ABC of Midland Red Buses and Coaches, 2nd edition dated July 1949.
By this time Ian Allan were already well known for their railway spotters abcs and making their name on the road transport field too.
I clearly remember buying this particular example (from Daltons newsagents, in Soho Road, Handsworth) and, as can be seen, it has been well used since!
To look through it now (along with many others I still have) is a real memory trip with the then fleet list running from 857 (HA3779, a 35 seater QL type) to 3576 (MHA76, a 56 seater GD6 type) ... if only I could see either of them again!
As a little kid in well worn jeans and cowboy boots, I played on these boulders and many others on our property reliving the adventures I constantly read about in my various tree houses scattered about the 6 acres. When my parents decided to move here full time while I was in high school, these same rocks were where I perched looking for any teen with a car to drive down our dead end road and save me from certain death of boredom! Once I could legally drive the El Camino, even if it was just to the local dump, I was free! Such funny memories. Now I'm selling the property for estate purposes and all those memories keep flooding up. Damn I hated planting all the bulbs every fall but look how nice it turned out!
I'm going to miss the old prison!

Here is my entry for the Memory Box Fall Challenge. The Memory Box Products I used are:
D1123 - Oak Leaf and Acorn
B1053 - Just A Note
Memory Box Kraft A2 size cards
Memory Box Tinsel 6x6 paper collection
I love this Oak Leaf stamp and decide to make the acorn solid gold leaf. It is subtle but pretty in person. I also took Brilliance Inks Cosmic Copper and Galaxy Gold and sponged the edges with these inks. I have included another photo if you want to see the shimmer better - just go to the previous photo.
To participate in this challenge and to look at future challenges look at the Memory Box Blog here.
I have also realized that I followed the sketch from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge. This is only my second time getting to participate in there challenge and this time I did not use any Sweet and Sassy stamps...sorry to say. To participate in this challenge look at the The Sweet Stop Blog here.
Thanks for looking!
While Mrs Mail and I were cruising the grounds of our cultural precinct, we passed a statue that I have shot before, but from the front.
Mrs Mail suggested I shoot from the rear. Honestly, without a word of a lie. I was encouraged to do this shot.
The interesting thing about it is, that immediately I saw it, I remembered that most famous of tennis shots that apparently titillated millions of red blooded tennis players around the world plus me in 1976 when the magazine Athena posted the image.
This poor girl was looking for her tennis balls, and they had somehow slipped out.
Just in case you aren't male, and are younger than 33, there is a downloaded copy of the shot below, which just might be copyrighted.
For the Photshop group and the 7DOS group.
The buildings in the background were quite distracting, so the easiest solution was to create a duplicate of the background shot into a new layer, then blur it strongly, and using a soft edged eraser, put a hole in the blurred layer to reveal just the statue. Statues like these that are very monotone also do not present well in a photo, so I increased the saturation on the background layer to make it stand out more.

Very interesting story behind this roll. I didn't realize that it had already been used about 10 years ago when I used it, and when I got it developed, I realized that I had accidentally shot over some childhood memories. This is one of my favorite shots that came out really cool. The original shot was my dog Millie standing in our old backyard, but over it I shot a bunch of snow-capped mountains in my area. It looks like she's standing on them!
Bonnie's neighbor hood friend from childhood sent this along today. Miniature golf?

Memories are like a window that connect you to the past!
You can only see them, but you can't touch ...!
This old chap came to The Library to have "one last look" at the work he donated some 30 years ago. 90 years old, and now living in the North of England, he produced a 30 volume study of the Ffestiniog Railway. Full of his own photographs, maps and beautiful hand written text.
Every now and then he would leave a page open, "...There she is.." he would mutter, and reach out to touch a photograph in which his wife, recently deceased, appears.
Libraries and archives hold more than just dusty old books.

MEMORIES LIKE BUTTERFLIES
Your face is but a wishful thought
Though the tears are real with salty bite
As a yearning , not relinquishing aught
To soothe my soul, and smile as might
A fathers love so all consuming
Passion, pride within your heart so strong
Blissful ignorance the child, as fate was looming
Not comprehending your demise so wrong
The good are taken, or so it seems to me
Before their time by fate and circumstance
If wishes granted, what then I wonder would mine be?
Once more the child again with you, per chance
Protected by your arms around me
Games of fun and laughter played
In those childlike eyes did you see
What you meant to me, portrayed?
Memories as butterflies
Grown the boy, myself a man
But still the tears no matter how I try
To thwart the pain as best I can
Beating hearts and pulsing veins
Treasured moments in this, my journey
The legacy of your love remains
And your shining light still pulses through me

關於微醺記憶
About Memories.
不同時空拍下的照片，
產生了微妙的關連。
就像剪輯過的記憶可以產生新的故事。
生活中常有些畫面似曾相似，
因為記憶存在腦海裡，
腦部會將記憶自動串連，
經由拍攝的動作，
不自覺得蹦到你面前，無法掩飾。
這裡紀錄著攝影、記憶與時間微妙的三角關係。
希望你們喜歡。
使用方式：
單一地隨意亂翻看，
或是
連續地順著篇幅看，
都能有不同的故事想像。
