Full moon tomorrow…moon rise is at 8:45. Also if you’re in Africa or Europe Wednesday night, look to the night sky to see a blood-red lunar eclipse – the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years (90 minutes). The U.S. ain’t so lucky. We have to wait until December 10th. This is what we had tonight…and I’m going outside right now to take a picture using the tripod:
Is there such a word as “conservating”? Just asking…. Continue reading “Random stuff”
Now this is something I’ve got a whole lot of pictures of….
Most of you limeyfishers know how I like my sunrises over the lake. So I went through the 1,000+ photos of sunrises and pick a few favorites. Then I debated on whether to post them in this “challenge”. So I searched a bit more . I may have stretched the challenge (maybe I don’t think so now) by taking “morning” and figuring what pictures I had that showed something happening then.
What cha think?
Yeah…more golf. This time clips of our talent and prowness on a golf course:
I took over 1400 pictures yesterday! This series could go on for a long, long time y’all (just kidding…on the series going on for a long time…maybe a week…OK, maybe not):
OFB TR started it today. There were a few barbs trade via email…creativity was shared without a tee time reservation.
Friday’s golf outing amongst the family should be fun, interesting, and full of…well…lets just saw if history is any indication of what’s in store for the course, I will need to be a designated golf cart driver for the “young’uns” and their run to the liquor store (losers by the beer) will be sobering. Dad and his 3 sons (the old timers 0r “old farts” if you’d rather) versus 4 of his 5 grandkids (the “Young’uns). It is safe to say we talk (and Photoshop) better than we play the game.
Here are the traded smack photos for today. I must say they are kind of funny. The photo-doctoring all started with OFNi Dani’s clever and humorous talent. Continue reading “Smack down golf”
This is the one week of the year that I dust off my golf clubs (more like clear off the cobwebs) and slip into my golf shoes (but check for spider nests in the toes first). Golf is played twice in one week’s time: Monday in Texas, Friday in Kansas (both charity fundraisers BTW). I play twice a year, and both those tee times are in the same week.
This is the week I also seek counsel from my clergy friends to help me through the next five days. My possessed golf clubs, when used infrequently, have a way of controlling a meek personality, any kind of recreational fun, and testing one’s conviction to the 3rd commandment. Maybe if I listen to gospel music on the iPod while attempting to play this silly game might help….hmmmm
So I didn’t get April’s birthdays posted so I combined them here. Only OFGrNe Mick had the only birthday in April that I know of. All rest have May birthdays within the family…I have 9 of them. I trust someone will tell me if I need to add more.
I do need some pictures from family….
In my vast library of photos I have no pictures of Chuck May…but then what would you expect since we haven’t hung out together since high school Wilson Lake and Steamboat Springs days.
Send me pictures and I will get these folks the photo recognition they deserve! In the mean time, I’ve robbed one picture from Facebook profiles (sorry gang).
Hope everyone had a happy birthday.
Hey y’all! Today is National Trails Day…can you believe it? Have you gone out and hiked or biked a trail yet?
Well I did. This morning I hip-wiggled into my flattering padded tush biking shorts, pumped up the tires and took off for a 6-mile ride on a City trail along the lake edge.
It will never cease to amaze me the things you can see and hear when you’re not motoring. I will always appreciate the natural stuff and truly let its grasp take hold of me. That is until I happen upon a snake (or vice versa).
If that were to happen (a snake and me encounter), well…I’m either going to pity the snake for the panicked wild man wrath about to be unleashed upon it…after the fact, or if someone is with me heaven forbid they get in my way during a hasty, Katy-bar-the-door, asses-n-elbows, Monty Python “run away” retreat. Did I ever mention when confronted by a snake, the kind of snake makes no difference, this blogger can run a whole lot faster than he can bicycle? “Drop the bicycle and RUUUUUNNNNNN!”
But there were no snakes seen today (and you thought you were gonna get a Tim-got-scared snake story didn’t ya? HA!).
Pictures for the Week
4/9/2011: at a stop light somewhere (maybe it was Grapevine)
I must admit it does bother me some that a preachy window sticker like this one is prominently displayed in the back window of this guy’s car. Maybe it was a disgruntled mood moment for me: we were both at a standstill in our cars during rush hour traffic that was going nowhere when I saw this….
My apologies to the faithful limeyfishers…some of these you’ve seen before. Hope you don’t mind the repeat for this week “challenge”
More pianos…arrrrg mate. As one of the commenters says: “even his ass could play the piano”. These piano guys are just too good! Continue reading “Pounding – no tickling – the Pirate ivories”
I don’t know what’s up with me and bugs lately, they always seem to find the flowers I’m taking pictures of.
It was a grand 3-day holiday weekend. This Monday also ended the National Backyard Games Week…Tuesday will mark the end of the National Barbeque Month. I did my usual photography stuff…I actually hopped on the bicycle and tooled down to the Corps Park for pictures this morning. We celebrate all that weekend stuff, and most of us, somewhere, sometime, somehow reflect on our fallen military heros. It truly was a meaning full weekend – thanks!
Great song, great voice, great piano…if you’re in a mood for pop. Got him on my iPod several times over. This song is for the romantic somewhere in each of us…somewhere, right? OK, well maybe not each of us…. Continue reading “TMF: Jon McLaughlin”
It took me a while to get into a tiny frame of mind (don’t know why that was so difficult), but alas…tinyness:
Egads! The past couple days has brought thunderstorms to the area. These are storms that seem a bit unusual…similar to the severe weather in Missouri, Georgia, and North Carolina of late, but obviously not of as grand a scale.
I argue global warming with FB Tony. Don’t anyone panic here – I realize much of the claims are speculation (research is academia – what else would you expect?), but something is going on in the likes very few has seen this weirdness in their lifetime. I’m in the camp of climate change happens – I’m also in the camp believing man has a definite “unnatural” influence and impact that contributes to the ever-changing climate process. How much…no one can really say, so don’t try. It is more of a political volleyball than anything else. Enough of that for now….
