Dubina, Texas. Saints Cyril and Methodius Church in Dubina, Texas, was established by Czech-Moravian immigrants in 1856. The current structure, built between 1909 and 1911 after previous churches were destroyed by a hurricane and fire, features vibrant interior paintings and reflects the community's deep faith and cultural heritage.
I saw this rascal crawling across the road where I am working. I ran to the pickup grabbed my camera, swapped lenses and ran back to where he was at andcouldn’t find him. I had to step out into the clean ditch because I was afraid I was about to step on him. I looked into the directions as thought he had traveled and found him land there. With my 100 to 400 lens I was able to get these shots. He never got excited, never started buzzing, but he tested the air while I was in front of him.
when you own a gorgeous Indian motorcycle you have to have a beautiful bag to carry home your trophies....

This very nice looking 1965 Mustang 2 + 2 Fastback was seen at the 2021 Cable Dahmer FireFest Car Show held in Independence Missouri.
An exception 1949 Chevy Pickup that was very nicely resorted and customized that appeared at the 2021 Gardner-Edgerton Car Show held in Gardner Kansas.
A customized 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee that participated in the Cars in the Park Car Show held at Shawnee Mission Park, Shawnee Kansas. This was the best restoration and customization I've seen on almost any car. I was super clean in and out. It looked like it just rolled off the assembly line.
This luxurious beauty was captured at the 2023 Dream Car, Truck, and Cycle car show held in OldShawnee Town in Shawnee Kansas.
Cadillac for 1962 was genuinely a new achievement in automotive excellence. This was one of the most magnificent Cadillacs ever….finely crafted, meticulously refined, and so progressively engineered. The 1962 Cadillac Sedan Deville presented new grace and dignity. The interior was the most luxurious and lavishly appointed in the history of the brand. The Sedan Deville was once again America’s favorite luxury car.
The smoother and quieter V8 engine, finely crafted coachwork, and improved insulation made the 1962 Sedan Deville even more luxurious. In every aspect of motorcar superiority, the 1962 model year presented new masterpieces from the master craftsmen. The 1962 Sedan Deville was a true masterwork of the motoring age, and was another jewel in the crown of the “Standard of the World.” This was a DeVille encore performance….in the continuing saga of “As the Standard of the World Turns.”
Here is nostalgia, the only thing missing is “Ward & June Cleaver.” This was from that era, that illustrious era that spoiled America rotten with cars a city-block long and half a city-block wide. We were “Fantasy Island” where one’s wildest dreams came true….a dollar was worth ALL of its pennies….and Cadillac was a motorcar of distinction.
The 1962 Cadillac was totally American such as: baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Sedan deVille. This goes back to a time when an automobile was purchased for its looks and performance and not how many miles to the gallon nor 0-60 in a nanosecond. America wasn’t into the crotch-rockets of today back then, America was the purveyor of the luxury car….Cadillac was the leader, remember….”The Standard of the World?”
The 1962 model year got the Cadillac “Beauty Treatment” that included crisp new styling. The iconic tail fins were tapered into the architecture for a more elegant, refined, look. The lower fins at the rear or “skegs”, remained from the 1961 re-style. The Sedan Deville received a new roofline with the pillarless four-window hardtop sedan.
For 60 years, Cadillac led the industry with performance, design, and engineering as the “Standard of the World.” From the bold front-end styling to the sweep of the rakish tail fins, it was unmistakably Cadillac. The 1962 Sedan Deville was a perennial favorite among luxury car buyers. The DeVille series was luxury and comfort the entire world admired.

A Lovely restoration job on this Ford from the 1920s
This car is in such pristine condition. WOW!
If I were voting this extremely good looking 1964 Mustang would take Best in Class. It was a sweet ride and great looking inside and out. The rust exterior gleamed in the sunshine and the cream interior and wooden steering wheel complimented the exterior. Well done!! This fine ride was seen at the 2022 Cars in the Park car show in Shawnee Mission Park in Shawnee Kansas.
The original Ford Mustang debuted on April 17, 1964, at the attractive price of $2,368. Dealers were inundated with requests for the sleekly-styled new vehicle. In Garland, Texas, 15 customers thronged to bid on the same Mustang. The winning bidder resorted to sleeping overnight in his new car so that it wouldn’t be sold out from under him before his check could clear.
Ford initially forecasted annual sales of about 100,000 units. On the first day alone, dealers took 22,000 Mustang orders. Shortly after its introduction, the fledgling vehicle’s success was official when it was featured on the racetrack as the pace car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500. During the Mustang’s first 12 months on the market, sales grew to an astounding 417,000. Within two years, sales had catapulted to one million.
When the Mustang was unveiled, the reaction was so positive that there was no doubt it was going to be a success,” recalls Joe Oros, chief designer of Ford’s original pony car – dubbed the 1964½, because it was launched at an unusual halfway point during the year. Gale Halderman, one of the designers on Oros' team, was blown away by the success even though the engineers, test drivers, and prototype builders all had told the design team that they could tell it was a special car.
This 1969 Chevy Camaro was a little piece of gold among all of the vehicles that participated in the 2021 Basehor-Linwood High School Car Show held in Basehor Kansas.
With all the things going wrong at G.M. you think that they would display there new Trucks better than putting them on a TOW TRUCK!!!
These glamorous beads are genuine Mardi Gras beads that have come to me all the way from New Orleans. A gift to me from a very dear friend in Alabama who bought a cottage in New Orleans just to enjoy Mardi Gras, she tells me that these beads are very special. Parade riders throw these necklaces from their floats to people into the crowds that line the seven mile route. However you usually have to know someone to be thrown these, as parade riders pay for everything that they throw which makes it an expensive night. They wouldn’t throw these to just anyone. I am very grateful to have been gifted these very special beads.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “connections/connected” was chosen by David, DaveSPN.
I chose these beads because of course they are connected together, but also, as red stilletto pointed out to me, these represent a connection between two Flickr friends who live worlds and hemispheres away from one another. I really liked that idea, so here they are: bright and fun filled for you to enjoy!
