Great pictures!  All the old pics I find are bereft of telephone signage.

I enjoy this thread. I skip it until I am ready to "see" the moment.
I typically look at photos like I do  real time, a momentary snapshot of time/life.
Over time I have learned that photos are a "lasting" moment  of time.

It is like sitting and staring at the scene, vs seeing it while passing by.
When you stare at a scene you see a lot of interesting things.
Photos remind me to slow down and see the flowers.
I shouldn't be in a hurry, I should be in the moment.
A picture (photo) paints a thousand words.

The Alabama  song "I'm in a Hurry" also reminds me to slow down

This video reminds me  how silly the American "hurry complex" is.
You live, You learn,
You die, you forget it all.
