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 ...

Not Just OK ...

Excellent tea service at Smokey Bones Restaurant, Beechmont Avenue, Cherry Grove, Ohio last evening. First rate! Pip Pip, Tally Ho!

A Portal?

This one's for fans of the paranormal. Picture this: imagine a dark hallway, in a spot that does not get any direct light from any windows. Recently, late one afternoon, an image appeared next to our thermostat. The hallway was so dark, I could not, on my Nikon or my Blackberry, get a crisp image without motion blur. The Blackberry's flash wiped out the image and couldn't be turned off (that I know of). SO - here it is for all you Coast to Coast fans.
