The Maumee River and Ewing Island









red berry tree

These pictures were taken beneath a bright red berry tree at a park here in Perrysburg.  It was overcast and snowing the day I took them so the limbs and berries were silhouetted against the sky.   The berries were an intense red especially with the bright white snow behind them.   They remind me of delicate cut paper silhouettes.

OIL

I came across this old oil can at the antique store the other day and immediately I saw a military tank...how ironic don't you think?   I plan on doing a huge drawing of it in the future.

Hmmmm.... Is this ART?








































This is a board that we've used for the past year as a "backer board" on the drill press at work.   A backer board is basically a scrap piece of wood used as a buffer between the object you're drilling and the metal table of the drill press beneath it.  Beautiful isn't it?!

Good-vs-Evil


I was at the antique store yesterday; I had to laugh at the placement of these objects.   I wonder if the owner  was consciously aware of how they were hung.   It's perfect!... booze ("The Taste Beyond 12 Year Old Scotch"), dancing, and a picture of a sexy woman right beside a painting of "The Sacred Heart of Mary" disapprovingly peering over the track that separates the two ... Priceless!
