Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Bubblemania.......
I purchased a couple sets of these bubble lights a few years ago. I vaguely remember them from older days as we had one strand of them when I was a kid and the thin material wrapped around the wires made them very dangerous. I always share the story of seeing these on a tree at the country school near our farm home that dad and mom rented. My three older brothers attended there and we went for a Christmas party and I suppose a program. I wasn't very old, maybe going on 4 years old, and to keep that memory seems strange but I did.
I think I can pull down only two memories from the school even though our school bus passed buy it everyday when I was older and attending the town school. The other memory is of sitting on a runner board of a car and running up and down in the ditch. I do remember that they had something inside the glass vacuum tubes of filled with something like little rocks which would cause the lights to have a pinging sound as the water bubbled. Someday I hope to find more sets on sale at retail again. I have not seen them for sale for a long time. I have seen the ancient strands for sale on the internet.

Lonely Bloom…
The one last tulip to bloom is this on Rembrandt variety. Why this one was planted in another location it is hard to say.

Teddy's legs are a little short for this big wheel but he still likes sitting on it. These shots were buried in my files and this one...

Iowa wild rose is the state flower. I keep finding evidence of our hard freeze on different plants as they mature. The freeze messed up...
