This is the 40th anniversary convention of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, ILGWU, at NY's Carnegie Hall in 1940. FIL had this framed in his home office. His aunt was there as a union representative.

I really appreciate you taking the time to post all these awesome pictures and share the stories behind them.

I am assuming that you'd had to scan them and then upload them. That takes time so thank you once again.

We went back out to the Swell Saturday and this time we saw more wild horses. They're right below the red arrow. See them??



There's even a yearling there by its mother.



Look right at the center of the picture.



Mother Nature plants things anywhere.



We ended up back at the Copper Globe Mine.

Its a crumby video but I felt pretty good that I actually got one running.

The Swell is like onions because it has layers. I learned that from Shrek.

I'm glad you like some of those old general interest photos.

Yes, they were scanned. When my late father-in-law got dementia, we scanned over two-thousand of his old photos for him to enjoy on a tablet.

My cousin sent me a photo of an item in our great aunts estate (died in the 80s) that lead to lots of googling.In the Victorian era,pre photography,a lock of hair from the recently deceased was enclosed in a mourning brooch and worn during the grieving period.The practice ended with the death of queen Victoria in the early 20th Century.This item has several locks of hair in both sides.
I’m guessing this had belonged to one of my Scottish great grandmothers or a great,great grandmother

Sunrise at Butch Cassidy's childhood home in Circleville, Utah 8/3/2015

 

[rubiranch]

Here's another picture of Butch Cassidy's childhood home. I took this one 12/4/2013.

I drove past his home for several years when I was hauling the US Mail at different times of the day 12 months a year.

I loved this place until a couple of years ago the property owner donated the property and State Parks hired "professional restorers" to completely disassemble and rebuild it.

Its a good thing because now it will last a long long time but for me its just not the same house Butch grew up in.

We got a rare visitor at our feeder today. Indigo buntings do come through this area during the spring migration but we had never seen one in the yard before, until today. This is one of Mom's favorite birds. The color on them is just amazing. In the shadows they are tough to see but in the sunlight, they pop.

This is an old 2-story B&B called Trapper's Pride. I don't know when it was in operation. I can't find any info on it.

Its all cut timber with base boards, moldings around the doors and windows and even some crown molding.



I took these pictures while guiding some visitors back on 9/19/2013



Its located in East Fork Fish Creek Canyon in the Tusher Mountains.
That's Mt Belknap in the distant background. It stands 12,137 ft.

I finished mowing the pasture over the weekend but did not have the heart to mow this patch of grass....any idea what type it is. I am in north Texas and have no ideas what type it is....but I like the look and the way it sounds when it rustles in the breeze.

....any idea what type it is.

I'm going out on a limb here and go with green grass.

Red rock country

This is a shot I took in 2012 near Sedona, Arizona. Amazingly beautiful "red rock" scenery.

Aww, man. Someone beat me to it.

I live in a canyon that has close to 2600 individual pieces of Indian Rock Art. The majority of it is nearly 1200 years old and was done by the Fremont Indians.

This particular rock is called The Arch of Art and has several different panels of Indian writings.




These are petroglyphs and the rarest in the canyon. These were painted rather than carved into the rock.

Saturday was a trash clean up day at a popular OHV riding area so I loaded my ATV and trailer and headed north.

It was organized by the BLM and Utah State Parks OHV Program and there were people there from Jeep, Toyota and ATV clubs.

The area is close to several big cities so its busy on the weekends.

The trash people leave behind is pathetic. I hate litterbugs.

Good job rubiranch! I hate litter as well... And you got fresh air and sunshine as a reward. Thanks for sharing (and caring!)
