MoonShot
Not too long ago one morning the sun was coming up in the east while the moon was going down in the west. Grabbed the camera for a few photos. Y’know, trying to do “dramatic” or “spectacular” moon photos with a snapshot camera is quite a challenge. The best four can be viewed at HarpShot’s Flickr Gallery.

Didn’t try taking any pictures of the sun. Wasn’t up high enough to see, actually.

Speaking of new web browsers, today using “Orca”. Doesn’t have anything to do with the splashing sea animal on the Famly Website home page.

Webs All Over the Place

Comments Off on Webs All Over the Place


The other morning I went out to get the paper and noticed webs all over the place. Not just spider webs as such, but strung all over everything, long strings stretching from one thing to another, clumps of it wrapped out things. Ordinarily, I rather dislike these things because I always walk through a string of web on the way to the paper and after you do that you can feel it even though you can’t see it, even if you grab a towel and wipe yourself off. Just doesn’t seem to go away. But, this particular morning the webs were covered with dew and the sun was shining on the dew and, all in all, my eyes were sighting on one photo op after another. Unfortunately, the available photo equipment wasn’t entirely up to the task. Nevertheless, there were a few worthy of uploading to my Flickr gallery.

Sounds of Summer


I ran video mode on the camera a few weeks ago, out in the front yard. You can see and hear it here: Google Videos. It’s kind of how it sounds in my head all the time (tinnitus).
