Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  ÂÂ

With all the copper thefts she was probably afraid you were cataloguing it for a later removal. Sad that it's come to that, eh? Wonderful capture, it's a lovely weather vane!

this has got to be the best one I have seen. several years ago I went to make a bid on some repairs at a house. the owner(female) was giving me a hard time and I had not even gave her a price or had she accepted my bid which I never made. well, several years later I had stopped to take a picture of an old house and while I was there on the street, a woman came out from the house next door. she wanted to know why I was taking pictures of her house. for once, I had my thinking cap on and I told her I was taking pictures for the city as they were wanting to demolish the house as an eye sore. I got in my vehicle and left, before she could get a gun and shoot at me!!

That is a funny story Richard!

This is a really nice piece of work. I can see why she would be so protective of it.

This is a beauty! Some folk are paranoid. I was taking pics of neighbours' security lights prior to choosing a new one for my back drive, and a woman rushed at me to see what I was doing. She only lives two plots away, can't believe she hadn't noticed me before, I must pass her house ten times a week!

A very beautiful weather vane, nice capture! There are people looking to steal the metal, so maybe she was suspicious!

It is a work of art - nice that the owners watch out for each other!!!

with all the idiots out there stealing what they can because the rules don't apply to them, I can understand the issues. Great capture

Nice detail study. It looks like solid brass and copper plate.

That would be good - it doesn't take much to cross over the border and enjoy a good game - hockey or baseball!

That's a beautiful weather vane! Great shot of it, Dana! With all the idiots stealing copper (they actually steal A/C units from churches and hospitals) I can see why she keeps an eye on it. Good that she wasn't overly snippy about it.

Sad that nowadays everyone freaks when someone photographs something or someone special to them. Great shot, it's a beauty!

There must be easer things to nick than risking life and limb to climb a roof for a bit of copper.
