Interesting Photo Of The Day
What is odd about this photo?
Answer: Not the guy with a bone in his nose, a floral arrangement sprouting from his head and holding a machete. He's at home, so it's the plane that's the oddity. The DeHavilland DH84 Dragon is probably a plane of the Imperial Air Service, which operated in the Southeast Asia at the time. Lack of wheel fairings suggests that it is an early model.
A favorite photo of mine; probably Mindanao during the late twenties or early thirties. This guy means business. |

Roses
Recent blooms in our yard:
We grew this climbing rose from a cutting taken from my grandmother's garden in Syracuse in 1994. |
We have a few David Austin roses in the yard; we really like the English Roses for their big, multiple blooms. This one is Scepter'd Isle |
Another David Austin rose; this one is Graham Thomas |
