Today is ABC Wednesday and the letter is " D ".
" D " is for Digital Difficulities.
I was trying to take some Detailed photographs as we were Driving over hill and Dale the other Day.
I couldn't figure out why my photos looked Different.
I Discovered my Dial had been bumped and my pictures were Definitely blown out.

SACRAMENTO FREE MUSEUM DAY

One of the 39 military and civilian aircraft and aerospace exhibits we saw at the Aerospace Museum of California.



It was interesting and fun to get up close to some wonderful planes from the past.



We also visited the Heidrick Ag History Center. I'll be posting some of those pictures at another time.
There were 24 different museums open for all to visit and the best part was being free.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Lots of life has happened in those years and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " B "

A Pop Icon turns 50.

Welcome to ABC Wednesday and the letter " B ".
The letter " B " is for a bundle of Bubble Wrap on a blue background.
People have walked to the alter dressed in it, wrapped their packages and even made displays at art museums. Mostly, they like the sound it makes when they destroy it. Its the stress reducer disguised as package cushioning.
Did you know the the product once was envisioned as a new type of wallpaper?



Bubble Wrap on a black background.
Did you know that there are more than 250 pages on Facebook devoted to Bubble Wrap?
Bubble Wrap is made by a company called Sealed Air in the state of New Jersey.
Air is trapped between plastic sheets after they pass over several rollers, one of which creates the indentations for the bubbles.
Bubble Wrap became an important cultural icon during the growth of computers. Something was needed to protect delicate components during shipping.
So Bubble Wrap, Happy Birthday. I'm glad you are 50 years old today, besides, I just love bursting your bubbles.

As always, enlarging the pictures will show more detail.

A tiny bit of sparkle on a very dull and wet day.

ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " A "

Well, here we are again for another round of ABC Wednesday.
I accept the challenge of finding new pictures for a letter of the alphabet every week.
The first photo is The Big Apple. That's the name for the awesome city of New York.



Here is another Big Apple.



No Awards for my photos at a local photo contest.



All I got was affirmations from my husband and friends for my artistic efforts.

MORE FACES OF HAITI

I just wanted to share 4 more faces of Haiti taken a few years ago.
Women carry everything on their heads. This was wash day and women and young children were on their way to the river to wash their clothes.



This little guy was making his way to who knows where. I don't know how he walked on that sharp rubble.



Beautiful people of Haiti at a happier time.



Its no wonder women suffer from neck and back pain. Everything is carried on the head.
