My aim was getting a bit off by this point. Blame it on chillblains. Can't operate the camera with my gloves on.

That's an eagle's head, by the way.

This is sort of an Aztec design.

Ft. Ball Monument, Tiffin

This statue of a Native American lady marks a spring that was inside the fort.

I haven't figured out why a monument to a War of 1812 fort shows a man in 17th century clothing. The whole thing's very nice, though.

I knew the glass had to be good, just from looking at it from outside.

This is absolutely magnificent.

A Meme

A while back, I was tagged, by Rhapsody, for a meme. I'm to list six unimportant habits or quirks I have.
1. I don't know why, but when standing still I tend to lean slightly to the right. The oddest part is the fact that my great-grandfather Arthur Bennett did the same. I'd never have realized I did it if my grandmother wasn't struck by the coincidence.
2. I talk to every cat I meet.
3. I'm incapable of walking past a beautiful tree or a good piece of stonework without touching it.
4. I tap the ground two or three times, with my cane, whenever I'm impatient or annoyed. If I do it four times, best make yourself scarce.
5. I tend to use a textbook example of the classic "harumph" frequently.
6. I collect unusual names. That started when I was told that I have an ancestral aunt named Serepta Anna Hanke Heffelfinger, in one of the Pennsylvania German lines.

Coming Soon

I actually managed to get Downtown for some new material, today. There are about eighty pictures to post, when my knees feel less like they're about to explode. Tomorrow morning, at the latest.

The Meme

Don't have the energy to deal with it, right now. I'll try tomorrow.

FYI

I'm not dead yet, just otherwise occupied. I'll post some pictures, and a meme, later this afternoon.

FYI

I've felt like the dog's breakfast for a week or so. Posting may be spotty for a bit longer.

One day, I'll get better pictures, but this is one of the most perfect examples of mid-20th century Gothic I've ever seen.
