On New Year’s Day we took a drive to the Delaware Bay and went through the town of Deerfield, New Jersey on the way home. Deerfield is a small country community, but it is home to a large antique store called Jantiques. Jantiques is three story warehouse and claims to have the widest selection of imported furniture and garden decor in the state.
We didn’t go into the warehouse this time, instead we took a few moments to just gaze at the oddities and life-size statues in the garden lot. Amazing! I was also able to spot two decent rooster weather vanes, although you have to study the photo to pick them out in the midst of the surrounding bric-a-brac.
Take a look at these entries in the last Weather Vane Wednesday Photo Challenge:
The 59 Club – Reporting Calm Blue Skies
Exploring Colour – Plough Wind Vane
The Photo Challenge: Each Wednesday, I post a photograph of a Weather Vane with a short description of where it can be found and any history connected to it. The main focus of the challenge is the photo of the Weather Vane and the location. The challenge can be Wordless if that is what you choose. 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. The challenge is open all week for comments and posts. Thanks so much for taking part in my challenge.
Many thanks to Cee, of Cee’s Photography, for including this challenge in her listing of WordPress Challenges. If you love challenges take a look at this page and while you are there check out some of Cee’s terrific posts. Thanks Cee!

I am keeping my eyes open everywhere to try and find a weathervane for my house…or yard.

How interesting! I was walking home today from town and recalled a wind vane down a side street that I spotted from the car recently. I went out of my way to find the vacant section next door and got some shots. Guess what? My wind vane is also a painted rooster! Couldn’t believe it when I found your latest wind vane post (this one), and you’d posted roosters! 🙂 Will post online asap.
