Today was in the low to mid-60s and just too beautiful to stay home. So, Cliff and I went for a short drive. This guy, and his partner on the other side of the road, were waiting for Cliff and I to move along as there was roadkill just waiting for them. But I had Cliff slow down so I could take a photo of this fine creature. I have never seen a buzzard perch on top of a fence post (or in this case a vineyard post) before.
This photo was taken inside the car (shooting through the windshield makes the photos a little cloudy). This is Cox Ferry Road and I never tire of it's unique hilly path.
This was taken in a very small town called La Grange. It is the old jailhouse that is now a historical building. People rarely notice it...what am I talking about...people barely notice La Grange!
The above photo is a Chinese Rock Wall built in the 1860s. We see these throughout the foothills here, but I have never been this close to one before (behind a fence). I believe most of the walls were constructed by the Chinese who were paid poorly (and probably mistreated) for the intense labor. http://hubpages.com/hub/Chinese-Walls
We were on our way out of La Grange when I asked Cliff to slow down a bit so I could get a shot of this old house. I have taken a photo of it before, but not while moving. I can't say why, but it always intrigues me as a photo.
