Larado Taft (distant descendant of President Taft) was a talented sculpture and created elaborate fountains and statues. There are many books and videos about the Black Hawk War. I've read a couple but it's been a while so all my facts are not right in the forefront. If you ever become interested to read up on it I have more photos of some of the places that played a role in the war.

Thank you melinda010100. I may need those if I decide to do a series on the subject, I probably will someday so thank you!

I would love that! We could do a colaboration.... Your story and words and my photos!

there ya go! that would work and I'm sure it will happen someday. I cold say "here's my photographer's photos!" lol. and put your name all over the post, people wouldn't know who to thank.

I remember early on there were groups trying to promote colaborations, but it never took off. I do something of the sort with the Shadow Contest when I have a guest judge. They come up with the idea for the topic and provide the sample photos for that week's contest and then they judge the entries. I still do the post and put it all together but I use their photographs wirh credit to them and their ideas. They often get a few new folliwers our of it.

howdy there melinda010100..oh I see..yes that would work. But overall I reckon people are too independent and their schedules too crazy to do much work together.
hey you really are part redneck aren't you.."folliwers?" lol.

Hahaha By this time of day my typos become more and more frequent! But I like folli-wers! Fun word!
