Trick or Treat

Mmmmm! Halloween candy ;)

Crushed

I originally started this as a City Daily Photo blog of the city I live in. After doing it for a couple weeks I decided it wasn't really what I wanted to do. I still visit the site because there are some great blogs there but I just decided I didn't like the idea of being limited to just showing my city. I also decided being bound to posting daily was a little much too. Hey, I may still end up posting daily, but it will be because I want to and have the photos available and not because I feel like I have to.

Here's a photo I took in my garage the other day just playing around. My kids save and crush cans to turn them in for money. My husband gave me a weird look when I showed him this on my camera's LCD.

Mutt Mitt

My family kind of dared me to take this photo. I don't know, I guess for some reason they didn't think I would. Anyone walking a dog needs to have it on a leash and also pick up after any mess it makes. I'm assuming it's like that in most places now. I guess as a reminder they have these Mutt Mitt containers set up in various places around town. Many people just use plastic shopping bags but these say they are degradable which would be better for the environment.

Going for a ride

Here's another one I took at the Lineman's Rodeo. This is one of the two water towers in town. It's amazing how dirty it gets on the underside. You can also see someone going up in the bucket. They were offering bucket rides for anyone who wanted to go up.

Goin' Downtown

Here's a shot of some of the buildings in the downtown area of Oconomowoc.

Willow tree

This Willow is right near the barn I posted yesterday. I don't know why but these have always been my favorite tree. Not sure which kind this is. While looking it up today I see there are about 350 different species of Willow trees, wow! And here I've always referred to them all as Weeping Willows, guess that's not the case.

Antiques Barn

I've always loved the look of this barn. I drive by it just about every day. Inside (and accessed by the other side of the building) is an antique and collectibles store called "The Gathering Place".

Summer's Over

So there's no more lifeguard on duty at City Beach on Lac La Belle! Today is the first day of autumn, my favorite season. Cool sweatshirt weather and the changing colors of the trees. They've started to change a bit here. Hope to get out there soon and gets some nice fall color shots.
