Tina leads.
‘Tis the season. Holidays, that is. Uncreative as I am, I will follow Tina’s lead and start with Christmas tree ornaments. Our ornaments consist entirely of souvenirs m’lady has acquired during our 25 years of travel together. (Photos are clickable and can be enlarged many times, many ways. (Merrry Christmas, to youuuu.))
Remember the toucan. (Who can? You can!)
Following, I CHOOSE, are ‘a few of my favorite things’ (tra la la la la) from last Thanksgiving’s visit to the National Museum of World War II Aviation. (Browse the link for identifications and info.) It is noteworthy that all the aircraft at this museum are flyable unless down for current maintenance.
Stay well, stay safe, be weird and wonderful, shapely and designed, follow your bliss, but remember, You Choose!
I enjoyed seeing these ornaments and the planes as well. I chose our tree and the ornaments for my response to this challenge as well. It is scheduled to go up this evening.

I don’t think they are quite ‘that’ ready, but I understand they have an annual air show in which many of them fly.

Thanks Anne. There are many fine aviation museums around the country, I’ve found, both large and small.

I Love those ornaments, John, so festive, which makes me wonder where I put my box of unique ornaments! My hubby would also love that air museum! BTW, these are all metallic and if you wish please consider linking to my post https://secondwindleisure.com/2021/12/12/sunday-stills-monthly-color-challenge-metallic-taste/

That aviation museum is new to me. I’ll have to put it on my list the next time we visit Colorado Springs. We were through there in September and had I realized it was there, we’d have made the time to stop.

Nice selections John. Your who can, you can reminded me of the old Pie Traynor commercial “Who can, Ameri-can”. You being from Pittsburgh, just wondered if you remembered or heard that one? It was always on Saturday’s Studio Wrestling…lol.

Just to inform you that I see nothing but grey squares with my Chrome browser… (I tried Edge too but still nothing.)

Well that’s no good! Thanks for letting me know. Try clicking on the grey squares anyway, or click on the center of the bottom margin. I will research here also. I’ll try a Chrome browser. I think m’lady has Edge on her laptop also. I use an Apple MacBook and Safari browser, and the picture gallery is a function of WordPress’s Cloudup Embed. To be continued…
