good
morning, terryjdeglaucomcom.blog
I
was just thinking, and that usually brings me trouble, do you know anything that
was invented with patent and made the inventor no extra land fall of money. I
do. Dave Strickler invented the banana
split in 1904 in Latrobe, PA. He sold many through his drug store soda fountain
for at least 75 years. It even quickly became a pleasant staple for St. Vincent
students. Dave built a 2 story building to house his thriving drug store and
soda fountain business, he even rented his second floor to a young Doctor for
many years, he raised a family well for a small town pharmacist, but he never
endowed a chair at a college, he did not build a wing on his church, his
elonged glass dish is not sold as a collectable in novelty shops bearing his name. There is a national
Banana Split day on August 25, check Mr. Google if questioning my facts. http://foodimentary.com/2013/08/25/national-banana-split-day/ BUT
answer this question, did you know about it or celebrate it with flags,
banners, and a parade? I don't think so. It has been known nationally for
years, even Dairy Queen has it on their menu. BUT guess what? he did not make
an extra dollar in bringing such A great pleasure to many ice cream hungry
Americans.
Promise
me you will, the next time you are enjoying a banana split, you will raise a
spoon ladened with a straw berry, slice of banana, a dollop of vanilla ice
cream smothered with chocolate syrup, and say thank you Dave, THANK YOU.

I
have been sent a collection of 36 images of animals that show their personalities at their
best. Exciting, pretty, funny and all captured at the most perfect time. I have
edited these 36 to 18 images that have
substance worth viewing. I saw enough cats to dull my imagination on kats for a
whole month. And I have to admit a collection of 36 images require a terrific
soul pounding CD to maintain my enthusiasm at the 36th image with the intensity
I had with the first. So I took my
editorial license and eliminated 18 dull, yes very dull images because actually
and factually--- it is my blog.
One publication published for the first
time in 1888, has anually produced spell binding images that tear at your heart
strings for the past 135 years. And that is the National Geographic. After you view this collection of severely
edited pitchers I have added a few of NG professional animal images in special
collections. You can immediately recognize a professional image produced by a
world class photographer who is not limited with time restraints, weather or
travel restrictions.
love the beautiful
total green photograph. nice that the praying mantis is surrounded with black.

Now a look at some National
Geographic's collections made by nationally known photographers. Sorry the
article only uses the National Geographic's copy right, no credit for their
photographers. STRANGE.
The Art of Deception
Sometimes survival means lying, stealing, or vanishing in place
Three leaf-litter toads collected
within yards of each other almost disappear on a forest floor in Panama.
Staying alive in the tropics, where nearly everything is food for something
else, often calls for such trickery to fool a predator's eye.
Rhinella margaritifera
Create a Diversion
A bird zeroing in on a flag-footed bug
perched on a passionflower might see the flutter of red "flags"—the
insect's attempt to divert the hunter's bite to nonessential limbs, away from
its vital core.
Anisocelis flavolineata (insect);
Passiflora sp. (flower)
A finger-length katydid disguised as
lichen-coated bark barely registers in the dim understory of a Panama forest.
But camouflage is more than just looks—the wearer must also act the part. This
nocturnal insect holds stock-still during daylight hours to help conceal its
contours.
Acanthodis curvidens
The headline for this next collection
calls out "These are some of
the most beautiful pictures ever taken by
National Geographic"
National Geographic"
You can quickly see that the cropping,
composition, lighting, selective focus, expose at the just right moment, rule
of thirds, the awe factor, and I again repeat myself 'I wish I had made this image.'
