We sing in an a'cappela group, The Cedar Valley Singers and this was snapped in between performances.

Not Persuaded

The crows were ragging this hawk to death - he was not persuaded...

Club Contest

My daily Photos have been a bit sporadic this week - more work than hours in a day.  Last Sunday we had our Annual Photo Club Picture Contest and I had 2 photos which placed with an Honorable Mention.

New Bridge

 I grew up in Iowa Falls, Iowa and paid a visit today - there's a new bridge going up.

MRI

MRI of my back - shows herniated disk at S1 - looking at possible surgery - although we're trying some other stuff first...

Flattened

It was a light first snow fall -the day before however, this field was filled with wild prairie grass taller then me - now it's flat...

First Snow

I can't say I'm ready for the snow - won't shovel this one as it should be melted by noon.  But, I know it's coming...

Football

Boys develop an early interest in football...

Birthday Wipes?

Surrounded by new toys for his birthday Daniel chooses to play with the "wipes" - at least temporarily.

Birthday Blow

We celebrated Grandson Daniels second birthday yesterday - and this was the moment he blew out the candles (I think he had help from off camera from his Dad).

Final Rake

The leaves are almost all down - one last rake - perhaps this week.

All Saints Day

The altar at our church had an additional altar as we remembered those who have died.

Waffle Makers

We had a group come into our church and put on a waffle breakfast - they had it down to a science with 10 waffle makers.

Sand

I always hate to see sand this time of year - reminds me of what's next.

Teeth

Had to have a crown replaced - and this is the cast they took - kinda ghoulish seeing my mouth in a box.

Einstein

Daniel explores a skull which shoots all sorts of colored rays...

Smiley Faces

These chairs stacked up on a counter sure looked like smiley faces...

The End of A Long Day

Daniel was busy all day - and at the end of the day - well, he's a tired boy...

Anybody Home?

I wanted to knock on the door and see if I could get a tour of the cookie factory...

Fall Flowers

Mother Nature (friends from Burlington) are visiting and they brought these beautiful flowers from their garden.  Thanks Mother Nature...

Tracks

Getting Ready To Fish

Front End

The engine of yesterday's train.

Train Video

My camera also shoots video.  I don't do a lot of video but I thought a brief train video would be interesting - ok, maybe not interesting, but different.  Turn your volume way up and you'll get a feel of standing next to the tracks.

A Happy Day?

Their happy day?  I think they may be tired of getting their picture taken...

Queen Duck

It was my observation while I sat on a bench and watched that she seemed to be in charge.  When one of the youngsters challenged her authority - she put them straight...

Leaf

Fall - it all started with one leaf.

We are on an "impromtu" trip to see the fall colors along the bluffs of the Mississippi.  Tonight we are are staying in a quaint bed and breakfast in Clayton, Iowa.  Tomorrow we're off to McGregor, Iowa, Pikes Peak, Iowa and who knows where else...
