Some Treasures from the backroads

Tom's Photo

Traveling with Tom on the back roads.

 Came across some yard art on my ride.

 Very realistic.

 Same yard.

Just down the road from me is a convenient roadside store with this huge rooster named

"Ossie"

This rooster has been here for many years as the store was opened many years ago and was the center and still is of this little community.

The name of the community is

Rooster Run.

It is said that all the men would gather here and drink beer and talk about their "old hens."

According to the story all the old hens advanced on the store and the men one day  with brooms sticks and shooed them all home.

It was heard said

"Look at all those Roosters Run."

and that is how it got its name.

Do you love yard art?

I have to admit I have seen some yards where there is just a little too much.

Found the Armillary globe at an antique sale one year.

I was tempted to paint it but the birds have almost done that.

Love this little cherub covered with algae right now.

My favorite yard art made by grands playing on the lawn.

A neighbor's yard.


How do you feel about yard art.

Theme this week is

Yard Art

The pansies take the stage.

Sweet little lady steps up.

Love the detail of her hat and smile.

The idea is to change positions and angles and lens settings to then be able to choose the photo you want to present.

I admit I was not well aware of this but do see the advantages.
Move around and get different shots.
