Good morning, kittens & dawgs! It’s Friday. Join me in linking with photographers across the globe in Skywatch Friday.
For Flashback Friday, I wanted to share this old news article on my DH’s grandpa. We scanned the original. The paper is yellow and a bit difficult to read, so I converted the image to B&W. Click to enlarge, it really makes a difference! Read Grandpa’s harrowing account of the worst storm of his life beginning in paragraph three.
One Christmas, we printed, matted, and framed this article as a present to my in-laws. It turned out nice, too.
~All images captured with my big girl camera ~ Nikon D7000 & preferred lens Nikkor 18-105mm zoom, unless otherwise noted.~
Before you go, you may want to link your photographic wonder to this week’s WW linkup party. Thank you for making me apart of your day. Please leave a comment so I know you came and I will hop over to your place. Have a foto-tastic day!

I love reading old papers, magazines or catalogs – history is amazing! And we evolved from it 🙂
Skywatch sounds like a very interesting meme…
This “sunsphere” is so very cool! The article on Grandpa is pretty cool, too!
Wonderful!
The sunsphere looks interesting. I need to google and read more about it. 🙂 Thank you so much for visiting my blog 🙂
In 1982, the World’s Fair Expo was held here in Knoxville, TN. In my blog archives, you can learn a bit here & here. Of course, Google will have more to share. The ’82 World’s Fair was a magical time! Thanks for stopping by!
