I love taking my camera places and taking photos.
This I found amazing:

I wish my camera was this cool

Sunset over the Golf Course
 |
| I leave you with a photo my husband took yesterday when he went golfing......and no, it isn't smog...the sun was setting - which gave the land a golden hue, and then he edited the photo in picasa- just giving it a touch more gold..... we really do live in a beautiful area of the country.... |

WHAT'S MISSING?
Take a look at these photos of America from 1939 to 1943 when it was recovering from the depression and going into the Second World War.

What's missing? I couldn't see one morbidly obese person in any of the photos. Take a look. I suppose people had to struggle to get by, children played outside instead of on computers, and walking was actually a mode of transportation......you were lucky to build up any fat on the frame.
They are quite amazing. You can see the dirty little feet of barefoot children. Houses that some people lived in. Meagre morsels families shared at meals and gatherings. The countryside as it was..... it is so much more real seeing it in color as opposed to the black and whites that one usually sees from that era.
How times have changed.
Speaking of which...got to get off this computer and head on out....my niece is here from Delaware and we are going to tour downtown Vancouver, Gastown and Chinatown.
Gonna get me some exercise!

"These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color"
