B17 Photographs
I have never been to an airshow before and it was neat seeing some of the old World War II planes on display. There are two photographs of the old B17, the Flying Fortress, shown below.
We probably owe a good part or possibly all of our freedom to this plane. I’m glad I was not around for this fierce fight though. My previous post honors the brave veterans who flew on this plane. Sadly, their numbers are dwindling fast.
The plane pictured above is a beautiful plane and it is in working condition. I saw this B17 take off, taxi, and land. Earlier in the week it was flying around the skies of Madison and this “bird in flight” could be seen from the ground.
There are YouTube videos on the subject of WWII. Here, for example, is a moving video. See the related links to find more videos on WWII.
Sardines on a Bagel
This is not the best photograph, but it captures the idea. (My flash did not fire.)
This is actually a tasty and healthy meal. This simple dish consists of a can of sardines applied to the top of a bagel. It’s quite simple to make. And it doesn’t cost a lot of money, especially if you buy cheap sardines, like me. Sardines are packaged in a variety of ways, and I prefer the ones that are smoked and are in oil. This is a tasty dish. And it is also healthy.
Sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are an important contributor to good health. They are especially good for the heart and circulation. This is something that everyone must pay attention to. Many kinds of fish, of course, are good as a source of omega-3 acids. However, the smaller fish can be preferred because they do not have the high mercury content that the larger fish that are higher in the food chain, such as tuna, have. So the choice of sardines is healthy and relatively low in mercury, and is my choice for a tasty dish on a bagel.
The bagel is also somewhat healthy, it being a multi-grain bagel.
So this is the ultimate fish and bread dish. I enjoyed the simple meal.

First Farmer’s Market for 2013
The first farmer’s market is always kind of exciting, and it occurred just last Saturday (April 20). There was a better turnout than I expected and also considering the cold weather of around 35 degrees. There was lots of nice merchandise. Madison’s farmer’s market is one of the best in the nation.
America’s Veterans
This fellow, Rich, proudly wears his veterans cap. He served in Vietnam and flew over 400 bombing missions. His cap makes a strong statement. It is too bad that more people do not appreciate the contributions and sacrifices that these brave people made.
Classic car show on State Street for 2012
This photo was taken at the Cars on State show of classic cars.
These cars were on display on Madison’s State Street on June 2, 2012. It is interesting seeing the many old classic cars.
State Street cafe lifestyle – June 2012
State Street is a mecca of photographic opportunity. The European style street cafes present a variety of nice images that reflect on the lifestyle. I show a few such images below.
Vegetables at June 9 Farmer’s Market
I snapped some photos of vegetables at the June 9 farmer’s market. There are lots of photo opportunities here, and this is one of the nicest farmer’s markets in the nation.
