See It Sunday: Fish

This is from my archive. I published an unedited version before,

but for the See It Sunday theme this week, which is "Fish,"

I did some cropping and cleaning.

The edit also revealed some subtle reflections, so I am submitting it for Weekend Reflections as well.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

I published this before in color.

I think it is better in black and white.

Which do you like better, cropped or uncropped?

Two of my friends have a cut flower business. 

These beauties, and the gladiolas in the previous post,

are some of their products.

Wide Woods Panorama

I did some experimenting with the panorama function of my camera.

These are the woods I walk through regularly.

It was a nice day!

Reflected Sky

In the previous post I showed How to Change a Tractor Tire.

The same day I took those shots, I captured this.

I think the reflected sky is more interesting than the real one!

How to Change a Tractor Tire

We needed to replace the large tires on our tractor this summer.

The answer to "Why?" is evident in the first frame of this collage!

After finding suitable replacement tires which we could afford--

they were in Massachusetts--

and having them shipped to us,

we called our local tire center.

The young man who came out worked very hard!

After jacking the tractor up, he first had to pump out the solution which filled the tire. 

(You can see this in the second frame.)

Next, he had to break the bead, which required some serious work with a very big hammer! 

(It had been a very long time since these tires were changed!)

The rest of the job was "easy:"

dismounting the old, 

mounting the new,

installing the new tube,

pumping in the solution,

pressurizing with air.

But it was finally done, on both sides.

Hopefully we will not need to do this again for another very long time!

This window on a house in town caught my eye recently,

so I caught an image!

Watery Wednesday

Nebraska "Lighthouse"

Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska, is man-made Minatare Lake.

Nebraska has no ocean shoreline,

but those who designed this lake chose to put in a "lighthouse."

One can enter this structure,

and climb the (very narrow) stairs,

To see the lake and the weather. 

As you can see, the water was quite high when I was there.

I enjoyed our visit!

Nebraska Sky

This was taken just outside the gate of Scotts Bluff National Monument in western Nebraska.

I found it in my archive as I was looking for a photo for 

Skywatch Friday.

I think I will also link with Scenic Sunday. I hope everyone has a good weekend!

P.S. This place was a landmark on the Oregon Trail. If you are interested in the history of the Trail,
