Description

My Grandmother swept beneath these trees... enjoying Summer shade. Standing for about 230 years, one tree had scars from a lightning strike; all were marked and changed by time and so has this hillside which was home for my family since 1932 ... My earlier images were captured there, while roaming creeks and valleys... remembering a youth of unbridled freedom. $300k + town homes will now occupy this sunny spot on Earth ... godspeed

Thanks for viewing, and you might enjoy browsing the link above ... unless Google has deleted it and all the associated pictures. The Holleman bothers were buried at this location, during January and February of 1862.

Joel, the elder, died of an unknown disease in January, and Joseph, his younger brother, died a month later later at Carolina City... which has recently become my home.

During a year long mission, a friend and I researched this project, aided by many and hindered by few... an unusual feat in this day and time.

I ran across the following note, which all should take notice if you have images stored on line... the times, they are a 'changing............

Google+ is no longer available for consumer (personal) and brand accounts From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making Google+ such a special place. What happened to Google+? In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019. Other Google products (such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive, YouTube) were not shut down as part of the consumer Google+ shutdown and you can continue using those products. The Google Account you use to sign in to these services will remain. Note that photos and videos already backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted. Learn more What happened to consumer Google+ content? We are in the process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts and Google+ pages. This process will take a few months to complete, and content may remain through this time. In the meantime, if you previously created content on Google+, you may be able to download and save your remaining Google+ content. You may also be able to view and delete your remaining Google+ activity.

What's happening to Picasa, Picasa Web Albums, and the Picasa Web Albums API? What's happening to Picasa?
