After riding our bikes through South Londonderry,
and my camera battery dying mid-click - yeah, I'll never learn...
I decided to return in my car - (parking it at the post office),
and take a leisurely stroll through town.
How cute is this colorful birdhouse on a shovel handle? -
I'm thinking I need to copy this look -
the shovel that is - not the overgrown part
- although...
This big guy was eyeing us warily
We returned the gesture...
I'm thinking this porch would be perfect for spending an afternoon with a good book and glass of iced tea.
And then - just for fun -
this handsome guy is my mom's cat, Oliver.
I call him Shy Guy.
Hmmmm - does it look as though he's eyeing me warily, too?
Yeah, I really have a way with cats.
Have a great day!
I enjoyed these photos! That birdhouse on top of the shovel is very creative. And you know how I love cats!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, especially the cats!
ReplyDeleteCute idea on the shovel, love the porch and cats shots! Enjoying your blog!
ReplyDeleteOoh, neat idea for an old shovel!
ReplyDeletepretty cute place. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I'm leaving the yard with my camera I put extra batteries in my pocket.
ReplyDeleteI think the overgrowth adds to the charm!
ReplyDeletecute birdhouse!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen Thanks for comments on my post, I still cannot send replies!! Great post today and I think perhaps you should do no more staring at cats or perhaps its the camera they do not like!! I love the first shot. Yes very creative adn I also like the overgrown look in the shot perhaps not if it was my garden!
ReplyDeletea bird house atop a shovel - now that's a new one on me
ReplyDeleteThat little house is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
Awesome photos, Karen. You how I love cats; both of these are cute!
ReplyDeleteYour photos captured the feel of the town.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots- and I think you do have a way with the wary kitties!
ReplyDeletefun shots! love the bird house on the shovel -- clever. i agree with the others, you obviously have a way with wary kitties! i'll join you with iced tea on the porch. !!!
ReplyDeleteThe second I saw that birdhouse I thought I would have to copy it too. What a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the Vera Bradley bag in the background of the last cat shot. I use to have that pattern but in the yellow. Bummer about the camera battery. I made our whole trip on one battery (even though I had two extra) I was quite surprised.
ReplyDeleteWow Oliver is an absolutely beautiful cat! I love black cats.
ReplyDeleteLove those cats!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the world around you. I like the birdhouse shovel also.
ReplyDeletePretty pictures of some cute scenes!
ReplyDeleteoh great photos! i love the porch scene and really cool idea for the shovel! shy guy is cute!
ReplyDeletewonderful shots, Oliver is very handsome! I've always wanted a porch with cape cod chairs, nice photo.
ReplyDeleteThat porch looks so inviting! And the kitties are so cute :) I hate it when I'm mid photo and look down to see my battery doesn't have enough juice to take the shot! So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI really like the birdhouse on shovel handle. What a clever idea1

ReplyDeleteVery cute idea for the birdhouse. Thank you for joining in this week Karen.
ReplyDeleteCan't resist these photos of Londonderry. I like the color and the "post" on the birdhouse.
ReplyDeleteLove that birdhouse! Looks like a lovely place to visit! Your Mom's cat looks just like my son's cat, Lucky. He is a devil. Every time I try to pet him, he scratches me! My feelings get so hurt. He he. xo
ReplyDeleteLovely shots! I agree completely on that front porch---nice cool breeze, comfy fleecy sweater and a "can't put down, book"
ReplyDeleteThere was a black cat in my early neighborhood which scare me... your mom’s cat look cute and calm. I love that porch and would cheer with you on the idea. Cute bird-feeder :)
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos! Cute birdhouse on a shovel, sweet kitty-cats, and love the porch. Definitely inviting. I'll join you, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place to visit and take photographs....I love that first shot of the birdhouse on the shovel...I think I will try that in the mountains....I always love cat shots and these guys are cute even though they do look alittle weary.....the porch looks inviting too...
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely join you on that porch.
ReplyDeleteI like the shovel idea too, and sitting on the porch, and the kitty :)

ReplyDeleteLove that birdhouse on the shovel and it definitely looks like a look that should be copied. How cute it is! also love the porch and it does look like a great place to spend a few hours reading and watching the world go by. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI agree that birdhouse is too cute...
ReplyDeleteLove the birdhouse and the porch. Things of little concern for many, find place in someone's heart. After all, life is a collection of little things with grandeur touch. Good shots.
