Red on Blue

Red on blue. What beautiful colors. The sun was out and just nicking the Cardinal in the oak tree. I looked at this and snapped the picture. When I opened it in the computer a big smile crossed my face because I knew this was a winner. So here it is, Red on Blue, for your enjoyment.

Using inhalers 4 times a day

No fun to be unable to get your breath and have to take a lot of medicine just to keep breathing. But I do it even at 75 years of age. And to think, the US Army got me hooked by giving me free cigarettes in my C-rations each day. Duh.

Colorful Japanese landscape in 1954

On a trip from Yokohama back to Sendai I had my trusty Canon film camera and we began passing some nice farms as we got closer to Sendai, Japan where I was stationed. I snapped this picture as the steam train went chugging past the cluster of houses in this rural community. When looking at it there is just enough movement to make it look more like a watercolor painting than a photograph. What do you think?
