These are the photos that I wanted to share with you yesterday, but we didn’t get this year’s taken until this afternoon.  There are mostly 4 sets that I’m sharing with you, the top one is always the oldest, which means – excepting in one case which is 2016 – they are 2017, 2018, 2019.   These are taken from the Shrine on the hill above us.  The first set are photos that I combined in Photoshop – they give you an over view of the entire property, which shows in color. The rest are left, middle, right as you look down from above. The cross streets on the left  photo are South Stone Ridge Road which runs left to right in the photos, and Prince Place which runs from top to bottom.  See how many changes you can spot… there are many, though some you cannot see.

That’s it for today… next time I’ll tell you what we did Saturday and try to get some better photos of it. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little comparative study. I’m thinking next year we’ll do 2017 and 2020. Until Tuesday, as always~
Thanks for reading.

Fun Photo: We’re calling this, “The Secret Life of Goats”. This photo was taken today. We have no idea how he got on the roof. We have never seen him up there before. But he decided to moon us at the exact moment we were taking a photo.  I only noticed it because I was working on super closeups of the photos today when I was stitching them together. Crazy goats.
