Now to get the painters.

a treasure I hadn't tripped over before
The first mill at Bear Creek, in the Gladys area, was several hundred yards downstream from the present structure.
While driving through Wyoming on vacation, we found this old barn on a curve. We weren't the only ones to pull over and appreciate its beauty.
I thought I'd take a gander at the new entrance at King's Cross on my way home today...
I really wasn't expecting it to be quite so epic!
... and porch entrance overhang extension. (See Large)
Now all we need to do is replace the windows and siding! : (
A well kept barn, with a new roof, a rare sight anymore. Most of these old barn eventually collapse and are sometimes replaced with pole barns.
Mike the builder is a bit of a cheeky chap, in a nice way, so I thought I would pull his leg, and tell him that Jamie let me up on the roof with him to see the views up there! Then I sent him this photo as 'proof'!! I'm pleased to say the roof is done now, and looking at Jamie's photos, we made the right decision by having the whole roof done. Some of the woodwork was sagging or even missing and the roof felt wasn't in the best condition. I might make a collage of some of Jamie's roof pics.
Putting a new roof on the extension today and we managed to avoid the storm that was skirting the east of the town ,the gods were with us on this job .
A new ceiling, after I came out from under my little roof.

In the ethnic villages of Guizhou Province, China, almost all the labour is done manually. This smiling group of people had formed a chain going up to the peak of the roof of a house under construction and were cheerfully passing heavy roof tiles up the chain. Some of the women are wearing traditional hairstyles and pieces of clothing. Image captured at the Long Skirted Miao Village of Langde Shang in Guizhou Province, China (best larger)

After discovering a new leak in August just outside our bathroom, we decided enough was enough. Instead of having a roofer try and locate and patch up that leak, we would completely renew the roof. We have been in our house for more than 30s and without a lottery win, I can't see us moving, so we may as well invest in the house!
I got in touch with Mike, who recently refurbished our bathroom and kitchen, and he put us in touch with a roofer called Jamie. One of the things about Jamie, and his workmate Chris, is they are both so polite, easy to communicate and keen to please. Jamie is also very proud of his work, quite rightly so, and at the end of most days, he Whatsapps many photos of the progress!
I was a cheeky Jainbow and asked if he would mind taking a photo of the views from our roof, as I would never be brave enough to go up and see them for myself! So this is actually his photo, with a slight touch of Photoshop! You are looking north across my city, Portsmouth, towards the white chalk of the South Downs (and Portsdown Hill) about 5 miles away, I'd guess.
Wednesday, 6 November 2019: -13C (windchill -21C), sunset 5:01 pm.
Today, 6 November 2019, I have just posted six more odds and ends of photos, from way back in my archives. I hadn't intended posting anything today, as I have started (yet again) backing up and deleting photo folders from my hard drive, as I am pretty well out of space. Also, I will have to take my computer in before too long to get it changed over from Windows 7 to Windows 10, seeing as support for Windows 7 comes to an end in January. So, some deleting would be a good thing to do before I take in my computer. Not to mention a good thing before my computer crashes!
This is one of the barns that I saw when we were on the High River Christmas Bird Count, on 15 December 2015. Sometime during the previous 12 months, this and various sheds in the farmyard had been painted red, instead of the previous pink. This barn had also been given a new roof - the previous wooden shingles had worn out.
This photo was taken near the end of a day when 8 brave souls had faced the elements in order to document the birds and other wildlife east of High River. After less than two hours' sleep (for me) and setting our alarm clocks for some unearthly hour, we were rewarded with some nice sightings.
Just like a year ago (December 2014), on the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for High River, our Count on 15 December 2015 started off while it was still dark, and it was foggy with a most wonderful hoar frost. Not the best conditions for taking photos, though, especially with a point-and-shoot camera. Many of my photos taken very early morning came out far too blurry to keep. Everything was covered in delicate hoar frost. Not sure if some of the frost is called Rime Ice? There was no snow on the ground, but it was covered in similar crystals, which crunched as we walked on them.
On this day, I went with a group of 7 friends to take part in the first annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count of the season. This is one of my favourite counts, mainly because our small group covers one of my favourite areas, SE of the city. Other birders covered the rest of the large, 15-mile diameter count circle around the town of High River, SE of Calgary, just over half an hour's drive from the southern edge of Calgary. Our group was limited to just two carloads of people. When there is a convoy of vehicles, everything takes much longer, and on an important count day, time is of the essence, so a limit was put on the number of participants.
We met in the city at 7:15 am and drove southwards into fog - dense fog! This is not what people hope for when out looking for birds, ha. The temperature was around -12C (so I'm guessing the windchill was somewhere around -18C or colder) when we set out, warming to 1C later on. I always hope for a hoar frost for this count.
After our very first stop at Frank Lake, we then drove the various backroads around and near the lake, calling in at several farms to ask permission to look around their farmyards, hoping to find different species to add to our list. I will add our leader's final list below - not a great number of species, but a few nice ones, including two very, very distant Snowy Owls and 8 Great Horned Owls. It was great when those of us riding in the one car, saw our 9th Great Horned Owl along H'way 23, just E of Highway 2.
Of course, as always happens on any trip, I just had to take photos of anything else that caught my eye, including barns, scenery, and so on.
We had finished our count by around 4:45 pm, by which time it was completely dark. Some of us stayed for the delicious potluck supper, mainly provided by generous birding people who live in or near High River. Thanks to everyone who got this ready for us - delicious and hugely appreciated!
A special thanks to Greg Wagner who always organizes this count. He is a truly dedicated birder, who puts in so much time year-round, searching for and recording what birds are being seen in that whole area.
Thanks, too, to Lorrie and John who drove two of us for the whole day. Can't thank you enough for making it possible for me to do this count. A lot of driving for you and it was greatly appreciated.
I was lucky enough to get my name called in a draw when we were at the Potluck and was given a copy of Myrna Pearman's beautiful new book: "Backyard Bird Feeding: an Alberta Guide". This complete guide to year-round bird feeding in Alberta is beautifully laid out with so many great photos and masses of information. Definitely not just for people who have a garden and bird feeders. A delightful book! Thank you, Russ Amy, for donating this copy specially for the draw! I also bought a copy to give to friends when I next see them.

