Algidity

This was while my dad was over in Korea.   It looks like he might have been washing something in the stream.  I'm guessing that was a little chilly.  Circa 1953.

Sharply

 Celebrating my dad this week.  He looked really sharp in his uniform.  

Swanky

 Dad loved his cars.  Had to have a new one every two years, in his younger days.  Circa 1960.

Blondie

 September always gets to me, especially the week starting today.  Dad has been gone 24 years now.  Here he was way back when he was a cute little blondie.  

Smokey

 Three years ago we took a road trip out to Bend, OR, which included going through ND, MT, ID, WY, and SD.  A lot of those states were having wildfires at the time.  

I took this image while we were in Bend.  It kept getting smokier and smokier and wasn't pleasant to breathe.  I distinctly remember this walk because there was an outdoor restaurant with a live band and they were playing "Smoke on the Water" to make the best of a bad situation.  

My heart goes out to everyone on the west coast suffering through the current massive wildfires in several states.
