The Saturday Picture Show, May 18, 2019

Once again, the USA leads the world in clever trompe l'oeil paintings. This is a method of fooling people invented some time ago by Donald Trompe.
Nature will always, always find a way. My dad used to tell me that one could grow forsythia on a school parking lot if one wanted to, but who wants a trampled forsythia?
Once again, we revisit our series of Pictures Taken Inside Of Things.  This is how it looks to be inside an air mattress.
It always looks artistic in movies and television and magazine commercials when the roads and sidewalks are wet...not so much as to cause flooding, though. What's wrong with a dry road, anyway?
This concept originated in Europe and I understand that they are making inroads into the American movie theater scene. Yessiree Bob, that's a double bed where you and your closest inamorata can snuggle up and watch Will Smith in "Aladdin."  And if that ain't living, I don't know what.
It's a shame that this fellow went out to clean up his lake, and a triple shame that he needed 5 trashbags to do so.  What are people thinking?
I've never seen a rose like this one, two crisp colors. It's called the Osiria Rose. Someone you love would love to have a dozen of them right now.
There used to be a Burger Chef not too far from us, over on Joppa Rd where Don's Crabs is now. I think Burger King did them in. Or maybe it was these uniforms, as seen here in 1975.
