Ushering in the New Year

Some groovy pics to get one into the spirit...

"Old Man" Winter

Yet a few more...

Yet a few more

Note the ones also for foreign countries...the same ad models and effervescence. Honing in on power, materials, wealth, prowess, and ego.

More ciggie ads

They are delving into "subliminal" advertising 50 years ago; imagine what they can do with nano technology today...in the Orwellian battle for the mind.

More ciggie ads

These are pretty clever and convincing. Associating smoking with virility, wealth, power, sex, acquisition, coolness, adventure, courage, and so on...even part of the home and implied sacred ness.

One of the best gifts ever

A cool peice of stained glass.

Big Tujunga Wash area 12/04

Hints of fall winter coming slowly to the area. First time this river has been dry in a while. A true "arroyo seco." The poplars, sycamores and willows now in yellow color. Many small birds chirping today.

More Xmas pics

These pretty neat in their originality.

Thanksgiving/yuletide pix

Couple more for the season. Time of spiritual reflection and commarderie with the Fellowship of those we bonded to. In gratitude and what to ask big H.P. to do better on.

US Veterans 2

Remembering the veterans

Some misc pics. In a much grander scale, without these people this country might be in a much different situation. To what extent, allow the individual to find out for themselves.
