Camera Critters #34
Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.
I have seen a lot of deer lately. This was in my back yard. Some of you know I live in the city and this is the third time I have seen deer in the back yard this year. My wife has seen them a couple of times beside these times. We do have a little wild area in our back yard.
This was a beautiful doe with a fine winter coat that stood out against the snow.
She gave me one neat pose then moved back into the woods.

It was two weeks back at dusk and I saw ten deer out in a cut hay field. Here are six of them. This was before the snows started.
There were three more to the right of the group and one single one. they were all does or fawns.
The night before Thanksgiving the grandchildren and we were coming back to our house from traditional pre-Thanksgiving dinner and sleep over. They all assist my wife with cooking. Golf boy even makes the pies and Princess is the her constant companion in the kitchen. I spotted deer beside the rode at the golf course driving range. Luckily I was able to pull into the golf course parking lot and aim my headlights on the four deer. I think you can make out three of them.

Flight from Dallas to Cleveland
My daughter flew in for a visit on Thanksgiving day. I went to the airport to get her. She flew in on American Airlines which was to land at 3:15. At 3:08 I was on the exit ramp a mile from the airport and what do I see but an AA plane coming to land. Since it was Thanksgiving Day and the traffic was light I was sure it was my daughters plane. She said they got quit the show as this approach takes you out over Lake Erie to land. We have had gray skies all week but the sun had come out and the weather had improved. It was her flight and the only AA flight that landed at that time

Sky Watch Friday #20
I would like to wish all my American visitors and friends a Happy Thanksgiving.
Sky Watch Friday has on it's own site. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were 346 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.
This week has been dark and dreary so I take you back to directly after the World Series of Baseball in Philadelphia and the MetLife Blimp was coming back to Akron, Ohio along Interstate 80 through Pennsylvania and Ohio. The MetLife Blimp is a neat site in the sky. I spotted it as I came up Interstate 60 in Pennsylvania.

Wednesday Potpourri and an Award
I wish all my friends a Happy Thanksgiving Day in the USA. One of my friends Carolyn has written an outstanding post on a gift given for Thanksgiving. Take the time to read through this one.

Here are some varied photos from the year:
This is a shot at the golf course from the day when my 13 year old grand son beat me golfing. This shot was to 10 foot from the pin. It was over a lake that came up next to the green. I put it at 12 feet and was able to win this hole with the putt. He had me eight down with eight holes to play and I was able to cut it to four down by the end of the round but I was easily defeated. Oh, the agony of defeat with a smile on your face. How can you be disappointed when they play well.
How do you like the form he is showing on this swing. This is his 10 year old cousin, number three grandson, who is learning the game. We road together on the cart and had a good time. He showed me the Cicada in the tree that did a neat job for the camera.
This is Soccer Boy as he cleaned off the deck last week. We had 12" of snow last week.

He works hard and even worked on the railing.
He moved down to the boat and climbed on top and worked on the snow.
That kick cleared a lot of snow. He enjoys fishing and also this fun stuff.

My World #6
This is the sixth posting for the My World meme . It is hosted by Klaus, Ivar,Sandy, Wren, Louise and myself. Last week there were 116 people showing their worlds to us. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. Here is part of 'My World'.
I'm going to share two old building in Kent, Ohio on Route 43N. The first is an old six story Franklin Silk Mill built in the 1830's which has been converted from a a mill into businesses and apartments. This was the first water operated silk mill in Ohio and sits directly on the banks of the Cuyahoga River (Ki-a-hoe-ga w/short a's) . This is also directly across the street from the Kent Public Library we visited last week. There was the addition of a garage on the side which is highly decorated in plaster as you will see.
It is very easy to see the difference between the original construction and the present construction.

This is the side view of the garage area.
Here is that decorated part of the garage I had mentioned.
Please note the large block construction on the base and the brick top. There is a retaining wall along the street and part of it is cut out from natural stone.
If you look down over the hill you see the place in the Cuyahoga River where the Silk Mill received its power.
The second building I want to show you was the original office building for the Franklin Silk Mill built in the late 1830's which is just up the street from the mill. It is now a Franklin Township Hall. James A. Garfield was nominated for State Senate in 1859 in the building. He became the 20Th President of the USA in 1881 and was assassinated after 4 months in office and died two months later at the age of 49 just short of his 50Th birthday. He was the second President assassinated, Abe Lincoln being the first.

Camera Critters #33
Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.
I was out driving on a cold snowy day and there was a tree directly in front of me as I came to a tee in the road. I set my car in position to get a few shots of the tree.
There were two black squirrels in the Crab-apple Tree.

There was one that was a little lighter then the other.
This is the really a black colored Black Squirrel.
He was eating the little apples and working hard to get satisfied for the day.
