A Taylor's Barograph.....


is in my possession... its a pretty cool machine... unfortunately requires electricity... so maybe only good for winter use... i'm giving it a trial run... and it works!!! went to the Flea Market in Waldport, with Bonnie Jean.... it's always a source of amusement if nothing else... i didn't see anything that perked my interest, and was waiting for ms bonnie jean to finish her puttering around... looked in the 'goodie' case, and there it was... just screaming to come home with me....i'm always a sucker for quirky stuff... next i'd like a wind/gust recorder of some sort.... i remember as a kid, my parents friend had one, was very cool on a windy night... watching to see how high the gusts got... i read somewhere that canadians are notorious weather watchers... i'm right there with them... nothing like a good thunderstorm or snow storm to get the heart rate going :D ..... so i poked in Taylor's Barograph in Google... and up popped one for sale... $145.00... i paid $45.00... i don't feel so bad now....
been on several excursions of late... thought i'd post a couple of the pics....wandered over to Beaver Creek Rd... on the north side of the Alsea river....

i think i'm in spring mode... my 'grass' roots are showing



i'd have like to gotten closer, but there were 'things' in the barn.. generally ppl don't mind you photographing old barns.. but the contents are a different matter... politeness is the best route... in my estimation anyways....

i took other photos but nothing really spoke to me... i kinda like this one...... some sort of watery plant that was doing a gentle dance with the current....
added a new Blog... thanks to my friend Pat.... Idleworm... LOTS of cool info, fun to read ...
