Here's a repeat of a capture from 2009...I love bringing it, and the story, back again as it brings back the wonderful memory of the visit with some old friends that I seldom see...and came back with this shot!
"Mr. Tom T. Gobble, it is my pleasure to inform you that a last minute phone call from the Governor of the State of Alabama has granted you a permanent stay of execution..."
LOL...actually this guy was never subject to becoming Thanksgiving Dinner...he and several other turkeys are the beloved pets of my friends Gladys and David and they would never let any harm come to them...they are part of their family! Many thanks to them for giving me the opportunity to have this fine fellow added to my photostream for Thanksgiving! : ) I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them this afternoon!
Sad day for this tree...when you see this oil painting up close you actually want to hug it! The eyes are so sad you can feel the tree asking not to be cut down and saved...
You could be accused of being a witch by any two men. You were put on trial and sentenced to be ducked under the water. If you drowned you were innocent. If you could hold your breath long enough you were a witch and were burned. Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie.

Washington, DC, USA --- 1/6/1953-Washington, DC: Hundreds of demonstrators march before the White House (Jan. 5) asking "clemency" from President Truman for the convicted wartime A-spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. A spokesman for the "committe to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs," said a "vigil line" would continue on a 24-hr basis "Until Pres. Truman grants a stay of execution." The same day a Federal Judge in New York granted a "limited" stay of execution to permit them to apply to Truman for clemency. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
The old gaol once stood here and the lane was known as Gaol Lane. At the end of the Icen Way of today, where it meets South Walks Road, once stood the town gallows. The ghostly sounds of the condemned men's cart can still be heard trundling up the hill on quiet nights.
Executions of prisoners in the Small Fortress began in 1943. A total of 250 to 300 prisoners were shot dead without a court sentence. The biggest execution took place on May 2, 1945. As many as 52 people, mostly members of the Czech resistance groups (e.g. Predvoj or Vanguard) were killed. The gallows were used just once for the hanging of 3 prisoners. A passageway through the embankment leads to the mass graves.

FILE - This July 25, 2014 photo shows bottles of the sedative midazolam at a hospital pharmacy in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma is one of three states where executions have gone awry this year using midazolam as part of a two- or three-drug lethal injection process. Officials in Texas and Missouri, two of the most active death penalty places, are confident in the use of their single drug pentobarbital and show no willingness to slow down. (AP Photo/File)
