We Should Shun Cameras
There are those around today who disapprove of using the tools of the 21st century to create what their mind’s eye sees. They think everything was better in the “good old days”. Continue reading We Should Shun Cameras

Mosaic of Life #20 Shaker Seeds
During my travels, I have visited many historic sites. I think Shaker sites are my overall favorite, especially the one closest to me near Lexington, KY, called Pleasant Hill Shaker Village. There are no longer any active villages, but many have been preserved as national historic sites. My initial introduction to Shakers was their furniture, but garden seeds were probably what they were actually more … Continue reading Mosaic of Life #20 Shaker Seeds
Pennsylvania State Museum
In 2014 we went to the State Museum of Pennsylvania on our way back from NYC. It was one of the best of all the state museums we have been in. It celebrates all aspects of its history. Here is a small gallery of the art from that visit. As usual click on any picture to see a larger slideshow view Continue reading Pennsylvania State Museum
Nothing New Under The Sun…
I think the title above came from Solomon but for me it refers to my uRV (micro-RV). I have spent the last couple of years putting stickers and saying on the camper cap. I think it looks pretty unique. But then I ran across the following picture from the Nationa Museum of American History. I really didn’t think I was the first to put messages … Continue reading Nothing New Under The Sun…
Another Car Guy Place..
I’m not done with the Deusenberg Museum yet but I kind of figure you can’t take too much of that beauty at one time so I need to ration it out. :) But I did fine another museum behind that one that is worth the visit if you are in the area. I admit that I got there just 10 minutes before that closed so … Continue reading Another Car Guy Place..
Lincoln Museum – Springfield IL
Abraham Lincoln is one of my favorite presidents. His library in Springfield Illinois is and impressive place. The pictures here are life-like figures from his cabinet. Most of these guys thought he was just a yokel who could be easily controlled. They later found out just how wrong they were. Continue reading Lincoln Museum – Springfield IL
Praire Museum – Colby Kansas
We just happened to come across this museum on our way home from Santa Fe this Spring. It is a fascinating place that tells the story of the Upper Plains of Kansas. One thing I do know is that the Upper Plains is a very windy place. I think it could be the wind energy capital of the world if they filled it with wind … Continue reading Praire Museum – Colby Kansas
Symmetry Attack…
I am having another symmetry attack and need to get it out of my system. This picture of symmetry was taken at the Des Moines Iowa State Museum a few years ago. It is a very interesting place to visit. Continue reading Symmetry Attack…
Carnegie…
Pittsburgh, PA – Museums Pittsburgh was the steel capital of the world for many years and of course Dale Carnegie was its king. The Carnegie Museum of Art is an impressive place to visit. Much of the “toys” he collected are on display there. The above picture is of the wing dedicated to rocks. Continue reading Carnegie…
About Art….
Chicago, IL – The Art Institute of Chicago Art is mainly something that all of us need to be exposed to. Much of it is a look into the soul of the artist. It helps us to know our value beyond any monetary terms. It is the essence of being human. The lions outside the museum are widely known and the art inside is well … Continue reading About Art….
Will Rogers…
Claremore OK – Will Rogers Museum Any of you who have visited my main blog over at RJsCorner know that Will Rogers is a major hero of mine. He was a satirist/humorists during the 1920s and 30s. He was very proud of his native American heritage and so am I. If you ever get a chance visit his museum. You will never forget it. Continue reading Will Rogers…
One The Road Cleveland – Day 6 Gallery..
Here we are sitting in our hotel room on Sunday morning waiting for the museum to open at noon. So, I thought I would pull a few more pictures out of the album to show here. We are headed for the Western Reserve Historical Society today to get a more detailed account of local history. Then it will be off to our friends home for … Continue reading One The Road Cleveland – Day 6 Gallery..
