Wary

 


RAF Pilot with a Hawker Typhoon, Second World War

 


The Clamshell

 


Time it

 



A "Screamer"

 


 


An unusual office cubicle




 


Is she cooking the bacon or just drying it out?

 


Snacks

 


Interesting Living Space

 


Have a nice morning smile

 


Beaten with the ugly stick, but the personality makes it attractive.

 


The Intimidator

 


Rough, but better shelter than nothing.

 


Wow! That's a looker! And pricey, but only if you ignore the fact that this should last for generations. That's the beauty of cast iron. My favorite skillet (a Griswald) is nearly 100 years old, and probably purchased by my grandfather with money he earned working in a gold mine or lumber mill.

 




Dolphins. Playful beasts.

 


Mom and Dad? Meet my new girlfriend, Frieda Freakout.

 


They got the beat

 


Snow load somewhere in Switzerland

 


Red sweater, sky blue Chevy convertible, and S.F. before it lost its mind.

 


You can trust your car to the man who wears the star. The big, bright Texaco star!

 


So Sixties/Seventies. Sometimes that era seems so much more sane.

Yevgeny Khaldei. Late autumn. 1960s

 


Joseph Poole Addey - Girl Reading (1883)

 


Painting by Wang Ming Yue

 


Judith Bergerson(American) River Moods 38

 


Park the space speeder, throw up a tarp and read the paper. All that's missing is a visit from the Swedish Bikini Team!

 


Me at work today


 

Churned up and (probably) spit out

 


Alsace and Lorraine. An ancient bone of contention between the Germans and the Franks

 


Works perfectly for two eggs of a morning. Ask me how I know.

 



Old Times Snow Load


 

Relaxed, but alert

 


Have a bright smile this morning

 


Better not have a flash flood

 


Rigging

 


Both in their prime

 


I like the thick canvas

 



Just hanging out

 


Come on, Fred. Drive like an adult.

 


Hand Assembled

 


It just demands to be picked up

 


Get out of the water

 


Are the fish biting?

 


The predator has spotted you
