Spunkily

 A little day brightener.

Flimsy

 This is a pic of Royal Gorge Bridge from my aunt and uncle's wedding trip, according to the back of the photo.  That dates this picture at 1947.  

If you Google pictures of the bridge today, you will notice that they have really beefed up the suspension cables since this photo was taken.  I'm glad, because it honestly looks a little rickety in this picture.

It's the highest suspension bridge in the USA, almost 1000 feet above the gorge.  

Collectively

 Still scanning old pictures.  This is my dad's family, except for dad because he wasn't born yet.

Peaceably

One of my BFFs returned to town recently and I was showing her the remaining devastation from the riots that took place last year after George Floyd's death.  We drove through the parking lot for Hi Lake Shopping Center, which is under construction to repair the riot damage, and drove up the side street by the cemetery to get back to Lake St.  

As we were driving by the cemetery, I was surprised to see a deer walking around.  I immediately stopped and went to get pictures and video with my phone.  (Brief video below, as this deer was a creature of few words.) 

I found out after getting home that one or more deer have been living in this cemetery for several years now.  Some people call this deer "Fern."  It can leave any time it wants, but why would it when people feed it.  The Mississippi is only about a mile away.  I saw numerous pictures online of two deer that were living there last year.  It's quite amazing, considering the epicenter of the riots, the burning of the 3rd Precinct, is only 1400 feet away from this cemetery.

It warms my heart that even though our city is still recovering from the riots, beauty remains.  

Buddies

 Still looking through old photos.  I don't know if I'm related to this kid or not, but there is some serious cuteness overload going on here.  This would make a great ad for kids' overalls.
