A good friend was in artillery in Nam in the early years. His hearing is stll ****ed up! I hold you men in the highest esteem. Our Mint has finally come out with commerative medals. His birthday was last week when with presented one to him. It really touched him. We can do enough. No war was disliked more and took it out on our own men.

You all deserve recognition.A good friend lost of his hearing in Nam.I presented a commemerative piece in recognition!

Sort of my 'backyard'...
 

... my view at lunchtime every workday...

Large building on the right is the Department of Agriculture (Utilities building)... a commercial office building on the left... I think you all know the white "pointy" building in the background... and the low builiding in front of it is part of the Treasury buildings...

I love this town!

God bless you working guys. Keep paying into SS, this is me and the dogs AFTER lunch..........:thumbup:

Hey Harry, you are wearing my University clothes!

The second is during April... the same tree is visible in both shots but from a different angle...

Boomer Sooner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed, how did he get to your laundry hamper? :D

Hi John, I like your seasonal shots. Here's the view from my place at different times of day. Regards, Norm

Some really beautiful stuff

Small back yard in a residential area. Due to the population density ground prices are ridiculously high, which in turn creates relatively small building plots.

But sometimes we get some new guests in the back yard.

Sure beats Jersey
 

Apart from the tourists and mowing near the water!

Vlim, nice... a European sparrow hawk/Sperber. I flew one for a very short time in Germany.

The road to the house after Ike, my road is a private road 1 1/2 miles long from the highway to the house, I have sole responsibility for maintainence; there were 100 trees down across it after Ike, some of them bigger than this:

First two are from the deck in winter.

Last one is on the way to Glenwood Springs. NOT photoshopped! Natural colors. A big storm was right behind this.

Really beautiful. Do You give tours?

I really miss the snow. I used to flyfish the yellowstone. I was fishing the river, I looked up across from me was a monster moose, no simple bullwinkle. I stook still. He took a drink and was on its way. That certainly put my meager life into perspective!
