Modern miracles

It's become routine but I will never get over having lived to see pictures actually being sent to Earth from Mars. Just astounding.

Sad day

Today would have been my Dad's 86th birthday if he had lived to see it. I bought garden plants because that's what I did for his birthday for the last twenty years of his life. My soul brother Mark Herschler's new song seems to be the only thing I have to say today. Reminds me of how much I miss my Happy Valley family as well. It's been that kind of day.

Amazing art

Well, not as colorful, yet this is just as cool as the guy who does the sidewalk art.

Nice Ice

Probably not the best picture to post when everyone is so sick of winter, but hey, sometimes the cold can be beautiful. Niagara Falls frozen again in the last polar vortex. Hoping this is the last gasp of this endless winter. [photo credit - more photos at link]
