If you saw my post from yesterday, then you know I was stuck in terrible traffic on Friday night. The reason I was trying to get out of the city was because my daughters new puppy Taiga was 8 weeks, vaccinated and ready to come home.
I haven't got her out for any proper photos yet, this was a pee stop on the way home. She isn't at all happy here with her new collar she was trying to scratch it off, hence her odd pose. I was hoping to get a few more photos but a lady came out and started yelling at me to leave, you see, I was apparently on private property! She wasn't even impressed with the cute little puppy.
Anyway, Welcome home Taiga and welcome to the family!
Another shot of the forgotten Notch,MO. post office run by the venerable Uncle Ike,aka Levi Morrill till 1926.He was immortalized in the classic novel "The Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Wright. It is listed on the National register of historic places, but has been abandoned....
"The Shepherd of the Hills" was later made into a popular movie in 1941 starring John Wayne and directed by Harry Hathaway. They would team up again for the classic "True Grit" many years later.
Uncle Carol was a very good shepherd in the region of the South Plain of Hungary. He learned the specifications for the shepherd knowledge from the older generations and he gave this knowledge to younger shepherds too.

This iconic building on the beach at the mouth of the River Rother has been snapped by every photographer and their mother who's have ever been to the coast at Rye! The Red Shed, as its more commonly known is thought to have been constructed in the 1890's and has been in the same family for several generations; its now owned by William Norton who paints it twice a year. Uncle's Shed was used by the shrimp fishermen to store their nets and other kit and now houses a little collection of objects from the days of the shrimp fishing industry; it can be viewed at certain times during the tourist season.
Who knew Uncle Lyle's was such a hot spot? Throbbing base could be heard a block away, the only person on the street was me, but Uncle Lyle's was hopping! :-)
Grass-topped dyke, located east of the Oranje dyke mill. Former entrance to Slijk harbour, codenamed Uncle Beach by the Allied forces during the landing at Vlissingen.
The first British troops to land on Walcheren did so on the fortified seafront at Vlissingen. Less heavily defended beaches outside the town and east of the harbor were rejected, the ground being flooded and the wrong side of the Walcheren Canal. The landing site, codenamed Uncle Beach by the Allied forces, was south-east of the town centre, near the Oranje dyke mill, in the Eastern or Dock harbour.
Around the Oranjemolen the town of Vlissingen is planning to realize a World War II memorial site. At this site information will be provided about Vlissingen and the Walcheren region during World War II, the Battle of the Scheldt and the consequences of World War II for the civilian population.

I may have once
loved you, but years
have passed; wind
and dust fill the world,
obscure the Imperial
House. The pear orchard
our grandfathers planted,
long fallen, has blown
away like mist; man-size
trees by the Emperor's Tomb
seem skeletal in shadow;
winter grasses turn white
on slopes above the river.
The song is done, wind
strings and bird pipes cease:
at the height of joy, sorrow
follows with the moon's rising.
And I, a poor old man,
not knowing where to go,
must harden my feet
on the stone hills,
and trudge onward
toward the fading
light.
--Miguel deO

My Uncle Perlie’s home he built on this farm, ca. 1930s. A farm I spent many summer days on working in his fields as a young boy along with my brother, cousins and many other young boys and girls from the general area. Also many comforting memories from days long ago…but I still don’t care for green beans if I have other options to eat…

How cool are these brightly coloured shades that line the roof of this Vietnamese Bar and Cafe in St.Kilda called Uncle.
They are also the ones featured in my latest Kombi shot: 9/100_Retro VW_Shades of Blue.

Having build Donald and Daisy I just had to build "the richest Duck in the world" as well! That's of course Donald's uncle: Scrooge McDuck.
Scrooge McDuck was created by artist Carl Barks who happens to be one of my most favourite artists. His cartoons are just brilliant!
