Chem Trails?

There are those, out there, convinced that contrails are often government-based chemical trails. I'm not one. However, I did find this contrail highly irregular because it was sputtering (what I might describe as) vapor pockets perpendicular to the contrail's axis. This image was cropped, resized to 800 pixels vertically, and adjusted slightly for brightness/contrast. There was no editing otherwise on the contrail. Photographed around 7:30 PM, May 20, 2013. The camera is pointed approximately north/northeast from Avoca Park (between Mariemont and Terrace Park, Ohio). Copyright 2013, Stephen G. Bayer

Fate

The Cardinal (AKA Redbird) is the official state bird of Ohio. Life's often good because many people like to put lots of sunflower seeds in their birdfeeders. SO, you're a redbird, right? And you're flying around, a nice spring day, a belly full of sunflower seeds, and all seems well. Then, right there in Meijer's parking lot ... ka-blam! Whatever it was, you didn't even see it coming. Afterwards, you become little more than a graphical erubescent tattoo, underfoot, contrasting against the blacktop. Such is grievous outcome of fate. Sorry, you certainly deserved better.

Awww ....

I'm at the vets, inbetween examinations. I have a Meeowwww-inary tract infection and I'm trying to keep my cool between examinations. (Image was downsized, sharpened a bit, and had the brightness histogram tweaked a bit.)

Cheating a bit ...
