Photo Challenge – Weather Vane Wednesday/Route 322

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges4 Comments

Since June, I have found four predominant themes for weather vanes. In order, the most popular are: eagles, horses, sailboats and cockerels. Today’s challenge entry is another horse, but one quite superior to the normal flattened image I’ve found for other #WVD’s. I didn’t get close enough in person to decide if the horse is silver or spray-painted white, or perhaps even a bit of both, but it certainly is a great piece. It’s three dimensional and larger than the norm. It sits atop a pole at the front of a driveway.

The weather vane is along busy Route 322 near the town of Mullica Hill, New Jersey.

US Route 322 (US 322) is a 494 mi (795.0 km) long, east–west United States Highway, traversing Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The road is a spur of U.S. Route 22 and one of the original highways from 1926. A portion of it at one time was concurrent with the Lakes-to-Sea Highway.

This beautiful dragon weather vane, almost hidden amongst the leaves that shade it, is within walking distance of my home.

Last week, Priorhouse Blog posted a great photo of a weathervane on top of a street sign. Take a look:

Past & Phuture – Retrospective 2014 & A Good Blog

On By TimelessladyIn Past, Phuture5 Comments

I love to read the blogs of others. Clicking the “like” box and posting comments is one of my weekly, if not daily, JOYS! I recently read a post on the Priorhouse Blog and viewed the terrific “Year in Review” slideshow: Priorhouse’s Year in Review. I was inspired by the creativity, and the idea, and commented on the post that I was going to try and follow the lead and also create a year in review video.

If your curiosity is piqued by the photographs you can find corresponding posts in the monthly archives located in the bottom right sidebar.

Thanks so much…Onward 2015!
