As time passes, we change. What was once a given will no longer be so in the future. Only the remembrance remains in our thoughts.
Remembering the ‘Twerp’
On 26 December 1947, a small, nondescript wooden-hulled motor vessel set off from Hobart, bound for Antarctica. Its silhouette resembled that of an ageing offshore fishing craft, but its weather deck was packed from stem to stern with supplies and equipment – including a single-engine Vought-Sikorsky Kingfisher floatplane. At the helm was Commander Karl E Oom, an officer in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). He was supported by five naval officers, 22 ratings, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot and air fitter mechanic, and an Australian Department of Information photographer. The complement was rounded out by four civilian scientists who were responsible for conducting a series of experiments, and observing meteorological and other natural phenomena in the Antarctic.
Their voyage would be the first to operate under the banner of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE), a series of post-war initiatives to establish Australian scientific research stations in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic territories of Heard Island and Macquarie Island. ANARE laid the foundation for the establishment of the Australian Antarctic Division, and in later years Australia’s polar research ships could trace their lineage back to the little timber craft then making its way towards the world’s southernmost continent: HMAS Wyatt Earp.

Mikey just turned 18 and I took him to the DMV today for his road test. Remember when you got your license to freedom?
Does anyone besides myself remember relatives using these in the late 40's and early 50? Seems they are 40ish items. Seen at the Stancil Oil Co. Country Store.

I made a consious effort to not watch the news or any of the special broadcasts about that terrible day.
However I did want to devote some part of my day to remember.
We were the only ones here. It was quiet and peaceful.

Wednesday this week (26th) would have been our 13th anniversary. Here she is in 2015, in the days before she ruptured her cruciate ligament, when she was still allowed up on her perch at the window. My lovely girl.
It was a sad day when the Soo 60's hit the storage line back in 2009. Rumors said they were never to return, but thankfully that rumor stayed a rumor. In March of 2010 I successfully snagged my first well lit photos of a reactivated pair with my new D3000. Soo 6025 and 6052 race east down the main through Minnesota City, with a hogger that seems about as happy with the 60's return as I was! Soo 6025 was one of the first to be rebuilt and repainted into CP dress, so I'm sure glad I was able to sang some shots while it was still a Soo.
A little something to remember the summer from.

Be silent here, for those who have passed
Are resting in their solemn peace.
This elderly gentleman came dressed in period clothing to watch a vintage football game at Douglas Park in Rock Island, IL today. This field was the site of the first NFL game in 1920.
i liked the shadows at this place.
cf. the "drive through" shot a month or two ago.
Come to the flickr party at the Brickhouse Cafe, starting at 7 p.m. on the 31st, and see a hard copy of this shot, along with a bunch of great pictures from other Bay Area flickr people. For more info see the FotO2plus1 group.
- New face-up -
Do you guys remember this little pukifee icis? I used to own her but I sold her in January 2014 to a really nice friend who fell head over heels for her. The butterfly girl is named Tuva-Li and she's been very well taken care of, but as with loved belongings she's been so loved that her face-up started to crumble. So she sent her to me to redo it ^w^
I actually miss having an icis, she and a white skin bonnie is next on my wishlist!
