The hanging plants have been placed indoors for the winter. With today's mild weather, the hooks still create interest in the backyard.

Hook Lighthouse is a unique example of an almost intact medieval lighthouse. It dates from the early 13th century and was a major feat at the time of its construction.
Here's my 6-wide hook and ladder with set 6340 Hook & Ladder. Set 6340 is special to me because it ended my LEGO "dark ages" -- I bought it on a whim in a tiny toy store in DC, and putting it together was so much fun that it got me back into LEGO.

This seemed like a good idea at the time
Thought I'd have a little fun with photoshop and create different scenarios that make you wonder if this was a good idea or not.

Scenario #15: Hook em Horns
So last week Texas played Arizona State. This girl at the office went to Texas. I told her Arizona State was going to win so she suggested we bet on it.
The loser has to wear the uniform of the other team and we have to watch the game together.
Well, the game went into double overtime and Texas won. That's when she informed me that I'd be wearing a cheerleaders uniform and not a football jersey.
On Game Day, I showed up at her apartment and she had two Texas Cheerleader Uniforms laid out on the bed. One for me and one for her. The next thing I knew, she was applying makeup to my face and styling my hair.
And the uniform fit perfectly. When I looked in the mirror, i couldn't believe my eyes. That's when she informed me we're going to a bar to watch the game with her boyfriend and his friends.
Here's a pic of the two of us before heading out to the bar. How do I get myself into these things?
What could go wrong, right?
Posting these photos for all the fishermen out there who carelessly leave hooks and fishing line around the lakes and ponds where they fish. Found this kingfisher this morning, fighting for his life, dangling from a tree branch where he had been caught by fishing line, complete with hook, that was wrapped several times around his wing, body and leg. Then around a tree branch out over a pond. Jamie was working as a landscaper in the area and I begged to him to come down to the pond to help me free the bird. Well, I found the right guy for that job! He climbed the tree, out onto a small branch so he could cut down the branch where the bird was hanging. After he did that it took us several minutes to untangle all the fishing line from around the bird, and we had to cut off the hook with Jamie's pruners. Sad ending; I called the waterfowl rescue folks and they sent someone out to get the bird, but by the time they got here it had died. At least it died laying in the woods, not dangling from a tree branch in a fight to free itself.
A spur of the moment trip to Hook Head, beautiful night, clear skies and mild, would not think it was October.
