Once upon a time, my grandmother and my grandfather, down at the waterline in Hamburg. These binoculars (Emil Busch, distributed by Georg Hechelmann Nachf., Hamburg) are a hundred years old and belonged to Captain John Henning, my grandfather. No coasters, tugs and freighters anymore. The binoculars rest in my study and, from time to time, they have a look at a garden in an English village.

Life is like a binocular,

zoom in the positive vibes,

zoom out the negative vibes.

I had to stay in today as my new binoculars were arriving, pleased to say that my new lens also arrived, very nice surprise although missed the best day of the week! Well worth it though......

I recently won an auction that included these Zeiss binoculars. I thought I could sell them, at the very least, but knew in the back of my head he would LOVE them. I was right.

This is a pair of 10x25 Nikon binoculars I picked up for a song in a John Lewis store after Christmas a couple of years ago.

The Binoculars Building

The "Binoculars Building" is on Main St. in Venice, CA & it is the Venice Campus (as they call it) of Google. This includes the two adjoining parts of the building on the right and left and the whole thing employs about 500 employees. The architect was Frank Gehry & the "Giant Binoculars" were designed by artists: Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen. It was opened as Google in 2011. You can walk or drive between the binocular lenses to enter the building.

These old WWII Binoculars were found hidden in an old desk.

I have wondered just what these old glasses may have seen over the years.

Macro focus looking through the binoculars.

I very seldom take my phone, often forget my wallet, but if I am driving I do remember to take keys. The majority of the time the first thing I take are my binoculars because you never know what bird you might see.
