PhotoHunt - Mom

Here are three shots of Mom from the past (scanned from prints). Above is a shot of Mom with Dad taken before they were married. And below is a shot of Mom with me. Dad took the second one and probably the first using the timer on his camera. The last one is the last photo of Mom that I took at Christmas 1999, four months before she died. I still miss you Mom!

Window Views - Doors and windows

No. 212 with transom window

Last Saturday I went to the first Saturday celebration in Frederick, primarily to see the antique cars on display. I also walked around a bit and took some shots of doors and windows to share here. The oval plaque to the right of the door indicates that this house is registered with the Frederick County Landmarks Foundation (as is the Perry Beall Mccleery house shown below).

My World - Riverbanks art

Among the flowers at the Walled garden at the Riverbanks Botanical Gardens are several works of art. In the above view are a statue of otters and several glass flowers (at the left of the otters). In front of the Visitor Center are some blue glass buds (last image).




Geometry - circles and radii

I spotted these colorful circles and radii on an old tractor and manure spreader.
