Americana

It is time to bring life back into view. To celebrate the elements of being human. Of Love, Hope, Caring, Humor, Friendship, Commitment and Beauty to name but a few of many lovely qualities which lies in each and every one of us. These Human qualities are some of the foundations needed to breathe, see, feel and smell the world. It is the only world we have and the people in our lives are the ones we do have. Peace Out. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS PAGE MY AMERICANA SERIES. AMERICA IS A GOOD PLACE, BUT ALSO A STRANGE PLACE. IT IS A COUNTRY THAT HAS MORE GUNS THAN CITIZENS, AN AVERAGE OF 1.88 CARS PER HOUSEHOLD, AND 2.5 T.V.'S PER HOUSEHOLD....YOU GET THE PICTURE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO REPRESENT A SWATH OF AMERICANA THAT IS SEEN AND UNSEEN. HAVE A SWEET DAY.

Cars, cars and more cars. We need them, for now, can't live without them. This is a street I cross often and I always push the "walk" button. Better safe than sorry!



Many of us have posted signs on power line poles. Signs covering all of life's adventures.....Lost cats, dogs.....For sale signs......Concert dates.....Just to name a few topics.

The American child at play. Who has not seen the playfulness of a spirited child with colored chalk in their hands. Children unhindered and sharing the sidewalk space with each other. It brings memories of my childhood. I understand their art!
