Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

From my window: this is how a technician repairs the telephone connections - with an umbrella as protection!

Fancy little umbrella.  Wonder if he knew he was being watched.

so_P_bubble

No I don't think so - he was all the time with his head in that electrical box.  I never saw his face.

Bubble, is that frog waiting to be turned into the Prince?  Cute!

Sue you had me looking and I did not realize you were talking about Bubbles's avatar.

Hey Jack, I am ONE and UNIQUE bubble. No esses for me!    :2funny:

During our walk today was surprised to see so many geese, possibly 50 or more.  Hope just passing and Oglebay drives them away.  Had to be careful where you walk!

But they do make a pretty picture.

There are two trellis on the lower path at Oglebay.  This photo shows part of one.  They replaced all the wood, but never have vines.  I do not question them, appreciate all they offer.  Not much color this fall, may improve with frost.

Jack, these colors look unreal. Is the grass really that acid green? The water so deeply blue? It reminds me of Van Gogh, in a different style of course.

jackwv

Bubble, I may have been helping mother nature by booting the color a bit. 

Vanilla-Jackie

Jack wv, guess not every day one gets likened to Van Gogh...does this mean you will become famous?  ;D

jackwv

Jackie, I just get into the suv (van) and go :D

Photo of interior of Lodge today and a view of the golf course from the lodge.

That’s such a lovely place.  Fortunate that it is close by and you can enjoy it.

jackwv

Jean you have so much around you.   The best thing about Oglebay for me is it is close by and great spot to walk Mimi and enjoy the surroundings.   

Vanilla-Jackie

Jack wv...
..your Oglebay...the perfect dog walking spot...the scenery's one could never get bored with, would change within every season, its colours, its bareness, its fullness...

jackwv

Jackie, yes never bored.  Dread winter coming on but even then manage the occasional walk and look for the snow on the landscape. 

Like to see photos from others that travel, go on cruises, or simply visit families in their part of the world.

so_P_bubble

Your wishes have to be followed Jack :)  This is in Cambridge UK

Bubble that was quick and great photos.  He has traveled more in his short life than I have in 87 years.

Marilyn


Freckles in her frog costume. We are performing at on of the Rehab/Residential facilities this afternoon with other Furry friend teams. Our Halloween circus is going to be so much fu7n. Then we have another circus at another facility on Halloween.

jackwv

Marilyn, good one of Freckles, at first thought it was Bubble.   

Cold dreary day here but have two football games today, world series later then Penguin Hockey.   Mimi spent quite a bit outside.  Had to dry her off from the rain.  Fed her then she moved to the day bed.  When I looked she had left and gone to the living room.  Caught her in this pose, guess she has had enough T V

FlaJean

Mimi looks cold.  I hope she doesn’t get sick from being in the rain.

jackwv

Jean thanks for your concern.  No she is just comfortable.   She was not soaked and spends most of her time on the patio.  Have to call her in even when the temp dips.   On my way to church and sorry to say temp only 35 and they say feels like 29.  Guess we both will just have to get used to it.

jackwv

Cold and dreary.   Not sure of walk today, possibly if sun comes out.   Sitting at the computer, as usual.  Was looking at my fall photos of Oglebay over the years and came up with a collage using an app on windows 10.

You are very creative Jack.

No one travels these days or follow your suggestion :(

Lovely photos.  The colors in your collage, Jack, are beautiful.

And, of course, Mimi and Freckles are too. :)

  It's dreary here too (Oregon coast) and weatherman says no sun today.

edit: Oh, and your technician...his back anyway, is quite beautiful too, Bubble. ;D

Bubble and Nita thanks, owe it all to the app.  I furnish the photos and the app does the rest.  While here did a quick one of winter scenes, might as well start adjusting to the change.
