Bidding Brodie Helmets

Every one of them is wearing a Brodie helmet, a heavy piece of metal mottled in the color of the surrounding, that might have been collected since British Colonization in Malaysia back in the nineteenth century. 


If bidders start placing bids, these helmets should worth a fortune as an antique, and it is sure a terrific business possibility.


One shall not think hiking is just one of those exercise activities. The first pot of gold can be scooped once mind starts to wander, as you are wandering.

Life is great.

    They are little beauties, and your "wandering thought" is fantastic..

  10. Too bad these little helmets aren't worth a fortune that I know . Then you could make a lot of money and I could say I know a rich guy.

  38. Wonderful! I like your idea of each of these mushrooms wearing a helmet.

  39. Helmet or not--grin! ...I like to hike alone. For one thing, I can take my time, rather than always having to speed along, or play 'catch-up.

    Reason(s) are that i DO like to stop when *I* want to 'see' more of something, examine, shoot photos, etc.

    Other thing is, at my age I CANNOT keep up with other Peeps, no matter how slow they go.

    So I may catch them on their way back down the mountain.
    PEACE!

    PS WHO am I kidding--grin!??? Last time I took a hike was one year ago, and all level ground, and I got overheated, and, and, well...you know!

  40. A little bit of spray paint and it'd look just like the real thing. :D Nice mushroom shots. :)
