It's The Weekend!!!!!!!

I went up to the courthouse yesterday to take some pictures of Superior Court. I really thought it was neat, because it is so nostalgic looking. The courthouse was built in 1893-1894, and is the tallest building in Blackford County. I took this first picture out the south window from the landing between the 2nd and 3rd floors. Superior Court is located on the 3rd floor.
This is a shot of the judge's bench, taken from the gallery.
This is a shot of the audience gallery. Note how old the seats are. They kind of remind me of the old movie theater seats.
This is a shot of the gallery from behind the bench.
This mural is located on the second floor. The middle is the county and the four to either corner are the county's four townships. Washington, Harrison, Licking and Jackson. Lori and I both live in Licking Township.

Today was back to my yard pics. I caught these 2 crazy squirrels in the bird feeder at the same time. The birds are usually content to stay on the ground and eat as the squirrels knock a lot of seed out.
I had to take this out the kitchen window. I washed all my windows today. The one in the kitchen, I took the screen out because one of my hummer feeders is outside it and the screen hinders picture taking.
Poor Salem got his quarterly bath this evening. He actually doesn't mind it. He's not to crazy about the lathering up, but he likes the rinsing off. I use the hand-held shower and put it on massage. It feels good to him, plus it gets the shampoo out faster. Yes, another lilly picture. I just wanted to show you what I do to these pics. The one on top is shown as shot.
This one is the exact same picture, but I over-contrasted it to get this effect. As you can see, the original pic is slightly blurred toward the top. So rather than deleting the pic, I did something different with it to make it still useful.

Gonna go for now. I have a family reunion to go to at noon tomorrow, then I have to work from 4 to 7. :( Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow.

Love Ya
