Hi Everybody! Please come in and get comfortable.
Tonight Your photostudy is 13 shots for June 13. I took all of these shots around the Bird Sanctuary just a couple of days ago. You will see some of my summer trees-all green and beautiful. I have so many trees and plenty of shade to stay cool. I planned it this way for the birds and then I planted little trees for years!

Enjoy!

Just Push Play

For those of You who do not know what a Hippie is, I have put the short definition below. Also a documentary on the Woodstock Festival, which will give you a feeling of the times!!


Remember this was 40 years ago and things were very different! Yes, I was a flower child Hippie back in the day.
I want to go on record as saying now I am strongly against the abuse of alcohol. I am strongly against the abuse of drugs. I do not suggest the use of anything, anywhere at any time. 
No drugs will be served on this Blog.
In the sixties there was plenty of good smoke and drugs around and they were cheap. Also, they were not illegal yet.
Once they were made illegal, most people stopped using the recreation drugs anyway. Today, the street drugs are very bad, better to just not go there. The communes did not work out too well either. But those of us that were Nature and Peace Lovers are still Nature and Peace Lovers.  We did stop the War. In the old days, the motto was Make Love, Not War.
Our new Blog Motto is:  Just Dance!

History of the hippie movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See also: History of subcultures in the 20th century and History of the United States (1964–1980)

The hippie subculture developed as a youth movement that began in the United States during the early 1960s and spread around the world. Its origins can be traced back to classical culture, and to European social movements in the early 20th century i.e.: Fabians andBohemians. From around 1967, its fundamental ethos — including harmony with nature, communal living, artistic experimentation particularly in music, and the widespread use of recreational drugs — spread around the world.
