I've never seen this type of "cloud" before. (Looks nice on full screen) For Sight and Sound: Robin Trower w/Davey Pattison from the album "Living Out of Time" (2004) I Want To Take You With Me I Want To Take You With Me

This week in SSC: "Reflections" I caught this double reflection of some trees down at the pond in our living room picture window. The one pine tree even has 2 tops. Lots of "doubles" in this reflection. From Foreigner's "Double Vision" (1978) Double Vision Double Vision

The world's gone crazy. I'm outa here. ;-) Still Corners Going Back to Strange Going Back to Strange

This week in SSC: "Take, in the same photo, the worst thing that you hate, and the thing, on the contrary, that you love passionately. You should not say in the comment or in the photo the thing you hate and the thing you like; It will be up to the group to guess the answer." I couldn't get these two together in the same photo so I used a little editing. I try to appreciate all of nature but I do like some things more than others. Can you guess how I feel about these two? ;-) ..and for Sight and Sound: Sting from his album "Brand New Day" (1999) Live: Brand New Day Brand New Day

This is a pretty house that I see on my walks sometimes. These adorable little dogs below live here.

Barred Owl Under Attack: video here

Robins, and even a little hummingbird, dive bomb this beautiful barred owl as he perches quietly in a fir tree. (Best on full screen.)

This week in SSC: "Let's make an Album Cover" This week a barred owl visited our yard. I was able to get pretty close and get this shot so I thought I'd use it for my album. I got a little carried away and made the back of the album too (see PIP.) ..and for Sight and Sound: Won't Get Fooled Again Won't Get Fooled Again

This is the back of my album for the SSC Group. You can see the front in the PIP.

It was a happy outing today at the big pond. (Worth a look on full screen.)

For Sight and Sound: Collective Soul from their self-titled album (1995) When the Water Falls When the Water Falls

This week in SSC: "Minimalism using one item for your subject against a basic background." This pretty enamel light switch plate was a gift from a talented friend. ...and for Sight and Sound: The Hollies from their "Evolution" album (1967) When Your Light's Turned On When Your Light's Turned On

This week in SSC: "Take a photo of something in your home or yard that is serene or calming to you" I like to relax on the porch with my outdoor cat "Marble" (PIP) on my lap and just enjoy nature and maybe listen to some music or the wind chimes (PIP) blowing in the breeze. (I feel like I'm writing an ad for a dating service lol :D I enjoy looking at this weeping Japanese maple that has just leafed out this week and is literally glowing. Eventually, the verbena from last year will also flower here. It has just started growing so you can't really see it yet. This is always a calming part of my day and sometimes I get so relaxed that I just fall asleep. :)) (I shot this with my Minotar f2.8 35mm lens at f5.6 (which doesn't show any EXIF) ...and for Sight and Sound: From Gustav Holst's "The Planets": Venus the Bringer of Peace Venus the Bringer of Peace

It's nice to listen to the wind chimes that hang in my porcupine tree. ;-) For Sight and Sound: Porcupine Tree from their "In Absentia" album (2002) Live: The Sound of Muzak The Sound of Muzak Not: The Sound of Muzak

Cool Old Photo time! These are my uncles Tom and Jerry circa 1938. They were my mom's little brothers and they were twins. My grandpa took this photo in b/w and I cleaned it up a bit and gave it a sepia tint. ...and for Sight and Sound: John Fogerty from his album "Centerfield" (1985) Centerfield Live: Centerfield
