BINGO
Caught this lady when she was very engrossed in her Bingo cards. There is no doubt she looks forward to Bingo night. I am sure it makes her VERY Happy. It made me Happy recording this image of her!
Happy Child
Caught this Happy youngster waving during a parade along with his mother. The red dripping on his chin might attest that he also had a sweet treat while watching the parade.
One Happy Irishman
I realize one should not stereotype people today for fear of offending someone, however my neighbor is very proud to be Irish and lets the world know it on St. Patrick’s Day. In fact he made me an honorary “Irishman” for the day! He is a VERY Happy man wearing the green…..and the Guinness is

Learning

Drummer
Caught this drummer at a Veterans Program. His pristine white gloves that held the drum sticks spoke of the Gratitude he held for those that were being honored.
Rusting Away
Old rusting exhaust pipes extend above a tugboat engine. They have gone from bright shiny metal to this deteriorated condition after many years of faithful service. To me there is a beauty with them contrasted against the blue sky.
COPPER
We had company over the weekend and Copper came with them. Copper was retrieved from the Animal Welfare Group. He is a real Beauty and brings much Happiness to his family. He willingly posed for his “Portrait”.
Imperfections

Nash joined Hudson and AMC Motors to survive but eventually all three nameplates could not survive in the competitive
ROLLI
Just love handling my old film cameras. The craftsmanship that went into them was superb. Just to rehear the precise sound of the shutter at various speed settings is music to my ears! Today they sit on a special shelf, retired from years of duty, only to be taken down for a few moments of
