I had two made for my granddaughters at Walgreens. One was for younger kids and the other a "regular-sized. They both came out quite nice, printed and in a tin within 24 hours, picked them up at the local Walgreens and got 50% off (or about $12 to $15 each). I was quite pleased with the results and the kids loved them as they were each the subject of each puzzle/photo

Perhaps donate to the Western NC Air Museum at Hendersonville airport if you can't sell them?

A month and a half late for these postings, but figured, why not.... just for the fun of it.

Thanking all who have served throughout our history. This shot from the battleship Missouri, looking across the foredeck toward the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. I feel this captures the "bookends" of the U.S. engagement in WWII, from the opening attack to the signing of surrender documents four long years later. God Bless those that served (and died) over the years.

Thanks Joanne. Actually, we did get to visit the Pacific Air Museum during our tour. A couple of hours spent absorbing the aircraft, hangers and history of the Dec. 7 attack, Pacific theatre and naval air history.... absolutely fantastic!

Thank you all for viewing and for your comments. I truly appreciate them.

Thanks for viewing and your comments

A continuation of my earlier post on a Winter's Juxtaposition, leaving Chicago for a winter respite in Hawaii. First day was spent touring Pearl Harbor and Ford Island.... a must for history buffs. Then to the Big Island for two weeks of R&R.

The Bowfin WWII Submarine. A walking-tour well worth taking

Thanks all for the looks and comments. Two weeks in paradise and not looking forward to heading home later this week

Left the frigid Midwest (Chicago area) on January 30 at minus 23 degrees F (minus 55 degrees wind chill) and disembarked our flight 9 hours later in Hawaii and a balmy 82 degrees. Gotta love it

God it was cold!


Much nicer here... 105 degree temp differential

Thanks Axiesdad. Yep, technology sure has changed. Unbelievable what the equipment, computerization and modern farming techniques have produced.

Nice!

Nice shots, love the perspectives and story of the brand

Love this time of year with the cooler temps, drier air and visiting some farms in central Illinois. These were all taken w/a Canon 60d, 18 - 135 kit lens, hand held with minimal PP. Downloads show dramatically sharper than thumbnails. Other than that, no further explanation necessary other than the yield in this area is fantastic this year.

Great shots of a great plane. Particularly interesting shot with the B-17 taxiing for take off followed by the Southwest 737. Really shows that the B-17, while a large/heavy-bomber at the time is dwarfed by todays aircraft.
