This is a close-up of details on a friend’s biplane. I love the color and the shapes and just think it’s a neat picture. If you’re an airplane enthusiast, it’s a 1929 Travel Air that he calls Ace and you can take a ride in it if you’re inclined. I rode in his other plane this summer and thought it was great! Read about that here!
Have a pleasant day, friends. And don’t forget to look closely for the beauty in the world around you. It’s there – you just have to see it!
Have you been to the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati? It’s one of my favorite places in the Queen City and a fun way to pass an afternoon. They display about one hundred years of signage and in such a thoughtful way that you see something different from every angle.
They have about 20,000 square feet of display space that’s packed full of interesting things. Of course, I prefer the mid century stuff but there’s plenty of other fun pieces from advertising history.
Want to visit? You’ll find all the details on their website.
Who could say no to this face? We humans like to say that we rescue animals but sometimes I wonder just who did the rescuing. I gave Scout a place to live and hopefully a good life – but he has repaid me twofold with more companionship and laughter than you can imagine.
If you have a chance to rescue an animal in need, I suggest you do it. You’ll undoubtedly change both your lives forever.
When the weather turns cold and the snow starts to fly, I have to settle down and start organizing digital pictures.
There are duplicates and bad pictures that need to be deleted. That’s time consuming but easy. However, some are organized by date and others by topic and this is where I run into trouble. In the long run, organizing by date doesn’t work because you have to know what year or month to look under to find anything. This works for birthdays and events you associate with a specific date but not much else.
So I think they need to be organized by topic and then by date but this part of the process sounds overwhelming. Plus, I have pictures burned to disc and saved on Snapfish but not anywhere else. Not to mention the stacks of prints waiting for albums.
If I get started this November, I should be all caught up in five or six years!
Who has tips for organizing digital photos? I would love to learn from your experience!
Most of my hiking trips are squeezed in between work and chores at home – usually no more than two or three miles in an evening. It’s usually enough to get some exercise and to make me want more time. Saturday morning’s goal was to get out for a longer hike in the Hocking Hills.
Evidently, that was everyone else’s goal too. Fall is a busy time at our local parks. It’s more or less the Smokys of the north so there were a lot of people, even in sections of the trail that normally are sparsely populated.
Here are a few notes from the field.
They call it the “Posey Pot.”
It’s in the middle of Laurelville, a small town in the Hocking Hills which I travel through somewhat frequently. I can’t begin to tell you how long it’s been there but the posey pot has been a source of pride in this community for generations.
It’s a farming community with a small population and few businesses. But it’s a nice village where the people are proud to fly their flag and where neighbors look out for one another. You’ll find the salt of the earth here.
I’ll take that over a city any day.
