Along The Mill Race In Goshen




I took this picture last week, the same day as my 10/21 entry. I guess it's time to admit I like taking pictures of things reflected in water.

ISSMA Class B State Marching Band Finals



On the Pan Am Plaza right outside the RCA Dome with my favorite clarinet player, The Concord HS band finished second at the state finals, then they marched to the plaza and played in the rain for their parents and other supporters. Let there be no doubt, I was a proud Dad.

Goshen Greenway (a linear park)



I like to wak along this trail, it runs from the Goshen dam pond along the west side of the Millrace, to Shanklin Park and then to downtown Goshen, a distance of approximately 2.5 miles.

Gang Graffiti



Graffiti along the mill race in Goshen, no doubt the work of one of the many Amish youth gangs in our area.

Truth be known, I've always had a thing for a "hot" babe with green eyes.

Nothing for today

Darn it's hard to come up with a new picture everyday, and I didn't do anything today worth telling about. Oh ya "meat loaf" for dinner I'm sure that will be of great interest to everyone .

Drawers



Used underwear for sale at the Mennonite thrift shop in Goshen. It was a good shopping trip, as I was able to get presents for most of the people on my Christmas list.

Squirrel in Goshen



City squirrels are easier to photograph than their country cousins, maybe it's because no one shoots at them, although my mother has threaten shoot em at her bird feeders.
(don't mess with mama's bird feeders)

Ducks at Ox Bow Park




The sun was low and there was lots of green algae on the water. I took this picture at 1600 X 1200, opened it in PhotoShop, copied it and pasted it onto a 750 X 563 canvas, centered the ducks and saved.
