British Teddy Girl, 1955
Teddy Boy (also known as Ted) is a British subculture typified by young men wearing clothes that were partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, styles which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after World War II. The subculture started in London in the 1950s, and rapidly spread across the UK, soon becoming strongly associated with American rock and roll. Originally known as Cosh Boys, the name Teddy Boy was coined when a 1953 Daily Express newspaper headline shortened Edward to Teddy.

The rule is, every time this badass Teddy Girl shows up on my dash, I shall reblog her until one day I wake up and I AM her.

I want to dress like this every day for the rest of my life.

So do I.

Crowd-Sourced Cloud of the Day: Meet undulatus asperatus, a cloud formation first spotted in Iowa in 2006. The cloud, which looks like the high seas, now has been photographed enough places that it is being considered for the next edition of the International Cloud Atlas. If the new formation is accepted, it will be the first classification discovered through crowd sourcing — that is, people snapping pics of the sky and lobbying to have them recognized.

A dust storm approaches a small Texas town, 1935. My father-in-law grew up in Texas cattle country and tells me these types of storms are more common than you’d think. I can’t even imagine.

A heart-shaped meadow, created by a farmer as a tribute to his late wife, can be seen from the air near Wickwar, South Gloucestershire. The point of the heart points towards Wotton Hill, where his wife was born.
