This is a TTV image of a wooden bridge in the Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon. This was taken using my 35mm digital camera through the view finder of my antique Argus medium format camera.
Would make a great baby present.
For anyone who likes antiques, collects furniture, or just has classy taste.
Old commercial spools of thread in brass pot.
I started playing the violin when I was 7 years old.. soon going through the grades and at 13 yrs old I was the one and only person to get 21 out of 21 in my scales and arp’s at grade 5 and 139 out of 150 in total. Came 3rd in the country…. I played a duet of Vivaldi’s four Seasons in front of the BBC news reader John Humphries and many guests. When I was 15 all changed… I lost my teacher because he decided to move up north to Manchester, that was the steady down hill road… Eventually gave up after my 16th birthday having only grade 7 and 8 to do… I am now kicking myself…..
There was a sale of this image in November 2008. SEE THE CAROUSEL IMAGE COLLECTION RIDE THE CAROUSEL FOR 25 CENTS! No, that is not a price from yesteryear but the price today for a ride on the Kit Carson County Carousel in Burlington, Colorado which is located just off Interstate 70 on the Colorado/Kansas border. Although there were nearly 4,000 wooden carousels carved in the U.S. between 1885 and 1930, there are fewer than 150 still in existence. The one in Burlington is a magnificent example of the menegerie carousel which includes other animals in addition to horses. There are 46 hand-carved animals mounted on a 45-foot diameter platform. The largest animals are on the outside row, each with intricate carvings ranging from a giraffe with a snake twined around its neck to a armed gnome perched behind the saddle of a zebra! This carousel was manufactured in 1905 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC). Carousels made by PTC are identified by numbers in the order they were made. Therefore, the one in Burlington is identified as the PTC No. 6 which indicates that it was the sixth (of 74) manufactured. The PTC No. 6 is a 3-row ride and the animals do not move up and down. Currently housed in a 12-sided wooden building, this 100+ year old carousel has been completely restored and still has original paint on both the cotton muslin scenery panels and on the animals. This carousel was originally run by the 1902 General Electric Induction Motor. Amazingly this motor has never been rebuilt and still powers the carousel on special occasions at more than 10-12 miles per hour! The average carousel has a speed of 8 mph. The PTC No. 6 was designated a National Historic Site in 1979, then designed a National Historic Landmark in l987, and is the only one in Colorado that you can ride! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

This beautiful rose is growing next to a pioneer log home in Salem, Utah. I really like the contrast of the soft flower petals against the rough wooden wall. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5
The photo is mine and the poem was written by Linmarie!!! OLD WINDOW Back in the day, I once opened and closed / My frame was sturdy and straight / My glass reflected images of landscapes that couldn’t wait Sunny warm days, fragrant breezes flowed in / Cold windy days, shutters were secured / too keep the warmth within Summer nights, curtains would flutter / Winter nights, sounds of a tapping shutter Left alone, I now lean / Glass is gone, no more gleam / Paint has weathered, colors are gone / Think of my years, as you pass along.
