[Leica] IMG: From a Neighborhood Walk

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

I took a walk around the immediate neighborhood today to look for photo ops. 
 Bees and butterflies were very scarce, but I did catch a fly perched on a 
Rose of Sharon bloom.  This is cropped to two percent of the original image:

Because I have not had an opportunity to clear out the weeds and bushes 
recently, the birds are enjoying the berries on the mature Poke Weed plants:

A neighbor up the street is adding a room to his home, and I noted a handy 
lift in use to raise the shingles to roof level.  A gasoline-powered cable 
system pulls the platform up a standard ladder:
