The Weekend Roundup, 'F'

The weekend has arrived, so I am ready for Tom's meme The Weekend Roundup. The sixth letter of the alphabet is featured and this was easy this week :)

I start today with a pristine 1954 Ford Sunliner in a fantastic peach finish.
I believe this picture is from 1957 or so. Here is my grandparents and Aunt Terry standing on the marker of the Four Corners of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah.  Grandpa's famous 1955 Dodge is in the background... 
Here is at a park in Omaha at the birthplace of the 36th president Gerald R. Ford. this was right around where my sister lived was this neat neighborhood park.
Flower. Here is a flower (weed?) growing through the massive Savin Rock in West Haven, CT. A mighty flora!

Friday Hunt 2017.2.15

The seasonal weather is changing, but not the fun Friday meme Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa.

Starts with ‘O’. I have a few and some could be linked to a city or town too. The first is Ohio, and in this shot, probably taken in 1977 is Grandpa holding two license plates from 1937 (40th year?), his Ohio license tag and I believe his Ohio radio license. Grandpa was 75 in 1977 who lived in the city of Steubenville, Ohio…
Then there is Omaha, Nebraska. First, my sister Michele in 1964 (age 10) who with my grandparents visited My Aunt Terry in the Missouri River city.
Another Omaha shot was taken by me in 1983 visiting my sister who was in the USAF (SAC HDQ., Offutt AFB). Unknown to me, two houses away was a park at President Gerald Ford’s birthplace. Just a little neighborhood park that was a great find...
Purple. Two with a purple hue (to my mind at least :). First pic was taken at the Jones Family Farm Winery in Shelton CT. Nice lavender flowers.
This one was taken on our patio this summer. I can’t explain it, the the wine bottle in the late afternoon is a pic Patti and I love - perhaps it was a warm but not humid day with a tasty grilled meat and red wine just relaxing on a great day. The label on the bottle looks purple. Nice prompts this week!
