Deer, Painting, Abandoned, Pics in General, and Opening Cans

 I am generally very careful 

whenever I am out and about 

around my home. A deer was hit just

a couple weeks ago two doors up from 

me, so its a given, I try to keep

my eyes peeled.

I shared this painting I did 

several months ago. I finally got

it to its new home. Well, I used my 

sis in law, Lori. She delivered it to my niece

Jessica, for her daughters 

room. 

I never painted a mini highland 

cow before but I am pleased

it turned out so nicely.

Jessica hung it in little Eve's

room and took a pick for 

me. That was sweet.

Here are just a few pics from 

my adventures out and about 

lately. 

Abandoned.

Not sure if abandoned or just

rustic sheds. But I love the 

rustic sheds, homes and barns

also.

 Shot this barn on the fly, 

that is as I flew by it..

and stopped in the center of the road,

looking back, but the sun was in a bad

spot so the Halloween figures did not

show up.

I have gone by this place several

times, but I snapped this pic cause

this reminds me of a OLD house that has

been built on or revamped. 

Just cool looking to me. 

 I posted a pic 

a few weeks back oh but 

when I went back, there was 

color, the yrllow.

And this, apparently a structure 

leftover from older time.

Sure, does make for a beautiful 

pic with the leaves changing. For

me as photographer this spot has a lot.

A rustic worn brick building, vines growing 

over it, water flowing slowly by,

 trees all around and the fall color. 

More than just one thing to focus on.

This is a tree at the end 

of my road, I have noticed before,

that this big, massive beauty is 

the first to start turning, 

and always the first to drop those

leaves.

Mother Nature sort 

of messes with you cause you 

could go by it one day and the leaves

look like they are getting yellow, starting

to turn. The next day, you look again

and it's all yellow and starting to drop.

Our temps had just started getting cooler, 

and as soon as it did, the change happened. 

I knew it was my time to head

out with the camera, one more rain and 

some hard winds, and they will

be gone.

Took this the same day as the 

yellow, and it don't appear to have 

lost any leaves. 

But what is amazing, is to 

look out among the trees and you

have a bust of RED, ORANGE, 

YELLOW, and LIGHT GREEN.

I just wished fall lasted a little

longer. 

On a post a couple days

ago I posted about can 

food actually lasting longer

then the date on the can.

Then Liz brought up that 

the can opener did not come

along with the can, it was 

a decade later. 

Then she wondered how 

they opened cans before.

This is what I found Liz~

 In the 1800s, canning methods were primarily labor-intensive and often resulted in tainted food. 

Canned foods were typically packed by hand 

in handmade tins, and the heating process to kill 

bacteria was often uneven, leading to spoilage. 

Before the invention of the can opener in 1858,

soldiers had to use sharp implements to open

 cans, which could be dangerous and frustrating.

 The need for preserved foods was driven by 

military necessity, and the first canning factory 

was established in 1813 by Bryan Dorkin in 

England. Over time, canning technology evolved, 

leading to safer and more efficient 

methods of preserving food.

I love the internet,
