junco," that's definitely them. You amaze me, Sue. You can spot birds in even grainy b&w pics!

debbyfaye You need to go get that blue cat. It looks just like Louie.

lorinalynn If I wasn't walking Beav, and wasn't convinced that I'd get shredded carrying her home, and was sure there wasn't some crazy "owner" watching, she'd be in my basement right now (seperate from my girls) waiting for a trip to the vet tomorrow morning.

I'm gunshy, though, after the last cat I tried to save had FeLV. :(

ncshutterbug I was worried about being branded a crazy bird lady. I'm glad I have Sue to take that title from me. :-P

Lorina, I love the mountain view! We're definitely going to have to take a road trip sometime.
