The Saturday Picture Show, September 27, 2025

 

This is a giant leafsucker car from British Railways that clears the path for the oncoming train from London to Leeds.
Remember, this person had to swerve to avoid crocodiles where she used to live, and now Baltimore traffic terrifies her.
Give me a nice winesap apple and my hiking stick and let me at this trail!

J.D. Salinger served in World War II in the Army. Being fluent in French and German, he served in the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC), grilling prisoners of war and ascertaining valuable information for our side.  A member of the 4th Infantry Division, he landed at Utah Beach on D-Day and fought in the Battle of the Bulge (considered by many to be the most savage and deadly fight in the war) and then he participated in the liberation of the Kaufering IV concentration camp. What he saw and suffered from formed the mordant sense with which he imbued Holden Caulfield and many other fiction characters. If he were still alive, I'd love to see someone tell him that fighting fascists is a bad thing.


The two old crows are biting each other's heads off in search of some seed, and there's probably a whole lot more on the ground, but they're gonna fight.
This is a photo of a flashlight beam on a foggy night!
I have never seen this much gold in one woods at once. Just so pretty!
We can't tell if the painter had a real house to depict or if this all came from his imagination. All alone on the prairie, we know that much.
A man drew this, but it's more than it appears to be at first - this hand drawing, drawn by hand, comprises 53,000 tiny circles.

Looks like another rapture came and went and we're all still here. There's always a next time!
