Gary doesn't have nightmares at all, lucky duck. Those berries are called beauty berry and their color looks unreal, but it is truly what they look like, they are a native plant to the southeast USA.<br /><br />Hi Peter, thanks, yes it is strange something things change rapidly and others so slowly, oh well such is life. I remember doing the same such experiment in school now that you remind me of it, so long ago.

My brother was a Conscript in the Australian Army in Vietnam and through Faith has been able to work through to retirement age though still suffers nightmares at times. Great to hear of such an active 97 yr old.

Those of us old enough to remember the Vietnam War will do so with very mixed feelings and emotions. For our part we have looked at many of the images taken by our friend, László Kondor, who was an official war photographer at the time and so can, in some small part, appreciate the horrors for all involved in that particular conflict.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
