MEMORIES FROM MY PAST.

On one of the exceptional warm days last week, I wanted to go back to my ole’ hometown, Fleetwood PA, and photograph the old sledding hill/road that is still here to this day. The long sledding hill is on Popular Street in Fleetwood. The weather temp. was up close to 60 deg, and nice &

LOOKS GOOD?

Back in the year 1966 while I was serving in the US Navy, my Destroyer made a Port of Call to Subic Bay in the Philippine Islands. Now, keep in mind this is the very 1st time I have ever been here. I had no idea what this was or what was there. When Liberty

With the cold weather of Winter here there is not much for me to do outside because I’m not much of a cold-weather person. So with that in mind, I find something to do inside that keeps me interested. One of them I found out about is doing Diamond Dots. It’s very close to doing

BIKING THE TRAILS

Over the passing years, riding the many, many bicycle trails has become a favorite pastime for many of us that want to get some exercise & enjoy nature at the same time. I’m just one of them. Around my area, and not to mention, in almost every state there are so many bike trails you

DELIVERING THE PAPER

Hi there, fellow readers. Hope all of you are doing well & in good spirits. For this post, I had to reach way back into my minds eye & memory. It comes from the early 60’s when I was a teenager around 13 yrs. old. It was a good time for me back then. I
