These pictures aren’t great but I thought I would share them anyway. I walked into the master bathroom one evening recently and glanced out the window and look what was looking back at me….an owl! I hurried to get my camera and took a few pictures. I was afraid that if I tried to go outside to take the pictures he might fly away so these are through the window….. Mr Owl watched me as long as I watched him….

The next morning I looked out the window by the deck hoping Mr Owl would be back and look what I saw!! The sun was streaming from behind the trees but I could see not one owl but two!! I grabbed the camera and took some pictures of Mr Owl and his mate (I assume)….

I hope they hang around awhile. I will try to get outside and get some better pictures of them. They are beautiful birds!

They are still filming in town for the movie 42 so I thought I would share a few more pictures. They transformed Second Street downtown to look like Brooklyn.

 

 

 

Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson walks along Second Street during the filming of the movie "42" on in Macon, GA, on Friday, June 15, 2012. There were 189 extras and almost 4 dozen vintage cars on the set Thursday evening

Many people showed up to watch the filming…

Central Georgia filming for the Harrison Ford film "42" is now under way. The movie, starring Ford, Christopher Meloni, Chadwick Boseman and others, tells the story of how Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier in 1947. Some of the Macon sites, including Luther Williams, are standing in for Daytona Beach, Florida, where the Dodgers trained.

They filmed some at a house downtown.

Crews set up at a site in Jones County. Film crews covered part of the street so it looked like a dirt road.

Macon's historic Luther Williams Field was ready for shooting and dozens of 1940s-vintage vehicles stood ready. They included one bus marked "Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball Club" and others marked "Daytona City Transport." I loved being able to see all these in one place!

This week I am sharing pictures of my lantana. Lantana is commonly grown as a sun loving flowering annual in the South. A few cultivars are reliably perennial. All are tough, resilient plants that thrive in hot weather and bloom profusely from spring until frost. Lantanas are very attractive to butterflies.

For the week before and after Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day each year, Duluth, Georgia lines its roads with more than 500 flags and crosses in honor of her fallen veterans. These pictures are worth a thousand words….

God Bless our troops and their families….

I walked around the yard last week and took a lot of pictures. I sat down at the computer and looked at them and made a (long) list of things I wanted to do.

One side of the house had gotten overgrown so I decided to do something about it this past weekend. I took pictures when I was finished so I could share some before and after photos.

Before..the bushes by the house were over my head!

Looks much better now….

and if you walk further down …before….. from two different views…

looks much better (after) …and now have some places for something new to plant!

and believe it or not..there is an arbor there!

There it is!

I have a few other areas of the yard to work on. I will share pictures of them when I have some progress.
