Lock and Dam

Caleb (oldest grandson) and I went to the lake
yesterday. He had some new binoculars he wanted to
play with that his Great Uncle Ray got for him.

We ended up at the Lock and Dam just has a barge
was coming down and about to enter the
lock.
Great time for Nana to take pics as Caleb
looks through his binoculars.


The workers are keeping the barge from hitting the wall.


Caleb and I called this guy on top the
"Gate Keeper"!

Thought this made a great pic
of the herron and the flag. Couldn't work
better unless it was an Eagle and the flag!




Here is the barge being pushed into the lock.
Reminds me of when I went down the Panama
Canal...so cool, only I was on that barge....
I mean boat!


The cargo was a bit large so the last
part of the barge, next to the boat pushing it
had to be removed and pulled back out.

And the doors started to close.

All closed up.


While watching the barge Caleb switched out
from the binoculars to my other camera, the D40.
Teaching him to be a photographer.


Later we went to the other side of the dam and
Caleb actually took pics with my D200.

Check out what he caught.


Pretty good photographer.


Nice catch Caleb.


We had a great time.

Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
