Another shot from my parent’s backyard while my leg is healing. I went to the Orthopedic Surgeon today and they removed all the staples from the leg but he said I still can’t put any weight on the leg for another four weeks. My Summer is quickly evaporating before my eyes.

“Distlefink” sculpture by sculptor Ramon Lago. The Distlefink is the good luck bird of the Pennsylvania Germans. It actually is a stylized version of the goldfinch. The goldfinch eats thistle seed and uses thistle down for its nest and was called a thistlefinch from which comes the Pennsylvania Dutch “Distlefink”. Distlefink is often seen on traditional Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Signs and is a symbol of good luck and happiness.

I took this on Saturday afternoon 1-24-2009. Processed as a single RAW image through Photomatix Pro to make an HDR.
