Cute kids. The bear looks soft enough to snuggle with, but I guess that would not be a good idea.

The elephant pic made me smile. That's a big foot!

Not a good idea at all! bears look cute for self serving reasons.

It will be just a matter of time before the tabloids announce that you have a picture of "Big Foot"

I saw it happen on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2015. My friend, Ricky and I were driving down the road and saw the wheel rolling down the road, in front of us. Then we noticed the retired military vehicle up ahead and assumed it had fallen out of the back since the truck didn't appear to be missing any wheels. We watched the wheel veer to the left and run smack dab into the light pole. A second or two later, the entire light pole fell across the road, in front of us.
Patty this happened to my sister years ago except instead of a light pole she was in a VW rabbit.
The Rabbit didn't fair any better than that light pole did.

I hope your sister was okay! Most of the light poles are metal, around here. That was a fancy one.

This Ocala, FL garage was est. in 1956 by Big Daddy Don Garlits! On our trip to visit Dean, Legal Bill purchased Big Daddy's thermos off the shelf at the garage sale - from Big Daddy himself.










Some of us also bought Garlits ball caps there and had them officially autographed.

Grabbed from FB so resolution is lacking, but one of my Zumba ladies just bought a copy (11 x 14) of this pic. She wants to hang it in a place she has in Maine. I took the photo in Maine from a boat tour to see the light house in York. The lobster boat in the fog looked kind of cool. I added a bit of vignette to it. I thought the pic was OK, I was concerned about the vignette, didn't want it to be too heavy, but she liked it and I guess that's what matters.

I'm happy if someone wants to display one of my pics. I let the woman order it and pay for it herself from the online printing company. She still wanted to give me $50.00. I told her half that would be fine, and only if she is pleased with the photo.

^Nice Photo, Lainey. The fog creates a bit of serenity to the boat’s image and the vignette draws the viewers focus inwards.
