No Ordinary Love (with no ordinary images)

I had never seen this before, and the photographer had no background information. So after reading through the comments on Flickr, someone who lived in the area was able to provide a few more details. And another user found the link to the artist's website.

the gravestone IS amazing...the detail and the pose are both provocative and disturbing at the same time. The way her hair is spread out and her right hand gripping the edge is so incredibly realistic! What a wonderful piece of work.

the gravestone by itself. the perspective of this, along with all the other ordinary gravestones is just amazing. the contrast between the feminine curves and the rectangular edges is so stark and stunning

Rock In Burma

This is pretty amazing if it's real and not photoshopped. I hope it's real.
Amazing Scene in Burma
What‘s so special about this?
This is a picture of a rock formation near a lake in Burma. The photo can only be taken on a specific day once a year when the sun rays touch the rocks at a certain angle.
Tilt your head to the left and then look at it again  ….

Did you notice anything different? yes or no?

Granted you celebrate Christmas, you'll enjoy this lit-up miniature version of a Christmas tree, without ever having to miss a single e-mail, instant message, or blog post. I'll tell you what this is. It's a sick replacement for what was once a delightful icon of my favorite holiday. But now I'm all growns up, and this girls got work to do. Ahh, spreadsheets and holiday nostalgia. What more could you want??

This Sucks....

....but the response back is GREAT!


A Marine stationed in Iraq recently received a "Dear John" letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows:

Dear Ricky,

I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.

Love, Becky


The Marine, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow Marines for any snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters, ex-girlfriends, aunts, cousins etc. In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies.


There were 57 photos in that envelope....along with this note: Dear Becky,

I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who you are. Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.

Wireless SD Cards

This is GREAT in my book. I'm gonna get one as soon as I can.

New Wireless SD Card Supports Photobucket


We got to try out Eye-Fi's new wireless SD card, touted as "the world's first wireless SD memory card for digital cameras."

What does that mean? Well, it's a memory card for your camera. Looks just like any other. But if you have a wireless network at home, you can automatically link the card to your Photobucket album. And whenever you snap a pic with your camera, and you're within range of your network, the photo will upload to your Photobucket album. And you don't have to even take the card out of your camera! We like that!

But what if you take pics when you're out and about? This is the best bit. Just come home, leave your camera on, flop on the sofa, and the Eye-Fi card will upload all your pics to your album. We like that even more!

We think this little card should be right at the top of your holiday wish list! Click here to read more, and to find out where to buy it.

Live Writer Out of Beta

 

Well Live Writer is finally out of beta and this is my first post using it.  I'm checking it out and seeing what all it can do and what plugins are available.

  roys 010

The above photo was added while typing and these are the fish we caught a week ago Saturday when my room mate and myself went fishing with my brother and sister-in-law.  We had a blast and limited out on red fish.

This is a video from YouTube.  You can insert videos from any URL.

You can also insert hyper links, tables, maps and tags....  Looks pretty cool.

Gonna check out the posting now.  TTYL

Bird Imprint on Passenger Window of Car


In Norfolk VA., I arrived at my local distributor when I noticed a man taking a picture of his passenger side window. When I went to see what he was looking at, I was astounded to see the dusty imprint of a bird that flew into the window. I never would have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. So, I took some pictures and decided to submit them for your enjoyment.

Life and Times in Port Aransas



Just gotta love the weather here. We got our first real cold front and everyone has pulled out the long sleeve shorts, shoes, socks and jackets.

I don't know how long this is gonna last but we have the Lovett's Beach Bash this coming weekend. Karaoke on the Beach is Friday night at marker 27.

Myself, I will be at Lovett's Bar hosting karaoke there if people actually show up. There are still the occasional tourists so they might show up. Gonna hate missing the party, but it's probably a good thing. I would probably get sicker than a dog hanging out on the beach at night. I'm just getting over my last bout and don't want to get it again.

They had Miss Rose's pig/birthday party last weekend and from what I here it was the biggest yet.

Sunday I stayed home instead of going to the Sunday jam session at Neptune's and it's a good thing I did. Steve called me from Lovett's around 10:30pm and said that all of the hill country musicians that did karaoke Friday night were in the bar with all their instruments and jamming out and they wanted me to come down and join them.

I got there about 10:45 and we had a great time and it lasted till closing time. It was a blast.

Yesterday I had to reconfigure the wifi at Lovett's. I think it had something to do with the cold front hitting and the storm it brought with it. I also ordered Tom an original copy of his birth certificate, a replacement social security card and he said that doing all of that plus submitting Lovett's as a wifi hotspot to 15 places erased the debt I owed him for buying me photo paper, business card stock, regular printer paper, 4 print cartridges and I forget all else that he picked up for me, but I loved the deal. Out of debt again!

Life's GREAT!

Catching Redfish With Jalapeno Peppers

Anyone who knows me knows that I live in a "Sleepy little drinking town with a fishing problem". I have caught all kinds of fish here in Port Aransas, Texas, and I have used all kinds of bait. But this is the first time I have ever seen this. I'm going fishing Saturday with my brother and you can bet I'm gonna take some Jalapenoes.
