from my lens:

these two guys really do like each other, or maybe they just tolerate

each other I guess, it's a Mexican Standoff, who is going to move first?

it's so funny to watch them just sit there and wait it out lol

4th of July photos
{left to right}
me, serving trifle for dessert
rainbow over the hayfield
seven sisters roses
bunnies snacking by the birdfeeder
the old Davis farmstead, as the mist rolls in
view of the valley, Purple Brook Road
the Lord provided His Own fireworks
as the sky was filled with heat lightning
and I then drove home under a full moon
it was a glorious day!

and finally, here's a page I created for the 4th of July,
the Betsy Ross House, in my hometown of Philadelphia, PA
