Rocks in My Head

Since childhood I have been interested in rocks and minerals. Nearly every time I walked over the the Platte River by our farm, I came back with rocks picked up from its banks or sandbars. The dread question when adults would come to visit was, ”Do you want to see my rock collection.” Politely, theyContinue reading “Rocks in My Head”

Big Mouth

Regarding the caption, you decide to which or to whom it applies. Suffice it to say that this is as close as I ever hope to come to being inside a shark.

Good Place Not to Be

A narrow, rough side trail branched off the Pipiwai trail to the edge of this waterfall. It was dry and provided an interesting perspective to the canyon when we visited in 2005 as seen in the two upper photos. But it wasn’t such a good idea, and the photo from 2021 shows why. The perchContinue reading “Good Place Not to Be”

Chickadee Blues

Hey bluebird wake up; you are about to lose the house we put up for you to a chickadee. Snooze, ya lose!

Sunsets and Boats

Something there is about sunsets and boats that says: ”Made for each other.”

The Great Panzini

A lovely pansy blooms on the cusp of spring. YAY, bring it on!

Seen near The Cove in Inverness, Florida, under an oak canopy over soft sandy soil were two very fine horses. As can be seen in the photo, they are out, standing.

In the lower cental photo, the crater is next to the bottle of wine. Piccolomini crater is 53 miles in diameter and hasContinue reading “Two Heavenly Piccolominis”

Sunset in Light from Hydrogen

The Sun illuminates the Earth in a full spectrum of light during the day, but at sunset much of the ordinary light is filtered out by the Earth’s atmosphere. This leaves mostly the red wavelength of light which is produced by hydrogen from the Sun. Beautiful sunsets are created by the hydrogen light painting cloudsContinue reading “Sunset in Light from Hydrogen”

Dr. Harter’s Wild Cherry Bitters

We recently visited the Silver Springs and in their display of a old bottles was a short, squatty brown bottle proclaiming ”Dr Harter’s Wild Cherry Bitters. I chuckled in excitement since I have my very own Dr Harter’s bitters bottle. The style of the glass manufacture suggests that they were made before 1910. The museumContinue reading “Dr. Harter’s Wild Cherry Bitters”
