The ol' woman says she ain't a movin' in this fancy house, until I get drainage tiles put in the yard. I told her we can't afford a nice place like this, AND get drainage tiles, too. She said she will just stay in the trailer, then. Sometimes ya just can't please women, no how. LOL.

You do make me laugh Jim! This does look like it has good air conditioning though!!! ha ha I like the lines in this capture and reflections too. The colour too and the way the yellow grass stands out separating the building and water. Well done!

I really like the colors in the old shed/crib JimboB. The editing programs really makes it pop. Good scene.

Nice job on this, Jimbob. Has nice definition and those ripples are wonderful. Don't know why the woman would be upset. Why, this place has central air and everything!

The old shed looks "mighty purty" to me Jimbob. The old woman doesn't know what she is missing. Do it for her like a good samaritan. Nice shot with the water around the residence.

Nice mansion Jimbob. Like to let it, but I think I can't afford the price, lol.
Think it's wise decision from you too to post it under 'architecture'.
Good post work my friend!
