One of the downsides of moving to a new city is that you don't find out about things until you see them on the news when they're over. As happened here - in Corpus Christi various civic organizations collect sponsorships of flags to line all the bayside parks for Veteran's Day, and provide the labor of putting them out during the week surrounding Nov 11. So this is a sample, one day late. It is an impressive sight, with flags lining the street and jogging path for several miles toward downtown.

Well I think it is an MG , took this back in 2011 but the way it was parked in the countryside setting it looked like it could have been taken back in the days when it was fresh out of the factory . I am not sure of it's year or exact model , but I bet there are some out there that could shed some light !
I have put the same shot converted to mono in the first comment box , cannot make up my mind which works best !!
MG is a British automotive marque, and M.G. Car Company Limited was the British sports car manufacturer that made the marque famous. Best known for its 'midget' open two-seater sports cars, MG also produced saloons and coupés, with engines up to three litres in size. The marque is now owned by Chinese automotive giant SAIC Motor Corporation Limited.
MG cars had their roots in a 1920s sales promotion sideline of Morris Garages, a retail sales and service centre in Oxford belonging to William Morris. The business's manager, Cecil Kimber, modified standard production Morris Oxfords and added MG Super Sports to the plate at the nose of the car. A separate M.G. Car Company Limited was incorporated in July 1930. It remained Morris's personal property until 1 July 1935, when he sold it to his holding company, Morris Motors Limited.
MG underwent many changes in ownership over the years. Morris's Nuffield Organisation merged with Austin to create the British Motor Corporation Limited (BMC) in 1952. Its activities were renamed MG Division of BMC in 1967, and so it was a component of the 1968 merger that created British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC). The MG marque continued to be used by the successors of BLMC: British Leyland, the Rover Group and, by the start of 2000, the MG Rover Group, which entered receivership in 2005. The MG marque along with other assets of MG Rover were purchased by Nanjing Automobile Group (which merged into SAIC in 2007). MG production restarted in 2007 in China. The first all-new MG model in the UK for 16 years, the MG 6, officially launched on 26 June 2011.
My collection is becoming somewhat large I've come to realize Today as I had to take them down to clean the shelf they were previously on. 44 dolls with three on the way I'm becoming slightly overwhelmed haha help?
Up at Coolum on the weekend and there were 3 of these guys going nuts over the swell, this was one of many cracking shots.
Have reduced the file size dramatically to see the results also, so quality is not as good as normal.

Raindrops falling on top of a garden storage box right outside my window during a particularly heavy downpour. I took a number of shots in burst mode and selected a few that had splashes relatively in focus.
These images were all fairly grainy; the downside of using a lens with f/5.6 aperture in very overcast conditions (i.e. poor lighting) and a reasonably fast shutter speed (required for capturing raindrop splashes without much motion blur) - it means the camera had to use a fairly high ISO setting to properly expose each frame. The upside was that I could take the shots through a window so I didn't have to get wet.
I bumped up the contrast a bit and increased the colour saturation a fair amount to produce some images that were - to me - visually pleasing.
……. And who am I to resist the temptation to be me. The only downside was that it was only a small one……. ☹️
I started this yesterday, for Upside Down, but it is also fine for today's theme.

The downside to leaving the house at 4:30 in the morning to go to work? Getting up at 4 in the morning. The upside? Some pretty killer sunrises.

One downside of being in Texas during the Summer is the heat.
Texas is/was experiencing some of the hotest and driest weather in 40 some odd years. I kid not when I say that it felt like someone was blowing a full-body-sized hairdryer on you on 'Turbo' mode the moment you stepped outside.

The Boy's Summer camp was about 10 miles beyond this photo in the distance.

One downside of a skirt this short is that she can get "Basic Instinct" moments very very easily. I dumped about 3 or 4 shots because of that.
There's more coming with this model in this outfit and the scooter, so watch this space.
