Clam-Like Fungi on Old Log

Taken on the Laurel Bluff Trail, Greensboro, NC, also part of the NC Mountains to Sea Trail.

There were bunches of these clam-looking mushrooms up and down a fallen log, even on the drier sunnier side. Kind of cool I thought.

Beaver Pond, Mountains to Sea Trail, Guilford County

This picture was taken along the future path of the North Carolina Mountains to Sea Trail in Guilford County NC. It is amazing how beavers can create whole ecosystems with their pond building!

Train Passing Behind the Depot, from My Fire Escape

I caught this train passing behind The Depot in Greensboro late on a summer afternoon. Trains are cool, such as the 9007.

Today's Picture: Old Friends - a Moment in Time

Arlene, Margaret, Grace, Calvin, and Kathy, in a field in the NC mountains, November 1977. I love this little "moment in time" capture. There were nine of us on that trip - not shown are Sherb, Bill, Van, and myself. The links are to pics taken on that same day in black and white.

Today's Picture: My Aunt Evelyn Dressed for Prom, Mid 1930's

This is my great aunt "Aunt Evelyn," then Evelyn Andrews, in her prom dress, mid 1930's, in LaGrange, GA. Evelyn was the youngest sister of my grandmother "Nanny." Evelyn was about 18 years younger than Nanny. They were in fact half sisters. Nanny's mom died when Nanny was a little girl, and her dad remarried. Nanny had a brother John and a sister Evelyn by her step mother, whom she always called just "mother." Since I first posted this picture on Flickr a few years ago my dear Aunt Evelyn passed away in the summer of 2007 in LaGrange Georgia surrounded by loving family.

For more pictures of my Aunt Evelyn and her siblings and daughters (and wonderful great nephew) check out my Flickr set, "The Andrews Family."

Patsch, A Village in Western Austria

Got nostalgic about Austria today,, so I went back and looked at some pictures that I took in early April 1978. This little village in Western Austria is called Patsch. In our train tour around the continent we had wearied of the rush and decided to spend a little time in one place, and took a bus ride out to this village. Thanks to Flickr friends for helping me identify the place - I had forgotten.

More Europe in 1978 pictures.

Purple Rock - Badlands SD

I took this on a drive out to Vancouver in August 1980 with my dad. We had taken a detour off I-90 so as to go through the Badlands and we came up on a helicopter - an OLD looking helicopter - sitting on the dirt outside a little shack, with a sign advertising rides. He looked at me and I looked at him and he said "what the hell." So we pulled over. We walked into the shack and there was a very, well, worn looking woman, and she called for "Frank" or whatever his name was, and Frank came stumbling out of the back half asleep. "Want a ride," he said. My dad looked at me, and I looked at him, and he said "what the hell" (again). So Frank started up the chopper and off we went. It was way fun! Dad and I had a blast and got some good pictures too.
