Little Pocohontas

 

No.

In case you're wondering, the black boarder around this image is not an In Memorium / recently deceased indicator. I have no idea if this little cutie is still around, or gone off to the happy hunting grounds.

Instead, it's a recognition that this image was a Half Frame 35mm slide. A nice idea, and I did have a Olympus Pen-EE. I wonder what happened to that....

Bonus - I was going to describe this image differently, but I was slightly surprised to learn that squaw can be an offensive term. To some folk. Perhaps. Perhaps incorrectly.

Bonus 2 - Henry de Bohun, a brave knight who thought he could kill Robert the Bruce on the open field because the King of Scots was armed only with an axe. Robert regretted the incident because he broke his favorite axe splitting Henry's head.

At The Qualla Boundary

You've probably guess that this blog is based in Britain, so a lot of the American Slides are only recognised through the filter of popular culture. While I do think of myself as a widely read bloke, I had never heard of the Qualla Boundary before.

And yet, here's a slide of it, and I am now educated via Wikipedia.

Bonus 1 - Strangely, Google seemed to conflate Qualla with Koala. Synchronicity.  I'd just been reading about the Koala's evil cousin - The Drop Bear.

Bonus 2 - Not a hoax.  Trump suggests 'nuking hurricanes' to stop them hitting America

"Kissing The Totem Pole"

I have a horrible feeling that "Kissing The Totem Pole" will turn out to be a euphemism for something Not Suitable For Kids, but that's what Moira is doing here.

Bonus points is you can identify the totem style.

Bonus - My wife told me that "sex is better on holiday"
Not the best postcard I've ever received.

Bonus 2 -   Elasmotherium

Weekdays - Credit Account Analyst

But at weekends, Ed Moore becomes Big Chief Crazy Tomahawk, leader of the Baltimore Seminoles.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Bonus - A Tower of Barrels

New Year's Day Parade

Just got the slides back from Tuesday. The Chellaston Village committee had decided to have a New Year's Day Parade, and had transformed the hole of Chellaston to  look like 1950's Canada. This float, by Curry Art, had clearly misunderstood the concept of Indian and Turkey. ;-)

Bonus - Not Cthulhu, it's St. Joseph Lighthouse, Michigan
