So….. I imagine this sea gull, (if they fly by a lake are they called lake gulls?) while reflecting on this faithful, old lighthouse that has been keeping watch for years, suddenly being stunned by the question that has now formed in his bird brain: who keeps watch over the lighthouse?

My last post (for now) of these amazing wind turbines. I would like to say that I carefully planned this composition…that the wind turbines interesting resemblance to the sun star was intentional…  but I can’t. However, I do like the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

The third image in my “catching the wind” series. Not quite sure if a total of four images constitutes a series, but I will leave that for you to decide. Would love to climb inside one of these things some day….

The second image from a recent motorcycle ride to a wind farm not far from where we live. For some reason I am fascinated by these gigantic pinwheels and the “whoosh” sound that they make as those huge blades turn….. pretty cool! Two more will follow….in color.

August is showing it can do summer….warm days and almost cool evenings have made for some beautiful days here. You can see that Fall and Winter are on their way back…the sunrise is later and the sunset is earlier… looking forward to the change of seasons…

Lot’s of rain yields lots of beautiful green cornfields (if you happen to think cornfields are beautiful!). It has been a BUSY, but wonderful summer. I may not be around WordPress land this week as I fulfill my role as a chaperone for our high school’s band camp this week…. I am not quite sure if we have internet. All to say, have a wonderful week, see you soon!

…and here is the next image that, this summer, is a rare sight….a sunny, warm, day. Our youngest daughter is getting married tomorrow, so between celebrations and good times I may be gone for a bit. I will try and post something from our fun! Have a great weekend everyone!
