My Father before WWII & his last time in uniform for a military funeral. In between the first and second photo he fought in WWII, 2 tours of Korea, & 2 tours of Viet Nam. He landed at Utah Beach & took part in maneuvers in Cuba long before the Bay of Pigs.

Hi all. I am in the process of upgrading to other computers/laptops. Therefore, I may be posting less until I get the pics together on to a 3T hard drive as I am no longer uploading them to this PC. For now, I refer you to my assistant editor. 🐄📁🏢

@firemind1701b.bsky.social #weekend Another planned out capture with a boat dock and a setting sun. It was so peaceful out on the lake & did my soul good. 👍🙏 📷 All I needed was a dog, eh?

#photography #nature #autumn @firemind1701b.bsky.social @bavarianbelle.bsky.social Took this a week ago at a state park. I ha hoped to get a pic of a sailboat - the geese were an added bonus! Canon EOS Rebel xTI. 1600 ISO at 1/2000 of a sec. No editing other than dehazing.

This part of the world is mostly okay. Saw some old friends, shared some laughs, took a long trip, took the scenic way home & saw some beautiful farmland. 🌎💙Oh, & went to a Peanut Butter Festival.

Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s granges were the lifesavers & social outlets around here. Every once in awhile I run across one of them. This is Prosperity Grange In Deckers Point, PA. 📷👍🙏

#abandonedplaces #agrigulture #photoraphy #color #grange Abandoned feed mill in one of the many small towns that I have lived in. This may have been part of the Grange Movement of the late 1800s early 1900s. There was a playbill for a play that my grandmother was in for the local Grange inside.

#abandoned #photography #color @firemind1701b.bsky.social A house formally owned by the town's richest person, a banker. It has been left to anguish & decay in order to save the money to renovate or demolish. Note: the retaining wall replaced by siding. 🤔🤷📷🧔

And thank you for the feedback. It was a fun day out with a cousin. This is a miniature railroad exhibit in the Jefferson County Museum. It worked for about 20 minutes before it blew a fuse or two, thereby closing the museum. Lovely people running the place. ❤️📷🧔The cuz is on the right.
