Today, I am a photographer! One tripod foot was in the water while I shot this photo. It was raining and thunder was all around me. I was bound and determined to use my cable release today even if I died trying. I am very pleased to share this picture with my fellow Bubblers.
Slightly different view from Carson River. Still risking life and limb in thunder storm.
This lovely rose was growing in “Veale Gardens”, Adelaide SA.

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. The PTC No. 6 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 is a Carson red swastika swirl on buff. This water bottle was plowed up by the farmer who owned the farm and later the rain washed the dirt away and I found it as I walked the site of the Indian village looking for arrow heads. It is a late Mississippian period pot from somewhere around 1500 to 1600 AD. The red paint is made from Iron oxide and animal fat. The design swirls around the pot and meets on three sides, not an easy design to create this well. Not bad for something buried for over 500 years. American Indian archeology has been divided into basically four time periods by archeologists – The Paleo Period – Prehistoric to 20,000 years BC – Archaic Period – 20,000 to 10,000 years BC – Woodland Period 10,000 BC to 1000 AD and the Mississippian Period – 1000 AD to 1600 AD The Paleo period was primarily found in the American southwest because of the cold that existed over much of the north part of America at that time. The later Paleo and other periods spread across the entire continent. The woodland period was when the Indians started growing crops and staying in one location instead of traveling and hunting all the time. Their stone work was of a much poorer quality but they started making pottery from clay. They tempered their pottery with sand so it didn’t last like the later period pottery did. During the Mississippian period the American Indians began to come together into tribes from their former existence as extended family groups.
Lord Carson, Stormont Estate, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. In 1877 Carson was called to the Irish Bar at King’s Inns. He gained a reputation for fearsome advocacy and supreme legal ability and became regarded as a brilliant barrister, one of the leading ones in Ireland at the time. He was also an acknowledged master of the appeal to the jury by his legal wit and oratory. He was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1889. In 1895 he was engaged by the Marquess of Queensberry to lead his defence against Oscar Wilde’s libel action. This meant his job was in effect to prosecute Wilde, who had been his contemporary and rival at Trinity College. When Wilde heard of his appointment, he remarked “No doubt he will pursue his case with all the added bitterness of an old friend”. Carson’s cross-examination of Wilde is a supreme example of a battle of wits. Carson was also the victorious counsel in the 1910 Archer-Shee Case, on which Terence Rattigan based his play The Winslow Boy. He was the model for the barrister Sir Robert Morton in the play. Carson retired in October 1929. In July 1932, he had witnessed the unveiling of a large statue (sculptored by L S Merrifield) of himself in front of Parliament Buildings at Stormont. The statue was unveiled by Lord Craigavon in the presence of more than 40,000 people. The statue was cast in bronze and placed upon a plinth. The inscription on the base read “By the loyalists of Ulster as an expression of their love and admiration for its subject”. This was the final time he visited Belfast.

Taken 1-20-09. / We took army vehicles here. This base is huge, a whole city in it’s self. As you can imagine they do not like anyone taking pictures inside the base. This was taken from the window of the rolling tripod. In the early 60’s my Dad was drafted and was stationed here before going over seas. My sister was born here in 1963, and has never seen how beautiful it is. A big THANK YOU to all the men and women who live and serve here!!!!
Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains of the United States. It is located along the border between California and Nevada, west of Carson City, Nevada. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America. Its depth is 1,645 ft (501 m) making it America’s second-deepest, (Crater Lake, in Oregon, being the deepest at 1945 feet (594 m) deep). The lake was formed about 2 million years ago and is a part of the Lake Tahoe Basin with the modern Lake being shaped during the Ice Ages. The lake is known for the clarity of its water and the panorama of surrounding mountains on all sides. The area surrounding the lake is also referred to as Lake Tahoe, or simply Tahoe.

The Carson River flows through Hope Valley on it’s way down through Carson and Eagle Valleys ending up in Lake Lahontan where it is dispensed for irrigation purposes in the Fallon area of Nevada. Notice the clouds settling over the mountain in the background that was producing a dusting of snow..Lynn
“If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.” / Rachel Carson Caught a glimpse of this plant from about 100 yards and had to get a shot of it, as it looked like a heart – as is ;) Sowing the seeds of Love

These clouds over the Carson valley in Nevada looked almost like flying saucers flying in oer the mountains.
