They were not what I was looking for and the wind was blowing about 30 mph. Just about had to hang from the tripod to keep it from blowing over. Thanks for looking

Thanks for looking. Leroy

After two days of much needed rain, it looked like there was going to be a brake in the clouds for a nice sunset. I headed up to the top of Talimena Scenic Drive to take some sunset pictures. The clouds were not cooperative and the sunset was a kind of a bust. I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with these.

The sunset

Edward's Store was a stop along the Butterfield Overland Mail Route between 1858 - 1861 in Choctaw Territory (now Oklahoma). It was a dinner stop with the stage station 5 miles down the route. The building is log and what is called a "dog run house" (living qtrs 1 building and sleeping qtrs the other. All under 1 roof.) The corners of the building are dovetailed together. Was the original post office for Red Oak, OK in 1868. Located about 8 miles n.e of Red Oak. It is privately owned

Thanks everyone. I was up there early in the morning with the clouds being spotty and the sunshine came out and lit the trees in front of me. I did do some post work in Lightroom 4. Leroy

Some men in a pickup truck drove to a lumberyard. One of the men walked into the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."
The clerk asked, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"
The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck.
He returned shortly and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-fours."
"All right. How long do you need them?"
The customer paused for a moment and said, "I'd better go check."
After a while he returned to the office and said, "A long time. We're going to build a house."

Crowded elevators smell different to midgets. Have you ever heard one say " Gee, your hair smells great today"?

My 98 Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel pick-up has 458,000 miles and is still going strong. I drove it from eastern OK to northern California 6 times a couple of years ago.

Read the same thing with Cascade, but the wife wouldn't
let me get into the dishwasher. What a bummer, but I
will try the Dawn,wonder if I soak in the tub if it would
work better. :thumbup:[/quote]

That might work better, but since all I got is the shower it'll have to do.

After all these year, I discovered I’d been doing something daily all wrong. Maybe, I can correct it.
I have always have shampooed my hair when I take my shower. That is usually the first thing I do. When I rinse my hair, the shampoo will flow down my body. I recently happened to pick up a bottle of shampoo, and was looking at the directions and was horrified. Right on the bottle, it said it conditions and builds body. I’ve been letting this stuff run down my body for over sixty years and I can attest, boy has it build body.
No more.
On a recent shopping trip to my WalMart, I needed dish soap and picked up a bottle of Dawn. Right on the label, it says it cuts and removes fat.
Don’t try to call me for the next week or so. I’ll be in the shower.

No, she carves it out with the chainsaw completely. She uses different size saws. I watched a guy at a state fair carve an eagle with spread wings out of a log in 30 minutes. Her name is Kay Jackson and she has gone all over the US and carved. If you have a tree in your front yard that needs cut. She can make you a statue of your choice.
