Coca~cola and it’s many forms

Most New England states still have redemption centers for turning in bottles & cans for a nickel. Vermont still does. That is where I am from. A very small town, Montpelier. It’s the state’s capital. My father was the towns the eye doctor. When I would walk beside my father, 90% of the people we…

looks like something out of an old Western

Instead of siding, it should be canvas on a covered wagon 1800 something. But it is in Alabama 2013.

Southern Sycamore reflected in the pond water

Peace, love & Blue

I saw the three symbols together somewhere in my wanderings. & thought it would be perfect for Blue. I blasted him so that the words would stand out a bit. Because he is so overexposed looking, he is almost ghost like. I know that when he left us, he loved us all.
