Bass & Pro
2nd Flickr Group-52 Weeks: The 2012 Edition
Topic:Monochrome
This weeks topic was Monochrome or black and white. So I adjusted my camera to monochrome and set out to take some pictures. Jim and I headed down to the East Peoria river front so I could capture the bridge, then over to the new Bass and Pro store. That was the first time I had ever been in there, so much to look at!! But the fish tank, way cool! and the little boy and his excitement, even cooler!!
Here fishy, fishy...
Here's the bridge

Peace and Plenty
Topic: Something Old
My mom stitched this sampler back in 1964. She made it for her Grandmother, (my Great Grandmother or Granny as we called her)It hung in Granny's kitchen for many, many moons and now it hangs in mine.
When I think of Granny, the first two things that come to mind are slippers and Red Hots.
We could always count on Granny for new pair of knitted slippers for Christmas. They were amazing and everyone in the family wore them. I remember that Grandfather had a pair (or two,I'm sure) that had duct tape on the bottom, presumably to cover a hole or two. That's what we did, we wore 'em til we wore 'em out! I still have a few odd ones around the house that she made, makes me wish I would've taken better care of things like that.
And then there's the Red Hots. Granny had a small cart in her small kitchen that had a jar on it full of Red Hots. I can remember reaching in getting a handful or two. Oh sweet memories!

Peaceful Night
Topic:Night Photography
Down at Pekin's Riverfront on a beautiful night.
Of course the sun had to go down before I could get to those flags.
If only those trees would move over, for just a minute, so I can get a clearer shot of that sun going down! :)
