Photo sharing


Advertising GRAPHITE

Joining Flickr just over a month ago has opened an entire new world for me! I enjoy seeing the world through photos taken by all kinds of amateur and professional photographers.
This photo of a Pepsi advertisement from, I guess the 50's, was taken by Fernando Innecchi in Prague. The well dressed, obviously relaxed women casually enjoying her Pepsi as she grocery shops cracks me up!. She even has white gloves! The added touch of graffiti on the bottom brings a hint of reality. To see more Pepsi ads, go to

Thanksgiving

 

I took this photo on a warm day last spring!  This squirrel was relaxing, enjoying the warmth of the sun as much as I was.
With the temperature in the 50 degree range today, probably similar to when I shot the above photo, the scene in the woods is totally different. No time for relaxation, animals are very busy collecting food and making their homes a warm comfortable place before winter.
Providing shelter and collecting enough food to survive the long winter is just as important for us.
I am very thankful for the comfort of shelter and food that I have been fortunate to have.
I wish everyone could have such fortune.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Free range chickens!



Three in the beans!  My brother in law bought a few chickens to amuse the grand children and supply fresh eggs. Wandering free during the day this trio finds plenty of good bugs in the soy bean field.
