The last thing I want to do before winter is get the firing point covered to keep the sun, rain and snow off when shooting.

Saw these critters one morning a couple of weeks ago at my In-law's place. They live in western Pennsylvania in an area that is still fairly rural.

rufrdr, it's pretty cool watching the critters huh. The other morning when I was out with the dogs we came across what I can only describe as a very very large painted turtle laying her eggs. By the time I got back to the house, grabbed a camera and got back to where she was she had gone but pretty neat to see all the same.

Dougan, we think so as well mate. All my working life I tried to get a job up here but positions were always like gold dust, I always said that when I retired we would move here and buy a place with some land. For me it's the closest thing to perfection.

I would say you're a lucky man Blu...but though many people talk about 'buying a piece of land'...some actually do it tongueout
