The hour Each clang ringing loud
With time's history

Hopefully I interpret correctly that I may use screen shots of
a film that is in the public domain. I guess I will find out if I am
asked to remove the screen caps. I hope they can stay!

Imagination

Magic thinking cap
Used for creative visions
Imagination

I couldn't resist using this picture even though I am pretty
sure that this would do the exact opposite of helping to
create visions. Well, maybe scary ones!
The picture doesn't reflect at all what I was thinking when
I wrote this, but ... I LOVE this picture LOL.

This charming picture came from an old series of books Bunny Brown and
his Sister Sue by Laura Lee Hope.
Following is a link to the book that the illustration is from. The book is titled
Bunny Brown and his sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While. You can actually read
the book at the following link thanks to the Internet Archive at archive.org and
The New York Public Library.

Also, here is a link to the entire series as listed on the Goodreads website.

I know I focused the blog text on the source of the illustration but I want to
get back to what I wrote. I think it's important to keep the third line in mind.
Enough said!
