The Saturday Picture Show, October 19, 2024

 

There just is not a prettier time of year for me. While cherry blossoms dance in spring, I'm already imagining falling leaves!
You remember the song "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Band? It was all over the radio, winter '66-'67, and we who love that era of music thought we were in for a long run of nostalgia. And then, nothing! But...this is what the cathedral looks like, anyway.
I know, this looks like Asian watercolor art, but it's a photograph from a blizzard one fine day.
Early fall snow in the Adirondacks landing on the changing trees. They call it "snowliage," and why not?
What a great idea for those of us who don't have 14" long skinny fingers. In Europe, your Pringles family of snacks is served in little trays.
What's sadder than an abandoned diner? Someone, somewhere, make some rice pudding and lemon meringue pie, order some bacon and eggs and pancake mix, and get this place open, please!

The person who posted this said they are really making those mazes a lot easier to solve now, and I don't know if they were kidding or not.
Someone mentioned tube socks the other day. (I get into the most wonderful conversations!) And the greatest example I could think of, even better than Mr T wearing two mismatched socks to show he came up from hard times, is the album cover photo from Skynyrd's "Street Survivors" album, showing drummer Artimus Pyle wearing the most 1977 socks of all time with his cutoff cargo denims. Good times! You should have been there!
This building in Belarus used to have a far more official purpose than its current incarnation for slinging $5 Tender Boxes, but progress is progress,
I saw this picture, I cannot tell you anything about it other than it shows a lot of red, like a map of Florida.
