Home Archeology

I am only putting this photo up because it is the first time I've used the automatic focus bracketing function on my new camera. This was done with the help and instructions and hints from my Flickr friend, Tom Malinsky www.flickr.com/photos/tmalinski/. Thank you, Tom!

 

The subject isn't that wonderful... it is a lot of bits of pottery and other things which I have found on my property, emerging with erosion of the soil, as the years go by. I wash the pieces off and save them, hoping that I will find another piece of the same broken cup or plate, which would be fun. I call this "Home Archeology".

 

Apparently whoever lived here, over the years between when the house was built, sometime in the 1860s, and when my family moved in, in 1951, threw their broken pottery out at the edge of the hill. I don't know why. But that's where I find most of this stuff.

Oh yes, I find a lot of marbles too. Someone had kids who played marbles, I'm thinking.

 

I put another "Home Archeology" photo up years ago, but I'll put this one up anyway.

 

Happy New Year everyone.
