There was something about the way the light angled through the yard and at certain times would light up an area perfectly. One of those times was when I was photographing this Acorn Woodpecker. I posted these several years ago on a blog I closed out but I enjoyed revisiting them again. So, these were taken about six years ago around the time we first moved to Wrightwood - a different mountain range than where we live now. This area was about 6500 feet, altitude, and where we are now is close to 5000. From being a flatlander and moving to 6000 feet I remember it taking awhile to adjust to the difference in altitude when out walking. I did enjoy many walks through the area and my camera definitely got a work out. I posted a few of the houses I would see along my walks ..these two were just down the road from us.
I loved this house when I would see it. I use to imagine that my sister lived in this one - the style would have fit her perfectly and it was only about six houses away from mine.
That's it for now - I am enjoying my old photos again so I will probably post more from this area that I may or may not have posted before. We were on limited upload speed and I remember that I could only post so may as it took so long. Many never got posted.
Every time I walked down our road I would pass this house that had this little barn or storage area in the back of the property. Rarely did I ever pass it when it didn't beg for a photo - the lighting was always amazing.
Here is this cute woodpecker. He pecked many holes in the houses up here - I could walk by and see them. The telephone poles also had been drilled by him ...holes everywhere. I loved to sit and watch him while he ate.
