Winter Thoughts

A young girl walks through the snow deep in thought.

Although winter isn't officially here until December 21st, tomorrow is the 1st. of December. That means winter will be here in 21 days.

Our Savior

Notice the halo.

Coincidence or contrived?

Seen in today's Plain Dealer.

Thirsty Wabbit!

NM Bill's dog dish being sampled by Mr. Bunny.

Fat Cat After Thanksgiving

Too much turkey and dressing...

Pussy In A Box!

What were you thinking?

Sky Friday

After promising sunny skies for the past two weeks and all we got was rain,

the sun finally came out Wednesday with crystal blue skies overhead.

And it looks like more to come until Saturday - when it should snow. 

Young Love

Is that a genuine Chanel pack? Looks like Biker Betty found Richie Rich!

Be Back Soon...

"Coalition Of The Constipated"

A human sculpture by Andrew Baines

See more here.

Andrew comments: "A couple of weekends back I created my most quirky and first guerrilla installation, by lining up 12 toilets along an Australian beach with suited volunteers sitting down reading papers, including Liberal Minister Amanda Vanstone, entitled "Coalition Of the Constipated" it highlighted the lack of toilets on the beach front for an eatery precinct. I suppose you would call this a grass root political issue. POWER TO THE POTTY PEOPLE!"

What a way to start a Monday!

Sky Friday

This magnificent rainbow was captured by NM Bill in New Mexico!

The colors are so intense!

Find The Bird's Nest Contest

Since nobody could find the Goodyear Blimp I thought I'd have an easy contest.

The prize in this instance is knowing you found the nest.

An additional bonus is if you lean back and squint,

you should see all kinds of animal heads ranging from 

a shark, a boar and a buffalo.

Good luck seeing things!

Matchbook Art

Interesting and intriguing artwork on matchbooks.

More of this art can be seen on Dark Roasted Blend's website!

Vanity Plate

The dog says, "You talkin' to me?"

View Of A Nor' Easter

Mars Curiosity Self Portrit

Apparently, Curiosity took 57 photos of itself and NASA stitched them together to make this portrait!

B. Kliban Cartoons

"And bring some shit for my fly..."

I saw this cartoon in the New Yorker Magazine back in the early 90's. It cracked me up!

Just thought about it today.

Ain't Google great?

Ain't It A Hoot?

Look like he just saw Maria Carey bending over in a two-piece!

Philosophical Feline

There must be an aura of zen in my yard.

Here Blackie sits atop the edge of the greenhouse and contemplates the universe.

(Either that or he's wondering how he can catch one of those birds in the feeder)

Either way, there seems to be a distinctive atmosphere that surrounds

the animals that enter my yard.

Remember Chippy?

Sky Friday

Seeing Things?

I see a gnome looking over its shoulder as it tries to get away from a predator.

(Kind of a crew cut, big nose and frowning lips)

Now for a real test, can you spot the bird and the jet? You will have to click to enlarge the photo.
