1912 Iowa-Style
by GeneralE

Comment:
When they were filming the movie version, Robert Preston found out for the first time that Shirley Jones was pregnant when her son kicked him in the stomach as them embraced on the bridge during this song.

An unmarried man and woman "meeting at the footbridge" was about as daring a display of non-marital (or really any) public intimacy which might be expected for the times.

Till There Was You
Words and Music by Meredith Wilson

There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing,
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you.

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you.

And there was music,
And there were wonderful roses,
They tell me,
In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn, and dew.

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you!

Fruit Bowl with Flower

Comment:
At least as I see it, this is not only a well-executed still-life, but a cool optical illusion of a gradient in the wide border.

I know a piece of road very similar to this -- nice angle and perspective to get in so many wiggles in the road.

I'm trying to remember if I've driven over that bridge ... I know I've never seen it from that angle -- nice. :-)

Sky Swoopers

Good use of an "implied" line -- cool how they follow the edges of the clouds.

Not what I was expecting from the title :-)

I like the combination of curving and straight/leading lines.

Lovebirds For 68 Years

I like the lighting on this. As an entry I think the composition is OK, but I think I'd also make a print with a tighter (head and shoulders) crop.
