Venango Creek Lighthouse


I'm not sure why a resident chose to build this lighthouse on Venango Creek. It is a really nice lighthouse, and I'm certain anyone lost on the river will find it handy. :-) We didn't know it was functional until we drove by after dark and saw its beacon swing around. I understand not all his neighbors are thrilled. :-0

Dave's Ice Cream


My mark in history! I'm so happy that my achievements as an ice cream consumer have led to my being honored with an ice cream stand in my name. ;-) Thanks Gryff for letting me post your photo.

Boot HIll


I came upon this while hiking a park in Erie County New York.

Mini Spare



This seems to be a novel idea from Mini. They've done away with the spare tire and added a spare car on the dash. If the car breaks down, drop the spare in water and wait for it to grow out to a full-size one :-).

Tree Crutches



Holden Arboretum installed these over a year ago on this really old tree. The tree looks great so they must be working.

Go Fly a Kite


I can never get one of these things to stay in the air. I was driving along the Niagara River when I spotted this in a park along the river. It was a beautiful day for flying a kite and these looked really cool.
