I photographed quite a few weather vanes this past weekend in the Delaware Bay town of Fortescue, NJ. Here’s one that seemed ‘beachy’ to me. I think it is a heron design.
I miss the WordPress Photo Challenge and thought an interesting alternative would be to offer one of my own on Wednesdays. Weather Vane Wednesdays is just what the title implies, a photo of a weather vane.
Create a weather vane post, the name doesn’t have to be in the title. If you would like others to see your post leave a link to your blog in the comment box. You can also tag the post #weathervaneweds. If you place a link to my post in your post you will create a pingback that will appear in the comment section. Thanks so much for taking part in my challenge
This is a really nice weathervane; much classier than the rooster topped ones.

This past week I thought about weather vanes as we set out on a day trip. The others in the car were roped into looking for vanes with me. How many did we spot? Zero! I’m beginning to wonder if they were never used here in the mountains, or if something sucked them into outer space.

That does seem strange. Maybe it is more a Northeast or coastal tradition. I suppose in the days without media coverage a weather vane might let you know a storm was coming.

The next time we are on the road, I hope to look again for weather vanes. We tend to use interstates, and we’re not likely to see many houses from the road.

When we have far to go we tend to do the same.
