A VW Bus for Jill, and some foggy river pics.
Saw this parked down on the corner on Easter Sunday.
Soon as I saw it, I thought of Jill! Had to walk down and get a closer look.
Looks like it just rolled out of the showroom! Haven't seen one that pristine in years. By the late seventies it seemed every one you saw was covered in peace signs and flowers. lol
They're still out there Jill, don't give up on those dreams!
I'm thinking it was the next morning around 7:15 when I went out to start my truck and saw this tugboat idling in the high waters of the Ohio.
Made this one my new wallpaper.
After about five minutes he powered up and slowly headed on upriver.
Karen liked this bridge shot, so I set it as her new wallpaper.
It's been a lazy weekend here, hoping it stays that way.
See yuz sometime tomorrow guys, it's beer thirty!
If you get a chance, go over and check out my buddy Randy's weekend threefur!

VW bus is my oldest son's dream vehicle! Very nice pics of the river.
Great pictures. That VW is remarkable!
Really like the foggy river shots, very nice. there is a family in our area that continue to drive their VW bus. It has a zillion miles on it and they have kept it in nice condition. One of the few still around.
Beautiful pictures! That's the Ohio River, correct? Makes me a bit homesick for Kentucky. I'm from Paducah, though, so our little stretch of the river has been flooding.

Finally we need to check the material and the seams of the replica Hermes . We just have to be careful and serious when it decides to pay for.

Some people need to get out more often. We are certain glad that you get out so you can take such awesome photos.
That bug bus, or hippie peace van as we used to call ours, is really in excellent shape. Beautiful fog photos. You have got an amazing view.
Have a good week coming up way to fast.

@addyorable - @ohellino - Thanks, you two!
@MelFamy - Thanks man, knew you'd like em.
Those riverboat shots are fabulous, especially the first. I was just up in Nashville, selling some land, and was disappointed not to see any boats when I crossed the Cumberland and the Tennessee Rivers.
Nice misty shots of the tug boat.
Love the river photos. Beautiful!
Harold! Aaaaaah, you made my day, heck, my week! Thank you so much! That is one gem of a VW bus! Just like I dream about all the time! Thank you, thank you, thank you. And, oh, those Ohio River pics are gorgeous and so serene. You're a sweetie for taking the VW pics for me. I really appreciate it!
Your photo blog is wonderful. I know an artist that has done some cool retro vw bus paintings. Her name is Melissa Chandon. Have Jill google search her. She will enjoy her stuff. I really enjoyed your blog. Thank you for sharing!
Those river photos are absolutely beautiful -- I love the effect of fog on photos!

I post about this old river often.
@macphoto - High praise, coming from you!
Glad to see you back, Reen!
@buddly47 - I know what you mean. I get to drive to work or home from work in the fog fairly regularly.
@buddly47 - Apologies....calling it a lake.
@UnconventionalButterfly - Thanks, glad you liked em!
@NVPhotography - I would have to do the same, my friend!
@C_L_O_G - The fog is lovely to look at, not so great to drive to work in. Thanks, man!
@Margo73 - That's the mighty Ohio River, Margo. I've been living on her banks for the past 30 years.
@Mrs. Buddly - There's a petition to save it as an historical monument. I'm going to try and find it.

That river looks beautiful. In my head I can the hear and feel that view. Great pictures. There is a VW Bus in my town for sale, it's had the body work done but not painted. Don't know anything about it but I was going to take a picture of it for Jill.
The last two are my favorites
Wow those are beautiful!
Very nice photos Harold, I like the VW Van but for selfish reasons; I'd buy one and swap in a Porsche engine in it!
I like my rides to be fast.
Nice VW microbus. I haven't seen one in years.
I like your river pictures. Fog just makes everything look magical.
love the foggy pics!!
I still see some of those vans about here. So cool. Lovely pictures of the lake!
