Day 286 Recital

This silhouette taken at a piano recital at The Atria. Jenn's piano teacher held the recital at a facility where the elderly could enjoy these young and a few not so young performers thrilled us with their musical talent.

What are Googly Balls?  The Jeopardy question to a whatizzit image from a few posts back. These at a local pharmacy.

Day 285 friends


Friends at work. This is Jessi and Angel.  This is the iPhone that Angel has used to capture many images for his blog. Jessi is one of the most upbeat and personable people I know. I think she knows everyone on the complex. It's an honor to be considered a friend.




This is a fountain just outside...


...and this is a remake of a leaf just tipping over the edge of that fountain.

Another evening image.I like the light play appearing to stream through the sky. I'm always uplifted viewing the skies and the many beautiful images that God paints for us in Nature.

Day 283 Candle

I've always loved candles. I still remember the scientific explanation of how a candle flame works. For instance, why does the wick last so long? Ah, perhaps it's because the wick is not the fuel source for the flame. It's just the conduit for the liquid wax before it phase changes to a gas which is what burns.

Day 282 Sunrise

This is the view from the 2nd floor walkway on the east side of the ConocoPhillips complex. The clouds were just right and the sky was blazing. The reflection off the pond completed the a serene view. I like the crescent shaped cutout of the clouds.
