Classic Cameras

2008-08-19T12:31:55Z

These are a few of my over 50 classic film cameras. Unless you were old enough to vote in the early 1980's, you may not remember some of these. If there is any interest in these classics, I will post others after I unpack them. One day I plan to have a small photographic "museum" if I can find the proper display cases and find the room. If anyone else has some old classics, I'm sure that some of us old timers would enjoy seeing them. Note....most of this data was obtained from the internet, so I can't guarantee that it is 100% accurate.

"Trike" for the retirement crowd

2008-07-18T11:16:43Z

I noticed this "trike" while my wife and I were walking down town with our grandaughter. I'm not a biker, but I do admire any thing automotive (cars, trucks or bikes), especially when it shows quality work and/or paint jobs.

The museum is relatively small, but the grounds have many interesting sights. Several buildings and houses have been moved in from various parts of the South. I only had time to photograph some of them on this trip.

Independence Day 2008

2008-07-08T10:34:14Z

Our kids came over for Independence Day and they did the grilling and cooking,what a switch !! This was the first time in the swimming pool for our 15 month old grand daughter, Lakelyn. It was a little scary at first, but then it became fun.

Catalpa or Catawba tree ?

2008-06-27T17:52:02Z

40-45 year old Catalpa tree in my Father-in-law's front yard. The scientific name is due to a translation error by the describing botanist from CATAWBA, a Catawba Native American name for the tree. The leaves are eaten by the caterpillars of theSphinx moth. These "catawba worms" are excellent live fish bait. And yes, we call them CATAWBA trees in the South.

Bored at work again.

This fly came strolling across my desk one night. He was not in a hurry to move on, so I got my camera ready and shot by normal office lighting. I call him a horse fly, but then I am not an entomologist.
