Ruby Tuesday Treasures

So last night I tried to do my blog and  my computer was having none of it.  so this morning I tried again and now it is afternoon and finally the images showed up.  I am thankful but full of questions for the cyber gods.
I am posting my blog doing two memes.  I see others doing this so I suppose it is okay.
Tom has a new meme called TUESDAY TREASURES and you will find it HERE
The other is RUBY TUESDAY TOO~~~~~HERE  

Some treasures.   This is a sidewalk sale I had at the shop where I used to have a stall.  I only sold a couple of things in the sale.  Phooey!

 These are ancient blow torches that I did sell later

 This very old place is on the ranch.  Another treasure

 And these Valentines are represents the Ruby Tuesday Too meme.  I belong to a card swap thingie.  These are some cards I got last year.

So visit the Memes and ENJOY!

Silly Things

Some of these things are odd and some silly and just stuff

 Left side upper corner is a guest cottage that at one time was a water tower on an early farm.  Moving right is a carved bear that gets dressed for every season and then poor Santa had to use a cow to travel the world and looks like he ended up a skeleton and below that is Donald the seasonal Elephant and moving left a railroad trestle and finally someone tipped over the phone booth.

Old barns

Barns in the Skagit Valley.  A couple in Stanwood and a couple in the Nooksack Valley

 This one in Skagit Valley.  I always liked this outfit with the Blue roofs.

 And Mt. Baker in the background

 This is a newer barn in Stanwood

                                            
 Share the road

 This old barn is on the ranch my daughter lives on.  It is coming down.

 Nooksack Valley barn

 And another

 This is a barn at my place.  Looks like it needs a paint job.  Any volunteers?

Varied Thrush

I happened to catch this guy hanging about the feeders.  These birds are mostly ground birds but I think he was curious and wanting to test the waters.  I occasionally see one near the feeders in the tree anyway.  this fellow actually landed on the suet feeder, startled himself and off he went.  At least he let me get some shots.

 Peek a booo

 I see you and a Junco too

 Such a pretty bird

 Sharing the tree with a Downey woodpecker

 Peeking again

The feeders and the whole deck was filled with birds.  these are Juncos

Night and Day

I tried all day yesterday and into the night to upload my pictures from my camera to my computer and it just would not do it---nothing,nada, phlooey and then this morning--all is well.  Why does that happen???

Well almost night and early morning.

 Early evening about half an hour before sunset---Mt. Rainier from the deck of my house in Stawood

 Next morning from the deck at Bob's house

White Fence and a Sunset

We sometimes go to a road right down the road from our place to catch a sunset because our house faces East for a nice sunrise and looking west for a sunset there are too many trees

 It's a nice white fence.  I think it is vinyl---If one could afford it it is the only way to go.

 Closer and you can see some of the Skagit River way in the foreground

 And here is the sunset we saw.

More Eagles

I know it seems I have shown a lot of Eagle shots but that's what's going on out this way right now.

 The Eagles in the right hand corner I call 'The three Wise Men' because they look like they are judging the activities of the rest of the Eagles.

 Just a bunch in a tree

 Down on the riverbank

 South Fork of the Nooksack River
