My World Tuesday

This week I thought I would take you on a short tour of Golden City Missouri, a small town we always stop in when traveling to one of our favorite lakes. As you can tell from the photo its a small town, the intersection above (the one red light we found in town) brings you to a gem of a little cafe. "Cookys Cafe" is one of those places that each weekend people will arrive in small groups in cars, on bikes, motorcycles or just for some of the best pie west of the Mississippi. The owners will tell you they sell two kinds of pie; with ice cream or without. The truth is its something like 30 and they are all good.

The morning we were there we found a group of young people biking across the Midwest,
as well as the folks driving these motorcycles.
There is a saloon in town, the Side Door, it was closed.
A few antique stores.
There is an assortment of older brick buildings from Golden Citys past, still open is a one chair barber shop, small post office and mixture of newer places like a gas station and quick stop over on the other side of town where the highway skirts the city from the north.
Always a pleasure to stop.

Camera Critters #70

Some interesting critters visiting our garden recently; Bees, Ive seen more "bumble bees" this year but fewer honey bees, thats not good.
A white spider who most likely spends more time on the paler cone flower.
According to my cheapo butterfly and moth guide this is a Great Spangled Fritillary, I love any name that begins with Great Spangled.

Bones

While wandering around a flea market the other day I came across a few piles of skulls.
Most were cattle but I think one or two were actually buffalo.
I thought I would play around in the software for a change on my computer and sepia tone the images, I usually don't do this, at most I might crop a photo now and then but I thought they looked kind of interesting this way.
