  • And, On The Fourth of July

    I’m not really a big fireworks kind of guy. So, while I was thinking about what to post today, I came up with the idea of a collection of Americana pictures. So here we go.

  • Candy Apple Red

    Candy Apple Red is actually a shade of paint and method of adding extra gloss to a paint color for cars. But, you can see where the paint manufacturers get the name from. These apples were photographed at the New Mexico State Fair as part of my fair food pictures. They are so glossy that…
