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.

I would have loved the house you pictured me in! I do that often myself, imagine us living in a certain area of town and in houses that were close together. These really are beautiful! So are these from the same camera you use now or not? The colors are outstanding!
Oh, so lovely! And what a great shot of the woodpecker. I used to imagine having a little place like that in back of my home that would become an office or art studio or just a place to call my own.
i would love to have a little studio also in the back yard, but knowing me I would still end up sitting on my bed drawing. About the camera Laura - it's the same brand, only now i have a newer one - although it's several years old now. i really liked the one I had that took these pics. It was a Panasonic Lumix something or other.
Wow... brilliant photos of the house!
Used what you mean...I would love to live there too. Living in town, as I do, does have its advantages...but it is SO noisy and polluted.
Oh that gorgeous woodpecker!!
I think it would be well worth a few holes to have him around my home!😊😊
yes it's worth it definitely, the holes in the house (I'm renting)...lol. I would like to live near a town that is level to walk down to. I walk down to town but then I have to walk up hills to get back. i'm waiting for the day it's all level.
I can see why you liked it there. That house is really neat.
What great colors in this post, and the one after it! I am reading backwards in your blog today.
Love the photos Sandy! Thank you! That woodpecker is adorable!! Big Hugs!
thanks Stacy and Sandy
