Mr. Independence…

 

Some days, it’s just fun to play with Picasa and my photos…no story here other than I’m pretty proud of my son!!!

The Summer of ‘69..

The summer of ‘69 brought a lot of history to our country. The first walk on the moon and Woodstock are two of the most notable events. The JFKennedy & Barstow Class of 1969 entered the world among psychedelic drugs, the height of space exploration and bohemian dress.

This is Astronaut “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. posing for a photograph taken by Astronaut Neil Armstrong.

This photo is taken from USA Today and is a NASA shot via AP. The photo was made on July 20, 1969.

Another historical event that took place on August 15-18, 1969 was a music festival, billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music". The name Woodstock might be a little more familiar. Thirty two acts performed at the three-day festival and included Blood, Sweat and Tears, Three Dog Night, the 5th Dimension, Rare Earth, the Grass Roots, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Canned Heat.

Some Blooms for Fertilizer Friday…

Nothing from my yard this week but I do have some photos of some “inside” plants from the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas…

 

Look Tootsie, their floors were “blooming”!!!

 

Barstow-JFK, Barstow, California – Class of 1969 Reunion

 

The class of 1969 of Barstow, California met this past weekend for their fortieth reunion. My husband is a member of that class and we attended their reunion at the Aquarius in Laughlin, Nevada. I don’t think they’ve actually achieved adulthood according to my photos!!!

 

 

They sure have “partying” down to a fine art!!!

Laughlin, Nevada sets on the Colorado River and the landscape is beautiful…

Is This My Yard???

 

Tootsie, sorry, here I go again, bending your rules again…Since my allergies will not allow me in my own yard, I’m coming to you from Las Vegas…Now most people would go downtown to see the lights and casinos, not me, I had to find something for Fertilizer Friday…so here we go…straight from Red Rock Canyon…

We arrived here yesterday (Wednesday) and this morning I got up to relief from my allergies, I haven’t had a sneezing fit all day today…Cross your fingers for me!!! Hopefully I will stop having allergy fits for a few days.

I wish I could tell all of you what all of these plants are, but I can’t…so let’s just enjoy some photos, because it has been a beautiful day…

See in the foreground, plants…I’m pretty sure they’ve never been fertilized unless a stray burro mmmmmm walked by…

Yep, right over there to the right of center…I see greenery…sorta brownish greenery, but it’s definitely there…

This is definitely a tree!!! or a bush??? But Tootsie, its green!!!

Trees, not many, but they certainly are there…

I couldn’t resist a little sunflare fun here!!! (It sure doesn’t take much to entertain me.)

Yea Fertilizer Friday…an opportunity to show my vacation photos…

A group of energetic young hikers…as opposed to old, fat, lazy photographers…

The hikers were also “climbers”… eeks!!!

Look, Tootsie, I even found some blooms….at least I think they’re blooms…

Thanks Tootsie for hosting Fertilizer Friday (and allowing me to cheat…just a little).
