Let’s see some random pictures.
I just took these a few minutes ago. I think they came out quite well. Nature can be quite beautiful!

asheland · July 27, 2018 11:36AM

Here are some fairly rare ribbons from the Portsmouth Ohio "Kum Korn Karnival", which only lasted a couple of years in the early 1900's for probably obvious reasons. The intent was pure, but the naming of it was unfortunate to say the least.

I found these at a gun show for cheap and still have them...why, I'm not sure.

That critter looks a lot smarter than the grey squirrels where I live.
Looks like he is flexing his biceps

This is either "wood grain" toning, or a coin grading flow chart -- I don't remember which.

Me with Nick Ut. He took the famous Vietnam War photo Napalm Girl. I have a thing about meeting famous photographers and getting them to take a photograph of me!

Pair of fawns in a dangerous blind curve last weekend. All is well, as they bound off with their parents shortly after the pic was taken thru our windshield.

Famous Americans Series – Artists

First City: New York, New York
Quantity Issued: 55,313,230
Printed by: Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Printing Method: Rotary Press

U.S. #886 features Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the son of a shoemaker who went on to become a renowned sculptor. His life-size works decorate many American cities. He’s still regarded as America’s greatest sculptor. Saint-Gaudens also designed coins for the U.S. Mint. He and his brother Louis established the “Cornish Art Colony,” a retreat for artists in Cornish, New Hampshire.

U.S. #1734
1978 13¢ Indian Head Penny

Issue Date: January 11, 1978
City: Kansas City, MO
Printed By: Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Printing Method: Engraved
Perforations: 11
Color: Brown and blue green

To lower production costs and increase output, the U.S. Postal Service experimented with this "midget" stamp. The smaller image area, which was about 1/3 smaller than usual, provided for 150 stamps per pane instead of the usual 100. This unique issue pictures the 1877 Indian Head Penny, a prized collector coin.

The cast of Star Trek T.O.G. came to Palmdale, CA. in September 1976 to watch the rollout of the very first space shuttle, which, because of lobbying by Trekkies, ended up being called the ENTERPRISE.

The wife and I were sitting down to breakfast in New Orleans about a year and a half ago at a very famous breakfast restaurant. We looked out the window to see a little "free speech" going on at the courthouse across the street.
