Today's quote:
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.

...I wonder is much has change in Transylvania Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so!
DeleteYes it has.
DeleteWonderful images! I wish I had more photos of my grandmother. Take care, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I also wish I had more family photos. There are so many, but then, just so many.
DeleteThese are captivating. Homeschooling! Wow! Snowstorm phone call! And the Iwo Jima Memorial. We watched fireworks in DC one July picnicking on the grounds of that memorial. Long time ago.
ReplyDeleteGood to have that memory of Independence Day picnic!
DeleteTransylvania, Louisiana, eh? That as unexpected, but we have an Athens not too far away, and there was a Sparta near where we used ot live.
ReplyDeleteWe have Transylvania County near us here in the mountains of NC. I've been through Athens GA, where the U of GA is located.
DeleteWhen I was in Michigan there was a Hell and a Paris. My paternal grandfather was from Athens, TN.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever going to Athens TN. Who would want to live in Hell?
DeleteThe snowstorm speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow indeed!
DeleteInteresting photos. I wonder how high that telephone pole was - without the snow? (as it happens, in my post this week my grandmother (in a letter) mentioned telephone wires hanging so low that they caused traffic accidents, even in summer...)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...that's awful. But I guess if something (car?) hit one of the poles, and it leaned just a bit...all the weight of those wires could bring them closer to the ground!
DeleteWonderful photos of talented individuals engaged in varieties of creative work. Well done and nice matches to the prompt!
ReplyDeleteThank you.

ReplyDeleteOK, thank you again!!
DeleteA neat collection. The ladies of Galveston don't look like they are dressed appropriately for an oyster bake. Gloves? And that image of the sculptor with his gigantic work is amazing. He needed some real engineering to cast that in bronze.
