From up here you can almost see Common Sense

 

I don't want to let this Slide Blog degenerate into a Pro- vs Anti- Trump argument, but...  The Zelensky in the White House farce.  FFS.   I "know" that Putin has incriminating info/pictures/videos of Donny Boy, but does DJT need to make it so obvious that he's shilling for Russia?

Sheesh.

This slide, on the other hand, is labelled  "8-11to16 1963 Palouse Valley from Steptoe Butte near Colefax, Wash."

A Patchwork Quilt of Fields


For once the cliche really does live up to the reality.

And for once, the photographer has helped future generations with a description. (How many of your digital slides will be so helpful?)

"8-11to16 1963 - Palouse Valley from Steptoe Butte near Colefax, Washington."

Bonus - 200 years since the UK annexed the Tristan da Cunha archipelago.

The Arboretum, Seattle


I was looking and doing some minor dust speck removal, but accidentally used the superstrength dirt removal tool. Whoa !

Actually...I quite liked the impressionist effect, so have both.

Damn!


In solidarity with the overpaid southern jessies of England who are suffering some mild flooding (that'll get some complaints :-)  ) here's a suitably watery slide.

I think it's of the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state, but I'm no expert on early 20th Century concrete gravity dams.

Sunday Best

Hallelujah.  There's info written on this one,

"1954 Cousin Eddie, Bertha and Betty Szambelan in Chehalis, Easter Sunday!"
That's an unusual surname...  Searching suggest this may be Eddie and Bertha .

(Maybe I should have kept this for Easter Sunday... damn.)

1951 Aug - Ivalee Jones (Seattle) - Flying U


(That's what's written on the slide)  Heavens? Is that really how Seattle looked in 1951?

Boy, it really was a rural back-water.

Bonus : Kitten surprised by lizards

Daffodils

Officially, Spring is here. Easter is a day away.

But it's still bl***y cold here in Derby.

Maybe these daffs will cheer me up.

To Bogachiel Peak

As Derby is paralysed by a couple of inches of snow, lets remind ourselves of warmer times. September 1951  on the High Divide Trail. Fancy a hike?