Abused Abandoned Street Dogs.
No animals or humans were injured during
the making of this photo ..................... ;-)~~~
This is a daily occurrence, same same and
here's how it goes down.
First notice how clean the area is. Mr Leg Man
had just finished sweeping and gathering all
the garbage left by monkeys and tourists.
Alright, when the 3 stooges and I leave the
spirit house we turn onto this road which gives
us a straight 300 meter shot all the way to where
The Hooligans can see us coming and they start
going wild. Barking and dancing about in anticipation.
They know the drill. Cotton bag draped across my chest
is full of their breakfast, and other delightful goodies ..... ;-)
As we approach Rocky takes point, Mamas on his flank and
Legs the Zoomer stays very close to me while down in a cat
like position slowly crawling as if to pounce on a big mouse.
DJ is always first to come out as seen here. He immediately
goes into a very submissive position in front of Rocky who just
like his father never says a word. Rocky will take up a dominate
position standing over DJ for about 5 minutes, DJ never moves.
I walk right past this drama collecting the remaining dogs
and head for the cave where they receive their breakfast.
A portion of the food is saved for DJ who in time shows up
and is quickly fed.When DJ arrives I turn and look behind me
and as always Mama, Rocky and The Zoomer are laying in a
row where the dog drama took place.
Same Same Never Change...;-)
One more thing needs to be added. When I'm walking to the
cave all The Hooligans dance and prance while upright on
their back legs, I've tried to take a photo of this but they always
seem to be blurry with extremely poor composition.
Maybe some day no# 1 can help out and document this action.
So there ya go, another small slice of life at The Monkey Temple.
Which brings up another question, where's the monkeys?
They aren't stupid and keep a lot of distance from the dogs
when this greeting takes place. It's very loud and to them
is quite intimidating.Male testosterone is heavy in the air !
But there's always an exception to every rule ................... ;-)~
Thank You.

when i had driven by an hour before they were taking down the old shingles and here they are adding the underlayment. bet they are all done. was glad to notice that they are all tethered with safety lines
Historic Building dating back by look quite a number of years. If it is going to be saved some shoring needed or a strong wind might topple it. With the new roof it appears that it might indeed be cared for in the future.
This is the same old Ford truck that I posted the other day, but the barn is a different one. Sometime during the past 12 months, this and various barns/sheds in the farmyard had been painted red, instead of the previous pink. This barn had also been given a new roof.

Joined the group Paint the Moon - Let;s Do 52 to keep me focused on taking and uploading a pic a week. The theme this week is "Look Out For Curves", alternative theme is "Get Emotional".
I can see curves everywhere. Thanks Ray Wise for the low down on the new roof.
Thanks for the comments and visits and have a great weekend.
Today, 8 November 2019, I have just posted six more odds and ends of photos, from way back in my archives, instead of going through photos taken yesterday, on a trip west of the city. Yesterday's photos are mainly of winter scenes and I just felt like looking at more colourful images again today. Mind you, I shouldn't be posting anything, as I have started (yet again) backing up and deleting photo folders from my hard drive, as I am pretty well out of space. Also, I will have to take my computer in before too long to get it changed over from Windows 7 to Windows 10, seeing as support for Windows 7 comes to an end in January.

Yesterday, 3 April 2016, I was on a birding day trip with a group of friends, going SE of Calgary, E of High River. The weather was beautifully mild and, as always, it was a most enjoyable day. As always, my camera lens was turned to various other things, too, as usually happens when birds are little more than tiny silhouettes in the far, far distance.
This was a rather plain, pale barn, but I still liked it. I saw it while we were driving along the gravel backroad and was wishing that if only we could stop, then I could get a photo. That is exactly what happened. The leader decided that we would stop and take a good look over a lake (was it Brant Lake?) and I was able to take a couple of shots.
I will add the report from our leader, Tony Timmons. With all the birds so far away, it was really difficult, if not impossible, to even begin to count the numbers. Many thanks for a great day, Tony, and thanks so much for the ride!

This is the eastbound part of the Georgia Viaduct which streams traffic in and out of Downtown Vancouver.
The first viaduct was built around 1915 and was so poorly constructed that falling pieces of concrete threatened the pedestrians below. It was replaced in 1972 by a more structurally sound design.

This is the new roof at wimbledon...i was sitting relatively high up so thats natural framing up the top. I didnt like the mess that was just not very well lit grass of the court so i blacked that out the bottom. It really was very cool and I'd LOVE to get there by myself and be able to take more shots of it. Its incredible engineering.
Right. I'm off to bed. I cant even begin to say how tired I am. Thanks all for your - this time - lovely mails and I'll be replying tomorrow. Nigh nigh x
