Rock Climbing

Turn around......we're over here!

"how's my pony-tail holding up?"

There are rock climbing walls all over the city! and admission is FREE!

"I should've worn shoes!"

"Bathing suit? uh---no this is NOT a bathing suit y'all. These are my short-shorts! 1959 original swimsuit?--nope, no way!-this is a "play-suit"! A "romper"? Work-out attire?----okay, okay---it's a bathing suit! But I HAVE put a little t-shirt on over it for coverage, see? I AM THE 1959 version after all....and a lady my age doesn't show TOO much, right?

"gotta catch up on the blogs!"

Abs-solutely CHARMING!! As everything seems to be in your fair City, and you've taken a sweaty, energetic, muscle-cramping sport and made it absolutely fashionable!

And I do swear, that though she doesn't look a Minute OF her age, Miss B. is of the same era as my Sis' family of Barbies, for whom I made countless small wardrobes from fabric scraps, petticoat lace, dotted Swiss and all the netting and ribbon from the dried corsages on my pink-satin-covered bulletin board when I was a teen.

That was my own ponytail, ca. 1958, though rock-climbing then meant getting yourself out up the rocky path after you'd spent the afternoon swimming in the quarry.

Fun beginning to the weekend---hope yours is happy and cool!

If only I could climb a rock, and if I did, hold up and look as good as Barbie does! :) I've just enjoyed catching up with your last few posts...that hood ornament looks very antique, doesn't it. I remember hood ornaments very well. I also like that yard in the city. You see such pretty things to photograph in and around Charleston. Have a great weekend!!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
