Day Ninety-two - "Architecturally Yours". . .

That was a great start - ONE HUNDRED PERCENT correct! What we thought was a windmill is actually, a wind pump! This one is just down the street in WB - I know I really have to get out more often!


Thanks for hanging around for another Challenge - Carol, Phil, Peyton, Deana, Milt, Returning Ted, Mike P, Michael K., Mike Di., Michelle, Joani, Joyce, and Tony.

So for #92, I shot this. . .


Background: first one of these in the U. S. was built in Philadelphia in the early 1800s.

Day Ninety-one - "Architecturally Yours". . .

I've decided to make Architecture my April Challenge for reasons you'll soon find out. To define architecture, I refer to the one used in my camera club: any man-made structure or group of structures designed for human use (churches, towers, fountains, etc.) as well as interiors, details, and exteriors where the structure is or structures are the dominant element[s].

I haven't figured out how to keep you involved but here is today's challenge. Little background - developed in 1854 these devices were an essential part of a self-contained domestic water system!

Day Ninety - "Strictly by the Numbers". . .

Another month gone by the boards and I'm still hanging in there. 

I told you I'd end the month with a few easy ones and all of you nailed the bar code - Phil, EMO, Milt, Carol, Peyton, Mike Di., Joyce, Mike P., Michelle, and Tony!

Here is my small way of saying thanks for playing along with the Numbers Challenge. . .



It's your daily response that keeps me posting!

Day Eighty-nine - "Strictly by the Numbers" . . .

Today I have to compete with the Easter Bunny for your undivided attention. I would have had better luck if it had been the Groundhog from Punxsutawney!

 Well, Happy Easter just the same. . .

For those of us who do shoot digitally, they were compact flash cards. The numbers reflect the size of the cards in GB and the speed it uses to write the pix - 133x.

Membership in this blog will be maintained by Milt, Peyton, Beth, Tony, Michael K., Phil, Joyce, and Mike Di. There was ONE of you who will be on probation and you know who you are. . .


To finish off the Numerical Challenges for March. . .

Day Eighty-seven - "Strictly by the Numbers" . . .

What happened? I threw out a set of numbers from the old Dewey Decimal System and most of you panicked! Most of you were trained on that library system. "784" was music "L" was the author.

Only Peyton and Mike Di. knew it was numbering on a book. Mike gets the Gold Star for identifying it as the Dewey Decimal!!


Let's finish the month on a few easy ones - don't want to lose my following! Numbers close to our heart!!!

Day Eighty-six - "Strictly by the Numbers". . .

It was our clock radio. Someone tried to figure out the station on which it was set. Since it is our wake-up call, it is on WBZ-Am 1030.



Good call, Phil, EMO, Michelle, Peyton, Michael K., Milt, Deana, Tony, and Mike Di.

As March winds down so does my Numerical Challenge!

Day Eighty-five - "Strictly by the Numbers". . .

Good call (Mike P., EMO, Michelle, Carol, Phil, Milt, Michael K., Mike Di., Joani, and Joyce) on the limited edition numbers from yesterday. It was another one of those Sebastian figurines for Lancaster Bible College.



I think the rest of the month should be fairly easy to figure out so let's end March on a very successful note! See what I mean -
