He was a pretty amazing man! Great captures! I really like them all, but of course, with my screwball sense of humor, I like the last one -- great smile to start my day! Hope your week is going well, Jack!!
the first one, but the last is very funny! did you goto roosevelt island in new york? there is a nice one of him as well!! (the first pic reminds me of it)
FDR was able to put a happy, bright face to some very dark days, so the last bust is iconic. The others are more true to life. He was a great leader, but we often forget that he had organized political opposition in this country.
I've been down in New York state on frequent occasions, but never to Hyde Park. Campobello, on the other hand, I've seen once. Definitely a side of the FDR story worth seeing.
A great president. Just the right man for the job.
He was the right man, in the right place, at the right time. That's just my opinion.
ReplyDeletePS: I forgot to mention.. you have to come to Campobello Island, Canada to see his summer home.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been an interesting visit! I remember when he died and the great sorrow felt by so many people.
ReplyDeleteSounds your first golf outing was rather special. I haven't had a hole-in-one for over 10 years. Very discouraging! But I've had 4!
I love FDR's monument in DC. Thanks Jack!
ReplyDeleteLove that last one!:) We're heading over there soon and haven't seen FDR library/home in a few years - looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI like the one in the third photo the best. That must have been an interesting visit.

ReplyDeleteI like all of them, but not equally well. Enjoy the same one Sharon mentioned, the top close-up is very strong, and the bottom photo amuses me!
ReplyDeletethe first one, but the last is very funny!

I do love a man with a sense of humour, so the last is the one for me :)

ReplyDeleteI like the sequence of your super shots. The last photo made me smile but that top shot is the winner for me.
ReplyDeleteI like best the last one ;)
ReplyDeleteWow. Great shots Jack!

I like the 3rd one I think, Jack!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible: I like the last one because it makes me smile just before drying my hair and going to bed...
ReplyDeleteFDR as Pharoah strikes my interest, Jack!

I'll bet that was interesting... Eleanor was such a wonderful first lady...
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of MRS Roosevelt!I have several books about her and by her.She's an icon to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteLike Malyss, I'm also huge fan of Mrs. Roosevelt! :)
