Tyler, Me and my Canon Fifty-D

Tonight I had the opportunity to take a walk in our "neighborhood" with my oldest, Tyler. I love evening walks and what a bonus to have Ty with me! We walked along together. He talking about extraordinary things and me taking pictures of ordinary things along the way. He taught me all about robots! Did you know that my father in law is a "Cyborg"? Apparently it is true- because he wears a hearing aid. My husband plays with "Drones" when he flies his RC planes!
I love my son and his thirst for knowledge-praying that it will continue to carry through with his biblical knowledge and translate into godly wisdom!
Here are some pictures of the ordinary things.



The corn is starting to grow!

STOP! and look at the view at the end of our road.

Our house between the trees.



Some critter's home. I liked their landscaping!




Home of the annual corn maze.

How green is the valley!






Not sure what this is, but I saw it so I took a picture.


I love how the setting sun through the trees highlights small areas.


Had fun trying to capture it in these few pictures.





This is what I captured when I got back home. My other 2! And just where else would they be but in the water!

I like the shadow one, except that Tyler's should not be anywhere near as tall as yours! And the one at the end of the road. I always have enjoyed the pretty views from your place.
I think that thing is an elevation marker. I think that is what Joel has told me. they are all over the place!

Hi Bonnie - it's Joel. The marker you took a picture of is an Azimuth marker. They use them for surveying and mapping. It marks the direction of "true north". With a compass, you can compare the arrow on the marker with magnetic north to determine magnetic declination - how far off magnetic north is from true north which points to the north pole. You may never read this since the post is so old now, but I thought I'd put it out there any way. Pretty cool though - that marker was placed there in 1942! Where was it?
