…of the year. 2010 ended with subtle sunrise so I went about capturing it’s sleepy awaking at a totally different spot this morning (a bit further away than usual…about 2.5 miles from the house).
The moonrise wasn’t too far ahead of the sunrise this morning. And the ducks were restless – we must have a change in the weather headed our way in north Texas.

It was a cool night and the moon was a center stage all night long. A lunar eclipse on the day of winter solstice – one that last happened in 1638. The next time it occurs on the solstice will be in 2094, according to NPR. BTW, the YouTube below is not mine.
I got the sunrise and moon set this morning…that in itself was kind of cool as I kept switching from the east, 180° to the west, and back and forth and back and forth, messing with different camera exposure settings. Whew, already tired…. Continue reading “Totally lunar”
December 17, 2010 sunrise and wildlife at Lewisville Lake…just a mile or so from the house.
When did the middle lane of a 3-lane highway become the preferred lane for slow pokes? And why am I in it? Continue reading
For those of you that can say “see how you are?”, this might help explain a bit why I am like I am sometimes….

With this sponsor and promotion, it kind of makes you want to stay home on opening day, huh?
A fun filled weekend with the Scotties…don’t ask what else they (i.e. Zoey) did ’cause I can’t tell you…but it did make a Scottie owner proud and more completely understand the breed…it’s been a while since the Queen did something like it….atta a girl Zoey!
Zoey gets a treat

A cello, flute, and 17 harps playing O Holy Night at Denton Bible Church. Doesn’t get much better than this in His praise. Continue reading

Christmas Inspiration Received (CIR) from my high school bud Mark (by way of his Facebook posting) comes this video of a Texas family going a bit long on their seasonal spirit:

10/10/2010: University Drive (U.S. Hwy 380) at the Grandy’s in Denton, Texas
You’re lawfully stopped at the red light in the only lane that somehow warrants two traffic lights and apparently you need to be told your directional driving options are unrestricted…so why not put up a sign that essentially says “do whatever you want”?
EIR (Email Inspiration Received) gives a “hallelujah” shout-out to OFF Jayne for sharing her Handel on culture.
I don’t know a single soul that couldn’t stand for a bit more of this kind of…exposure. (have you ever wondered why I keep posting this kind of stuff…perhaps it could be that I’m a bit starved for culture in my life? Yes! And don’t you know, I’ve been accused of being just that (lacking culture) more than once…usually by someone more hungry than I).
11-9-2010 proved to be picturesque in north Texas.
The SUNRISE was captured peaking over the horizon at Lewisville Lake; that show was just as spectacular…

OK, the point is we always need to thank our “Veterans”, and take every opportunity to do so. But know this pet shop’s intentions were in the right place thanking our “Vet-rans” (oh the irony of it all), and also for selling kitties cheap (and ya gotta love the home town creativity of having a Science Diet cat food bag promote the sale)

OFNi Whitney is a champ at finding odd, funny, and sometimes even meaningful YouTube to share…well for that matter, all my nieces are champs at doing just that. I love my nieces as they keep me laughing and “hip” when it comes to current music (although they would most likely argue that last point).
Below is a Facebook posting shared by Whitters: this young man is just too funny not to keep sharing. +15 million hits on YouTube – you think he has a following?
Perhaps the lyrical content of KatyPerry’s song is not always welcome, but this kid is entertainment (or maybe he’s entertaining), especially the last minute of the video! Oh my belly hurts now.
And I don’t even want to know what apparel is on the bed over the kid’s right shoulder (don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back…LOL).
