Beauty in the Heartland of the good old USofA
View allAll Photos Tagged USofA
Every now and then just give yourself the joy of getting out and seeing the world - it really is a sumptuous place!!
Never more true than on this hike - top to bottom in one day... My spine still recovering from all its hospital nonsense it was my first real big physical test... made it... just... But the emotion of the beauty and what it meant is with me forever...
Same as the previous upload but I've knocked the spots off it! Thanks McSporran for kindly pointing them out. In my defence I've been whitewashing ceilings for days, all I'm seeing is spots.
Wishing my USofA friends a VERY HAPPY and a BLESSED Thanksgiving and to ALL a HAPPY and a BLESSED Day!
I THANK ALL who bother to take the time to look at my humble stream especially those who care to leave a comment. I am so THANKFUL! I learn something about photography from all of you.
Thanksgiving is NOT just what I am thankful FOR but TO WHOM I am Thankful TO … GOD!

Was going to be 7 panel stitch..haha.. memory card ran out. Last pics of the day....in fact, last picts of the trip.. we left the next morning to go back home to USofA.
Fascinating architecture...leaning buildings? Not sure if that was by design or simply result of foundation movement.
Lovely

Another one from the same bright and crisp morning. The sun and water helped here too, but the feeling captured is very different.

For six word story.
Tangerines are prominent in my experience of Christmas. When we lived in Alberta, Canada, we knew that Christmas was near when wooden boxes of tangerines from Japan arrived in local supermarkets. Every year we bought a box and joyfully started consuming them!
In 1973 we took Amy and Eric out of school and headed for California to spend Christmas with my sister-in-law's family. We left after work on a Friday early in December, taking with us tangerines we hadn't yet consumed. We knew we couldn't take them into Arizona or California and planned on finishing them on the way there. But, whoa! We found out at the Alberta/Montana border that we couldn't even take them into the good ole USofA! So at 10:30 or 11 PM, we woke Amy and Eric, who were already asleep, and went inside and... yes... ate tangerines until we could eat no more! That's a vivid Christmas memory for all four of us!

Not much to say about this one, just trying to find pockets of sun on this otherwise overcast day. Was a big surprise us to however to see a Norfolk Southern unit on BNSF traffic, a long way from home!
The way this works in the USofA is that if a railroad uses another railroads unit for their trains. The engine running hours are recorded and then the railroad who used the power returns the favour by giving out one of their locos for that specific period of time. You could very easily imagine this not being done properly.
