Boston Gets Mooned

Even the ordinary looking scenes can be turned into fun images just like this one taken as I walked down the sidewalk....

Purple Shoes

I have daughters who constantly tell me "it's all about the shoes."  Well, come last prom time it was about these purple shoes.  This weekend she got to dress up again in her prom clothes and shoes and go out on the town to a fancy restaurant just for fun.  I should feel better now.  She has worn the shoes more than once.

Neckties stink

Okay, just who is the wise guy that invented neckties anyway?  They say he is dead now.  I hope he choked to death.....

Lines in the sand

This image reminds me of lines in the sand even though it has nothing to do with sand.  I snapped a picture of a carpet tile at my feet while bored waiting at the airport recently for my flight.  After distorting the image and playing with the colors I finally ended up here.  Nothing spectacular but it does remind me of colored lines in the sand.

Toy Planes

This image takes me back to my boyhood memories of playing with toy planes.

Walk Toward the LIght

Many of you may recognize part of this image from a previous post.  This is another image from the series taken during my recent travels to the East Coast.  While in the Denver Airport waiting for a connecting flight I took advantage of the time to capture a few images.  No matter the large airport it seems like you have to walk forever to get anywhere.  I've got to say that who ever invented the carry-on bags with wheels deserves a medal.  I am old enough to remember the days before we had wheels and my shoulders still feel the weight of my bags as I schlepped around airports carrying all the weight on my skinny little body.  Yep, wheels on bags ranks right up there as one of the best inventions yet--not quite as high as indoor plumbing but high on the list anyway.

Wildfire Shelters Needed Now

The country is on fire.  Heat records are dropping like flies.  And out here in the west wildfires are burning everywhere.  The conditions are so ripe for ignition that even a heated argument may start a fire.  I was recently in the Denver Airport terminals and noticed that all the Tornado Shelter signs were at the restroom entry doors.  I know tornados can be devastating as I lived within a quarter mile of one's path at one time.  But really, just imagine the scene..... Tornado warning and hundreds, probably thousands, of people trying to cram themselves into the public bathrooms at the airport....  I don't want to go there.

However my heart goes out to all those affected by the wildfires this season.  We have several close by.  I have personally been involved in wildfire evacuations before and I know how it feels.  I have witnessed the utter devastation these things cause.  Please be careful out there and pray for relief throughout the country.

All Aboard!

I spent way too many hours in airports lately and several of my images reflect the extra time I had on hand.

All Aboard!

Drivin'

Spend a lot of time behind the wheel?  Good ol' commute hours add up to lots of hours every year.  Hmmm, good time to be productive--sometimes.  Good time to just relax and unwind--sometimes.  Good time for whatever one chooses.  It's all in the choices.

Soft Sounds of Sunday

There is nothing quite as nice on a peaceful Sunday as resting and listening to my only daughter remaining at home as she plays the piano.  Now that she plays so many different pieces of music and so many different hymns she can really entertain us.  She often gets too busy to play pieces and I miss that.  I have enjoyed the many years of practice that have led to the talent she now has and I really enjoy listening to her playing.  Today's image is dedicated to her.
