Happy New Year for everybody!!😘

I've got that right, don't I?

 

A few have mentioned they never tire of fall foliage shots and I reckon we'll continue to test that theory for a while. The winds over the last few days have done their annual duty, yet the oaks endure as they tend to do, the last to give up the ghost...tho some only do so with the arrival of new buds in the spring, somehow hanging on throughout our trying winter.

 

Another very nice day for late October, so off we go to the canoe to enjoy a relatively rare windless day.

We've gotten lots of rain the last 2 days and should be in a more normal weather pattern for July. Good for the animals.

Happy new ear!! & Happy new year, too!!

Time flies,

After a hot summer, so the cows weren't out much,

It was too hot and too dry.

Now we have wolves in the area. Which means the ladies have to get in on time.

The weather is getting colder, so the grazing season is almost over.

So next year hope the wolves stay away.

Several sheep, cows and a pony have already been attacked and died of their injuries.

A concern for now and the future

I once asked a professional photographer, What is more important between camera and lens. "Light is the most important" he replied.

While I was on vacation, I was taking some shot around a marina and I heard this great music coming out of the fish restaurant and I thought, the fish would probably taste amazing since it was right across the street from the marina. When I got to the entrance I could see that the place was packed. The tables couldn't be any closer together and I just couldn't go in. I thought this is crazy. I almost got a plate to go but decided against that as well. I'll be so happy when the world gets back to whatever it was before 19.

Sesame Knot Rolls

Challah Recipe (Marylyn Pisseri)

 

1 cup warm water

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 eggs, room temperature

4 cups bread flour

2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast

 

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon water

2 Tbsp powdered sugar

 

Place warm water, sugar, honey, vegetable oil, salt, 2 eggs, flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle; press Start.

After the machine is done, take the dough out, and place it on a very lightly floured board, punch the dough down, and let rest for 5 minutes.

 

For challahs: Divide the dough in half. Then divide into 3 equal pieces, roll into ropes about 12 to 14 inches, and braid into a loaf. Do the same with the remaining other half. Gently put the loaves on a greased cookie sheet, mist with water, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft free place, until double in size.

 

For rolls: Divide dough into 12 rolls. Shape into long pieces and make a knot. Let rise for at least an hour.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg, 1 tablespoon water and 2 Tbsps powdered sugar.

Brush risen loaves with egg mixture. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes.

 

This kind of came out looking like a painting but it's not. The back ground is a painting on a wall. When I took this shot I knew I would use it somewhere. I thought about Window's Wednesday..:) But, since there aren't real windows I went with Bench Monday

A shot from La Grange, Texas. So different from the hill country where I live. But, still pretty in its own way.

I signed up with Airbnb and I have my first people coming on Friday. However, I have discovered a down side to Airbnb. They report all your income to the IRS..;( I didn't see that coming. So, I'm still listing room mate wanted in the newspapers..:).

Katie, a very special friend of mine-has a birthday today! She is my first friend that I knew in "Real Life" that later found me on flickr. She is inspiring, a great cook, an awesome photographer and is funny as hell. Thanks for being the bomb, Katie!

..HFF!!

..lol..You had to know I took more than one drive by fence shot..;).However, I think this is the last one I'll post. They others don't do as much for me. This one didn't either until I ran it through Topaz Studio.

There was an art festival going on while I was at the coast. I had forgotten that Rockport was an art community. After taking this pic I went and walked around the in side and was really impressed by the work of so many artist. However, most of it was paintings. I hate the fact that people to recognize photography as art. Sure there was some photography work but selling for so much less than the paintings.

Other than that..;) The festival was fun. There was live music, lots of different foods and of course, the rides. I didn't go on the rides..:)

Wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende!

Stanley" Farmhouse Pizza in Dripping Springs, Texas

Great Pizza, funky place..;)

Here's what they say on the Internet: Stanley’s Farmhouse Pizza was started by friends looking for a new way to take care of their families while enjoying what they do and where they do it. The pizzeria is on Ceres Park Ranch and is named after it's first bull, Stanley. We offer handcrafted, artisan pizza using fresh ingredients found at local farms and gardens whenever possible. We are proud of our beer list that features breweries here in Austin as well as across the US.

Thank you for all the favs, kind comments, and visits. Keep snapping cool pictures and sharing your passion

..HFF!!

Not every boat goes out in the morning I guess. And, maybe it can't. Because of the high tide it's hard to see the fence part. Plus, it's not much of a fence..;)

Hope all my American contacts had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everyone have a wonderful weekend. I have to work Friday and Saturday but I'm taking a week off Yay!

..HBM!!

The lights streaming across are my headlights..;) Just me playing around, but I kinda like it.

 

Happy Easter from me and this House Sparrow in the parking lot of the Home Depot in Riverdale, New Jersey, USA

HBM!!

Not sure why the tractor is next to the bench but it made an interesting shot. This is from the Salt Lick Restaurant in....wait for it..Driftwood, Texas. Why's it called Driftwood? I don't know. So, researched it and found nothing. There isn't a lake or any kind of water around Driftwood. Another one of life's little mysteries.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great week.
