I love old doors…this one found in Mallorca.
A window framed in red lets light into a 19th century, pioneer era store. In front of the window, two wooden, cane-bottomed chairs flank a barrel topped with a checkerboard and candle. A bulletin board with reproductions of period cover a bulletin board hanging on a whitewashed wall.

Panoramic shot across Gifford Pinchot State Park in York County, PA from Warrington Township Park, just to the west of its boundaries. Clear blue skies above reflecting in the blue of the lake waters, surrounded by trees still awaiting leaves, but with patches of green grass poking through
Recently posted a few ground level shots of Pinchot Lake ... here's a refreshed look across it and the whole park from Warrington, just outside its boundaries
It could claim its pension, but not old as lakes go; it will be 65 years young this year

A small adobe church with a bell tower and white crosses sits at the end of a gravel path in a rural mountain setting. In the foreground, a stone cross and a fenced grave adorned with flowers mark a simple cemetery. Scrubby vegetation and scattered rocks surround the grave and path with tree-covered mountain ridges rising in the background beneath a partly cloudy sky.

Two large fiber wheels in my collection. A large wool walking wheel and a spool winder. Assorted colorful yarn cones on a shelf in my studio.
Old school...
The larger walking wheel, or wool wheel was my first, from my grandmother's house, not sure of its origin in the family. And that was at least 45 yrs ago...

https://www.theworldwar.org/ | Early‑20th‑century Ford ambulance on display at the National WWI Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. The vehicle has a wooden, boxy medical transport body mounted on a Model‑T–style chassis with spoked wheels and a front radiator grille. It sits behind low protective barriers. Behind it, brightly lit wartime posters line the wall, including a large “Fourth Liberty Loan” image of a classical figure with shield and sword and another depicting Kaiser Wilhelm. The scene highlights the medical and propaganda elements of the World War I era.
Display case at the National WWI Museum in Kansas City showing a neatly arranged collection of early‑20th‑century personal items. Objects include round eyeglasses in a worn case, a pocket watch with its chain coiled beside it, a small tin of Burlington Pure Soluble Coffee, a Swan Vestas matchbox, a Piedmont Cigarettes pack, and a Durham smoking‑tobacco booklet. A cloth pouch marked “U.S.A.” holds domino pieces spilling slightly outward. Also visible are a metal pocketknife, a beaded rosary, a chewing‑gum card, and a folded booklet of black‑and‑white photos. The items rest on a neutral surface under soft exhibit lighting, evoking the everyday belongings carried by soldiers during World War I.
Two visitors stand in front of a brightly lit wall of framed World War I–era posters at the National WWI Museum in Kansas City. The posters form a tight grid and feature bold patriotic imagery and slogans, including calls to save food, enlist in the Marines, buy Liberty Bonds, and support “Victory Girls” and “Victory Boys.” The figures in the posters—women in uniform, farmers, soldiers, and allegorical characters—are rendered in vivid early‑20th‑century illustration styles. The pair of viewers is silhouetted slightly against the display, emphasizing the colorful propaganda art behind them.

**Alt text:** A restored 1906 Ford Model N displayed outdoors on a brick street. The car is deep red with bright red spoked wheels, polished brass lamps, and a brass radiator plate engraved with “Ford 1906.” Its exposed front engine and black leather seat highlight the simple, early automotive design. People stand nearby, suggesting a car show setting.
**Alt text:** A rare 1916 Ford Tall‑T pickup on display at an outdoor car show. The truck has a brass Ford radiator, a wooden cab, and dark wheels, all showing the patina of an unrestored, century‑old vehicle. A sign in front notes it’s one of only three known to exist and the only fully original example. Another classic car and several spectators stand in the background.

1982 Datsun 280ZX. Gone, not forgotten.
Donated & towed away, October 2021.
I hear someone later bought it at auction for $1500. Maybe for parts. I'm trying not to know.
All I have left is this big Z that fell off, maybe from the steering wheel.
