"Fred Oldfield, American cowboy and artist, loves to teach! He shows us his optimism and unquenchable enthusiasm for telling his story with his paintings. His favorite recognition is the look in the eyes of children as he tells about the days on the range and around the campfire and shares the American dream, which came true for him".

"Fred teaches painting to eager students at the Western Heritage Museum in Puyallup and anywhere students want to paint and learn. Fred is very active in his community ~ the Northwest ~ and has raised thousands of dollars for community projects with his art. Fred paints every day. But more than that, Fred Oldfield personifies the cowboy whose handshake is all the contract he'll ever need".

 
"The weird thing is, you get more comfortable in yourself, even as time is giving you less reason for it. When you're young and beautiful, you're paranoid and miserable. I think one of the greatest advantages of getting older is that you learn to let go of certain things."

Ooooo! I like this post, Lara!
 
Photographers Karoline Hjorth and Rita Ikonen came up with something truly peculiar and special. Their subjects are old super-serious Finnish people, all wearing ridiculous "organic" head pieces and attire created by the photographers.

These older Finnish people are good sports...in order are twigs, pine straw, rhubarb, seaweed, cotton, field gras, and pine straw.

I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as I have.

And, meanderer, I laughed so hard when I saw that pic!

It totally relates and is creative indeed. It takes, "I am a rock. I am an island" to a whole other level...literally. :D
 
Lara, one can only imagine what the those Finnish elders' great-grandchildren are texting their friends. "Love my grandparents, but when they decide to go for a walk in the woods their camouflage is good that we can't find them for a week. When we do they insist on wearing half the forest back home with them."

Love these pictures and Meanderer's, too!

What a lovely reminder of how fortunate I am to have had a wonderful life partner sharing my life from May through September - and hopefully beyond. These are indeed precious days.
