Today’s shot was taken out in the middle of Amish coutry.  There’s this old creekbed that’s rather small, but also has fairly steep  banks and twists and curves in really cool ways.  This part of it actually wasnt what I had in mind when planning todays shot… so I may revisit this little creekbed for other photos in the near future.

I’m trying to get more precise information about the manufacture date of this machine.  It was either 1897 or 1910. This is what’s known as a “Pique” sewing machine, and is used for sewing gloves together.   This particular machine is the one my Great Grandmother used after coming to the USA from England.   ** UPDATE **  This machine was manufactured on July 20, 1897 and is a Model 16 Pique Machine, in Singer’s industrial family of machines.  Sweet!

I’ve been taking a different route to work the last few days, and stumbled across this really cool looking old house.  While not necessarily abandoned, it’s certainly uninhabitable.

I took this one in my office today.  A bunch of steel ball bearings, a mini slinky, and a magnetic base make for endless fun.

These guys were all spread out around a field until I showed up.  Apparently they thought I was the bearer of food because they came my way when I got close to take a picture.
