On vous souhaite nos meilleurs voeux de Noël, qu'on espère joyeux pour tous malgré les contraintes.

We wish you our best wishes for Christmas, which we hope will be happy for everyone despite the constraints.

Just a simple nature shot I took during a very quiet peaceful snowfall.

Thanks for viewing my images and I appreciate the friendships I've made here on Flickr!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

God Bless...

Enjoy your weekend guys!

A robbins nest in our back yard, which includes the first little one to arrive and seems tired while resting its head on a brother or sister.

I had a tough time getting a shot because of the location of the nest. There wasn’t much room to get the camera in position, but the image tells the peeking story better than me. If you zoom in there's some interesting details, but anyway I hope you enjoy it!

Hope everyone is doing good!

I've been taking a break from the camera for awhile guys, to many projects to do lol. We also had a new addition to the family ourselves, my wife's oldest daughter had her second little one and my youngest daughter is expecting her second little one as well!

I just turned 56 May 31st and I'm a grandpa many times over already.... ;)

My camera seems to be 1 day off, not sure how that happened but I need to fix that?

Thanks for stopping in my friends and for all the support!

God bless you and yours...

Taken with a Sigma 150-600mm telephoto lens along a pond.

I find dragonflies interesting so I tried to get a shot of this fellow before he took off.

Its not a perfect image as per say with a macro lens but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Hope you enjoy and thanks guys for visiting! :)

What a place. If you ever find yourself in Raymond, MS. I should have spent more days there. I would visit and it would be hours before I would leave, so much to see and even buy.

A storm blew snow hard against the trees just a short bit ago and I took this shot from our car window but I didn't do anything with it. Wasn't sure about posting it!

Since I haven't been out to get any new material, I thought I'd add a twist to this abstract shot and post it?

I hope you enjoy!

Whats funny is we now have 75 degree weather here just a short bit after I took this shot.

Strange weather...

At the Raymond, MS battlefield park. Over cast and a wet day.

A washed out bridge from long ago near Raymond, MS.

Not too far from Raymond, MS on a Spring day. Rain showers were on and off all day.

A spooky perspective of an abandoned over grown old home, the main living room window. This old place has so much still inside, as if they just left? The curtains are still on the window even!??

I don't know the story behind this place but it makes me think how many Christmas tress set in this window and owners looked out at the weather? All the history left behind?

This is actually a older shot I had posted a year or two ago. I was looking for something to post and I ended up touching this shot up to repost. This is a moment shot taken inside Crackle Barrel Restaurant of my wife and I. This mirror was setting on top a barrel. You can see the barrel top and clothing for sale in the background. I guess I wanted my Flickr friends to meet my best friend and see this bald guy behind the camera too lol... A monochrome portrait that's somewhat different.

Thanks to everyone who visited my images and God bless you and yours...

Lyon, France.

If I get permission to name this Boneyard series location I will but ….at this point I’m not.

Thanks for stopping in my Flickr friends!! It's always a pleasure to hear from you! :)

Have a great weekend 👍

Ahhh, the good old days. A grand music, poster and record store in Raymond. A delight for an old man to remember and visit.

Ohhhh wait.... we can squeeze in another building somewhere, right!! ;)

Thank you for visiting everyone, and I appreciate the friendships I have made here on Flickr!

God bless you and yours...

I have a series of shots from Cades Cove Tennessee in my photostream, most from one trip around the loop. My wife and I enjoyed the time there and just a relaxing drive together. Which speaking of the drive that's how I acquired this shot, from the car window. If you do some close investigating in the eye of the deer, you will see our reflection.

The subject was chowing down at the moment of taking this image and moving around. I tried to compose the shot with the head from corner to corner. This being the only one that turned out as I wanted.

I hope you enjoy this nature's moment, and have a good week ahead, everyone!

Thanks for visiting guys!!

Raymond Covered Bridge built in 1928 in Becancour, Quebec

Sepia abandonment in my countryside area, surrounded by corn fields and a moody skyline! As a boy, most of these barns were used and needed! Now we have metal barns that are fancy, I guess, but to me, they have no nostalgic charm! I hope you enjoy this older shot of mine! And most likely, this won't be around much longer. A lot of the barns or homes I have posted in my photostream are completely gone now! Held in time, by my camera, I guess...

Hope everyone has a good week, and I sincerely appreciate you all visiting my images!! Thank ya...

Thanks Raymond for making my computer work with RAW files. It gave me the little push to get my camera, make pictures and work them out behind my computer! Just what I needed:)

This is a very old pocket watch that I sometimes carry which has my wife's picture in it. The watch keeps good time for being about 120 years old!

It's surrounded by 1800's pocket watch gears and parts.

In the background from the same time period is a pocket watch tin made to hold one dozen main springs.

These was for Hamilton Watches which was a favorite time peice for the railroad!

And very highly regarded!!

Railroad time pieces had to be exact and was checked regularly for accuracy!
