Twenty And Still Going Strong

Today is Daugther's birthday. 19 years ago she was just learning to navigate on the neighborhood sidewalks. Happy 20th Birthday Kelly!

Contradictory

Mixed message from a traffic sentinel.

Ongoing Vehicle Sunday

The yards of two homes in the East Bottoms contain, take your pick, yard art/salvage/trash/collectibles. I'll post more shots later, but thought Donna (Just Me) would get a kick out of this piece. From the rear wheel spikes I'd say it would be right at home on the tundra.

More From Pano Panoply

Views from the west side of Corinthian Hall overlooking Goose Neck and the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway. First image looks primarily west with Gladstone Boulevard on the left and the east bottoms on the right. Skyline is left of center. Second image looks south with the bottoms on the right and Corinthian Hall on the left. Used high dynamic range in these. Each shot is composed of five shots which in turn are composed of five shots and then converted using Photomatix and stitched together with Photoshop. It sounds more complicated than it is... it just takes time.

View From the Mound

View from the top of Indian Mound not far from my house. One in summer, one in winter.

I'm totally ready for the summer view. Each shot is a panorama made up of three different images stitched together in Photoshop. Views look south. Old Wards Catalogue facility is in the left part of the images... now known as Super Flea.

Wanting Lakefront Property

I know.... thank goodness someone finally took a picture of geese. This pair, they mate for life, returns each year ( at least I think it's the same couple ) to North Terrace Lake along Cliff Drive. They select a spot on the island in the middle of the east end of the lake and nest build. She lays her eggs... one per day... 5 to 7 total and they take turns sitting on the nest... although the female does it the majority of the time. 25 or so days later the goslings hatch and a flotilla is created. It is amusing to watch the little ones the first time or two they try to leave the water and head up the bank. The feathered duo was circling the island Tuesday.
