My Grandmothers car, probably about 1920's ..... what is this vehicle, possibly a Ford? Looks sort of gangster'ish!
Thanks, Trish
Your grandma's car is definitely a Desoto. Have a look at this one . . . it is the only two door Desoto I could find.

You've seen it here first. A one headed horse
with six legs and two riding surfaces.
No manipulation of image. Just one horse standing behind the another
Where in the picture are the front legs of the horse at the rear?

It's a Purple Finch. Similar to the House Finch but has more red.
Using Firefox browser, what app do I need to view UHH posted photos?

When my wife and I headed up to Colorado in the fall of 2014 we made our first stop in Holbrook, AZ and stayed in the Wig Wam Motel which is a part of the original Route 66 history. To see its history, Google Wig Wam Motel, Holbrook, AZ. We made a reservation several months in advance and were glad we did so. It was an interesting evening as several photography workshops included it on their itinerary and I got to meet photographers from England and another group from Japan. We invited several of them to tour the inside of our room on the condition they share the pictures with the rest of their group. The room was delightful but due to the sloping walls, when you took a shower, you had to lean at the same angle as the shower wall. A really neat bit of Route 66 history! The owners had also parked several 1950's vintage cars around the grounds to add to the atmosphere.

Wigwam Village originated in 1935 at Horse Cave, KY on Highway 31W. The next one was constructed at Cave City, Ky in 1937. Later 5 more were added including the one located at Holbrook, Arizona. More info at

Does anyone know what this is? It's some type of weed that grows over five feet high. I tried Google Images, but all that did was show me similar pictures.
This is Poke Weed, native to the eastern United States.
It is toxic, but can be eaten as a spring green if properly prepared. Eat only the small young leaves, boiling them three times changing the water each time. Yes, I have eaten Poke Weed.
Wikipedia will tell you all about it.

I finally received the correct solution to my problem by asking the question to the Adobe forum for Elements. One of the experts provided it.
Please tell us the solution to your problem.

Not sure about yours, but here is another "What is it?". It is about 3 feet long and probably about 20 inches around. It had large leaves before they died and were taken off.
I believe that is a gourd.

The Mad Pea Hen...
A very good shot, Tom.
Your bird is a Guinea, don't know the sex . . . I once had about 20 of them and never could determine which was male or female.
Guinea left - Pea Hen right

Now that is a great picture.
For years it has been my goal to photograph the Milky Way but I don't know where or when to look for it. Several years ago I could see by looking north . . . from Big South Fork which direction were you pointing your camera?

Thought I'd post some documentary type photography (some people enjoy this) . Many times in my travels I see places where things are made. Here in this post are a couple of major producers in the Nashville area.... .
Very good photos and a great article about Nashville manufacturers.
You missed one of the original plants . . . the Glass Plant in west Nashville across the street from John Tune airport. The plant was built by Ford Motor Company, starting production in April of 1957. The home of James Robertson, co-founder of Nashville was located in back of the plant site on a high bluff overlooking the Cumberland River.
At one time the factory was running 4 furnaces, one of which drew the glass
vertically from the furnace . A few years after my retirement, the first day of 1991, the factory was sold. It is still manufacturing glass but with only one furnace being active.
